Twitter reacts to Pokimane crying

This is not the first time that the internet has seen Pokimane's emotional side.

When the streamer interacted with popular Harvard-trained psychiatrist Alok Kanojia, aka Dr K, she became emotional while speaking about her "real identity".

She once again became emotional when recently speaking about the health of her family members, who had unfortunately contracted COVID.

With Pokimane now posting a series of crying pictures, the online community has jumped in with a barrage of positive and supportive messages.

Some even responded with pictures of themselves crying, as her message ended up striking an emotional chord with them:

Hey poki Mane My mom always said, Don't cry Cause the Sun shines tomorrow. I don't know what That means but I just wanted to Tell you This 👍

One of the most popular streamers in the world today, Pokimane is known to command a stellar fan following across the globe.

Despite her popularity, she is often subjected to criticism, most of which come across as unwarranted and excessive.

While Pokimane has had her fair share of controversies in the past, after her recent public apology, she seems to be solely focusing on creating content and achieving new goals in 2021.
