On February 3, Twitch streamer Imane ‘Pokimane’ Anys and YouTuber Jidion shocked the internet by announcing a completely unexpected collaboration. This news came as a shock to fans, as Jidion had notably orchestrated a hate raid against Pokimane in January by sending his fans to spam her Twitch chat. The situation soon spiraled out of control, with both Anys and her fans receiving intense harassment from internet trolls. Twitter: pokimanelolPokimane is Twitch’s most-followed female streamer. She recently re-signed with the platform after he previous two-year contract with the platform expired. It wasn’t long before Jidion issued a public apology to Pokimane and urged his fans to stop the madness, but the damage was done; Jidion had copped a permanent ban from Twitch and Anys’s social media profiles were rife with hateful and inappropriate comments.
