Rod ‘Slasher’ Breslau posted one popular tweet in response.

Pokimane even replied with a quick word of thanks.

The debate over the photo led to many streamers posting photos without makeup on and a variety of responses ranging from support to accusing people of being virgins.

Lost in all this debate about makeup is a crucial fact: Being an on-camera personality requires makeup 99.9% of the time, for both genders. 

While Twitch isn’t exactly broadcast news, setups like Pokimane’s have light kits and high definition cameras. 

For those setups, makeup is required to stop the face from being shiny and many popular male streamers are using makeup as well to improve their appearance on camera, that’s just a requirement in on-camera professions.
