- (boy) And I usually come on and make sure people are having
a good day and feeling good about their selves,
make sure they're always up and not down.
- (Pokimane) That's so nice! How are you real?
- Oh my-- - It's not real. It can't be.
There's no such thing. Does not exist.
- (laughs) - (Pokimane) Awww.
- I hope it's some nine-year-old. Please.
- It is a nine-year-old! (laughs) - I've seen this! Oh my gosh.
I don't believe this is real. Is he really?
He knows he's on camera! He has to know he's on camera!
- If it was real, I can't imagine--
I cannot imagine a nine-year-old saying that stuff.
- A nine-year-old on Fortnite that's not yelling at you
and...? Hmm...
- (React) This is Poki or Pokimane, who also is Imane.
She's a content creator... - Imane.
- (React) ...who streams games and reactions on Twitch.
And as of filming this episode of React, she has over
six million subscribers on YouTube and over seven million on her Twitch.
So, she actually got a lot of views because this video,
and she ended up talking to his mom for a brief second.
So, what do you think about that?
Do you see that often at all? - She is incredibly good at games.
It's sort of crazy. - With gaming, it comes
with the baggage of negativity and, you know, hate and all that.
It just comes with the game, so to see something like that,
it's kind of astonishing. - Fortnite especially.
Fortnite is a toxic game. - (Pokimane) Today, I will be
going through unban requests... - Oh! I've seen a lot do this.
This is so fun. - (Pokimane) Quite a few people
get banned on my channel, 'cause a lot of people
be saying some wild [censored]. You know, the audacity.
"So much makeup today." Banned. - Oh my god.
That was so sweet. Genuinely. - (Pokimane) "You look ugly
as [censored]." "I was trying to compliment you!"
- That's crazy. That was too good. - That has to be an unban.
You have to unban some of them. - (Pokimane) "True. You are very
insecure without it. Can you start crying for real,
so people can put it on LSF?" - (laughs)
- (Pokimane) "I wanna see you. I love you. You so sexy."
- I know exactly how this is! Sometimes, I have some really,
really random unban requests. I've done it a couple times.
It is-- sometimes, people say the stupidest [censored].
- I also think possible since they know it's all recorded,
since they know it's going to go to so many people
around the world and all that, they wanna try to make a big deal
and try to be the big fuss of the video.
So, maybe it's a publicity stunt. They kinda wanna get someone--
her attention, so they say all these things.
- They're behind a computer. That's why. Let's be honest.
- I definitely agree with that. I think it's either the fact
that they're behind a computer screen and they wanna get attention
like that, or it's the opposite, where they don't think
they're gonna get attention, and it just so happens
that it comes back to them, and they get called out for it.
- There's no real consequences, like not really,
unless somebody-- on the rare occasion that people find your address,
which not cool, but there's no real consequences
when you're putting something in a Twitch chat
other than getting banned. - I think also with how often
she gets it and how big she's grown, she had time to experience all of it
and see the best way to react to not bring any negativity
to anything. So, I think like it said, it's hard to handle
all the negativity and the hate and things
that you don't wanna achieve. But she does a good job
of turning it into just a comedic aspect of her content.

- (Pokimane) Oh, no, no, no! - (Pokimane and John laugh)
- (Pokimane) Okay, this is well made, kinda cute.
- (laughs) - (John) But?
- (React) What do you guys think? Is it a bop?
- It's so sweet, but oh god.
- (Pokimane laughs) - Ugh! Oh my god! Okay.
(laughs) That's a bit... ah... - (Pokimane) Okay, this is...
- I think she handles it really well. I mean,
this song wasn't-- it wasn't horrible,
and it wasn't super uncomfortable like a lot of other people can be.
So, I think it's nice that she has fun with it.
- To be fair, I think we don't get it nearly as much
as they do. I feel like we want-- we get stuff
once in a while, right? Like, fan art is nice.
- I remember when I was on Kids React before I came to Teens React,
they would write Jaxon x Reader fanfictions
on Wattpad. It gets too far!
And there was this one person that I didn't respond to.
He thought I was making fun of him, and he sent me a picture of his poop.
