Twitch's streamer Imane "Pokimane" has faced a lot of mixed reactions to her response to the Ava Kris Tyson situation. Many have come forward to accuse her of sitting on the fence while also pointing out her scathing comments when the Guy "Dr DisRespect" situation came to light (suggesting that she hasn't been completely unbiased). Here's a comparison post on her two statements:
"I don’t know all the details regarding the ava situation but I wanna make it clear - any inappropriate behavior towards minors is unacceptable, regardless of who you are."
Many have noticed the apparent change in tone in her statement when it came to Ava's situation. Her response has garnered a slew of criticism from the conservative side of the internet. For example, Kick streamer Adin Ross said:
"Why are so many creators scared to f**king tweet and talk about it but they were so quick to put all these tweets about Dr DisRespect?"
Rumble streamer Nico "Sneako," a red-pill streamer, also reacted to Pokimane's post on Ava. He controversially said:
"Chris gets caught being a pedophile and she defends the trans community instead of disavowing Chris. These are the standards of every streamer right now. They care more about the demonic trans ideology than kids getting groomed."

"She’s not being hypocritical at all. People are just being weird as f**k about this situation and demanding way too f**king much."
