Twitch streamers Imane “Pokimane” Anys and Tyler “Ninja” Blevins were at a war of words recently following the former’s controversy with disgraced streamer Jidion.
Poki recently called out Tyler after she reacted to his VOD, wherein he offered his help to Jidion in evading a possible suspension after his community sent vile messages to Pokimane on her Twitch chat.
Ban went from 14 days to a perma???? please use the #twitchfreejidion for me boys❤️

Jidion has since been permanently banned from Twitch for his role in causing harassment to Poki and her fans. Over the past week, Anys was subjected to a ton of crude messages, which even caused the streamer to turn her account private on social media platform, Twitter.
However, following her full-fledged return on Twitter, Pokimane and Ninja went at each other after the former condemned Tyler for trying to help Jidion.
Ninja clarified his stance in a private DM by noting that he didn’t help Jidion. However, he ended his message with a rather threatening tone, in which he noted that Poki was making a big mistake.
After Pokimane revealed her chats with Ninja to her fans, Tyler’s wife Jessica Blevins sent her another DM, where she threatened to sue Anys for character defamation as she claimed that the Twitch streamer was bringing harassment upon her husband.

Mizkif was shocked by Poki’s decision when her tweets went live during his stream.
“Poki, you’re nuts, you’re crazy, you don’t give a f*** anymore.”
Streamers like ConnorEatsPants, Pokelawls, QTCinderella supported Pokimane in her struggles against all the harassment. They even criticized Tyler and his wife for their actions as well.

If Ninja’s upset about being harassed and “misrepresented”… imagine how Pokimane feels every single day being a woman on Twitch

Some streamers like Valkyrae and Disguised Toast couldn’t help but laugh at this crazy turn of events as they joked with Poki about her difficult situation.

Other than that, creators like HasanAbi also wondered whether Ninja’s action could lead to him getting suspended as well.
“What if Ninja gets banned right after this now?”
In the end, it seems like things are about to get messy between two of the biggest stars on Twitch, and fans of both Pokimane and Ninja hope this situation doesn’t cause any troublesome legal proceedings.
