Imane Anys, also known as Pokimane on Twitch, is a hugely popular League of Legends and variety streamer. On Tuesday, she decided to try something new with her stream: putting on makeup live in front of fans. It’s not something she’s done, the streamer is very particular about her public image and how her fans view her.
“I actually feel so bare,” Imane says at the start of her stream. “I have no makeup on so if you think I look different, I’m sorry.” She then spent the next two hours putting on makeup, doing her hair and talking with the viewers of her stream. In response, Twitch chat users spammed the usual “thicc” and what they felt might have been compliments. “Eye liner is so hot, can’t wait for that part,” wrote one. “I would beat u (sic) cutely)” said another.
Anys’ fan base tends to skew on the younger side, with some unaware of how makeup can change a person’s look. “Chat we are pokimanes boyfriend (right now) all of us,” wrote WheresMyVirginity. Imagine watching the same streamer nearly every day for hours at a time. You know everything about them, but they have no idea you even exist. It’s a parasocial relationship, a term adapted for the online generation to refer to the way viewers feel personally connected to streamers they’ve never met before.
It’s unfair to judge thousands of Twitch users by the messages of a few vocal fans, but these statements seem to be echoed in tweets after the stream. Twitter user pexi_v posted two pictures of Anys: one with makeup and one without. The tweet quickly gathered steam, with dozens of commenters confused as to what they were looking at.