- (laughs) - He legitimately sent me
a picture of his poop! I was...
- It's like-- it's so weird when you're a kids reactor,
and then there's people like, "Love you so much!"
I'm like, "Yeah..." - You can like Pokimane. That's fine.
Go for it. But I feel like it's a bit weird to go above
and beyond for someone you don't really know,
you know what I mean? The little bit, you know what I mean?
- People have their own ways of showing love.
They gotta do what they gotta do.
- Love you Pokimane! - (Pokimane) I made a Fortnite emote,
and it's in the store. ♪ (upbeat music) ♪
- She's on Fortnite! Oh my god!
Go Po-- okay! - That is cool.
- Okay! Get it! Look at her go!
- (React) A lot of people are actually recreating the dance.
And they're posting it on TikTok and sending it to her.
Would you do the dance
and post it and send it to her? - I think I'm okay. Eh... ehhh...
- I've danced once in my life for a video, and I will never
do that again. (chuckles) - I think that is so cool for her!
From playing a game that you enjoy to having you be in it and stuff.
But I do not know if that is for me.
- That must be a weird feeling.
- Man, that's an accomplishment right there. Big time.
(scraping)
- Ah! No! No! - Oh, ASMR.
- Oh my god! - Does she have an ASMR channel?!
- Yeah. Yeah, she does.
Oh my god. - I did not know this.
- This is a thing?! - Oh, wow.
- Oh my god! I have to take off my headphones.
Seriously, I cannot stand-- I can't-- ugh.
- (React) What do you think about her making this whole
separate channel to make these videos?
- Whatever rocks her boat, man. - I mean, Pokimane, you do you.
If you wanna make ASMR content, make money and become rich
and have to pay no taxes. - Wait. No, no, no, no, no!
Pay your taxes. Don't be Ludwig, you know? (giggles)
- (laughs) I mean... - (Pokimane) Hi, everyone.
Welcome to my new channel. It's called Imane.
As some of you guys know, that's my name.
I know I usually go by Poki or Pokimane,
or actually it's supposed to be Po-kee-mahn.
But for this channel, it's just my name,
which actually means faith in Arabic.
- (React) Do you think it's a smart move to have
so many different channels? Or do you think she's good,
because she's in a stable place with her career?
- That's a lot to manage. So many channels!
And she probably also has the groove.
She knows what she's doing. She knows what she has to,
you know, do to have a successful video.
So, I don't think finding a whole new algorithm
is gonna be too hard for her. I think she could just stick
to being herself and doing that. And then she'll be able to just
make more income. - One for her main gaming stuff,
another one for her vlogs and herself, another one for, say, her VODs,
and say, like-- and last-- sorry.
Her ASMR for another. And maybe just a channel
just for her VODs, like the full VOD
in and of itself. And all that income generates
a lot of money, so it makes complete sense
on why she does it. - I still can't comprehend
that people like her could be actually watching this.
My brain won't let me think that. My brain is just like, "No,
you're bad!" And that might be my own
personal problem I'm not ready to deal with.
- (React) Before we go, is there anything
that you want to say to Imane or any type of content
you're excited to see from her? - If you are watching this right now,
Pokimane, lots of love. You're super POG as the kids--
that's so-- (laughs)
Love you lots! You're so cool!
- Pokimane, seriously, if you are watching,
thank you very much. You are such an inspiration
for someone who likes to stream a variety of different things.
So, you and OfflineTV, such a great influence
on the internet. You guys are absolutely fantastic.
And I just wanna say thank you for being a great personality
on Twitch and an influence on someone like me,
a smaller streamer. So, thank you very much.
- I think everything that you're doing is amazing.
I do lurk in your channel probably while I'm doing other stuff.
I'm gonna be honest. I'm not fully paying attention
when I watch Twitch streams usually, but I think your content's great.
Keep making a lot of stuff. I hope you get to--
what are you trying to get-- immortal this act?
- It's inspiring to see that another female could do that
and have such great impact in such a growing industry.
So, keep doing you. And yeah, can't wait to see more.
Thanks for watching this episode of Teens React.
