Kicking off the conversation, Pokimane emphasized that “it varies based on individual perspectives and how one chooses to engage,”while sharing her personal stance.

She recognized that her behavior might come across as “judgmental”or “harsh”but justified it by stating, “I hold myself to very high standards, which influences how I perceive others.”

Moreover, she elaborated on the significance of being able to “express herself”and maintain a strong opinion as essential for remaining true to her audience.

As she engaged with Lily on this subject, Pokimane expressed that even if her self-expression might at times seem “a bit harsher”and provoke criticism, she believes that “there are people who resonate with those perspectives and understand.”

She also highlighted the vital role of being a relatable figure and how self-expression is key to establishing that connection.

“I firmly believe that without sharing your thoughts or opinions, you deprive others of the chance to relate or connect with you,”she articulated.

Pokimane added, “I’m all for self-expression, although I realize it’s something I need to continue refining to feel comfortable with what I put out there, especially when revisiting it later.”

In closing, she humorously remarked that “no matter what you say, people will likely forget it in a couple of hours after scrolling through countless TikToks and Reels.”
