Viewer shames Valkyrae for “watching ex,” gets called out by netizens

A random Twitter user admonished Rachel “Valkyrae” Hofstetter for watching her ex-boyfriend’s stream instead of “going to the gym.”

In a bizarre set of events, a user responded to a Corpse Husband reply on a Valkyrae Twitter post that rhetorically talked about her addiction to Among Us.

The fan accused Valkyrae of being addicted to ex-boyfriend Michael “Sonii” Sherman, a fellow content creator/streamer. He then went on a bizarre rant, which people on Twitter were not at all happy about.

Valkyrae apparently said during the stream that she planned to “go to the gym” but got busy watching Sonii’s stream. This was enough for the viewer to accuse Valkyrae of being fake and shameless. He was angry at her for “neglecting” her chat and spending time instead watching Sonii’s channel.

One of my issues with Social Media has always been the entitlement people think they have to what their favorite Content Creator does / doesn’t do.Our lives are not for you to control or dictate.. we are human and going through this thing called LIFE just like you.🙃❤️ https://t.co/Jdr8ATx8IJ

Quite a few people tried to talk sense into the viewer, with one stating that Valkyrae has the right to do whatever she wants. In response, the fan explained that he did not like her because she wasn’t transparent and went on a bizarre rant.

This dude is fucking weird.
