During one of Maya Higa's Twitch live streams, a random viewer decided to get rude and called her out. He stated that she only has this many viewers because she was a girl.
Suffice to say, things didn't go well, as Maya Higa immediately called the viewer out and dropped the mic on chat, shutting down the sexist remark and leaving viewers cheering on for an encore. This is what she had to say:
"To the person who said that I only have ten thousand viewers because I'm a girl. I have a couple of things to say to you. One: I only have ten thousand viewers cause my boyfriend went offline. Two: I only have ten thousand viewers because there are many other streamers in Austin that people wanna see on my stream, and they think that they are going to bust into the room. Three: I don't even look like a girl."
