Remaining unfazed by trolls
Valkyrae has been viewed as an advocate for women in the realm of gaming and has often collaborated with female creators, with the hope of constructing better representation in an inclusive environment.
While trolls are inevitable in the digital age, she seems intent on not getting affected by them.

Pervasive toxicity seems to be in abundance on streaming platforms and in such a scenario, it is imperative for streamers to address such instances in order to effectively combat them.
With her recent tweets, Valkyrae appears to be leading the charge in the fight against unjust demands and incessant trolling.
