Pokimane addresses her sexuality to her fans

During a VALORANT stream, the streamer was vibing to some tunes and spending some quality time with her avid fanbase. One fan decided to ask Pokimane a personal question, positing “that’s fine” if the streamer didn’t feel comfortable elaborating on her sexuality. However, the streamer kindly obliged to answer her fan: “I have a maybe weird answer for this and I hope it’s not offensive to anyone.”

“It’s like, yeah my whole life I’ve felt straight, but also I feel like sexuality is on a spectrum and who knows how people feel at one point of their lives and another,” the streamer began to explain. She continued: “who cares if I’m straight, bi, or lesbian. Like, it doesn’t matter, so I don’t ever care to talk about it.”

Pokimane also says she “doesn’t correct” people either when it comes to her preferences, as “it shouldn’t make a difference in what they think of me as a person.”
