Pokimane gives surprising response after being asked out at TwitchCon 2019
Pokimane, YouTubeImane “Pokimane” Anys is one of Twitch’s most popular streamers, boasting over three million followers on the platform – and one of these fans made a brave move during her stint at TwitchCon 2019.
This year’s TwitchCon threw down in San Diego, California, with top streamers from across the globe gathering in a single spot to meet their fans and catch up with friends.
However, not every fan was there for the general TwitchCon experience, with one attendee making a brave move on their favorite streamer during a meet-and-greet photoshoot.

During Pokimane’s vlog of her meet-and-greet event at the convention, one fan presented her with a note, which appeared to be for an autograph. However, the fan had instead written a message on the paper, which Pokimane answered with a quick scribble of her pen, laughing all the while.
As it turns out, the fan had actually asked the streamer out, giving her two “yes” boxes to checkmark her response.

Despite his apparent hopes, Anys didn’t mark inside the boxes: rather, she wrote a quick message beneath his question, answering, “Don’t ask people out at TwitchCon :P”
Rather than being upset at her answer, the fan appeared to be delighted at her humorous response, explaining the situation to her cameraman.
“So, I asked, ‘Date me – yes or yes,’” the fan clarified. “And she responded what I hoped she did.”

While this fan interaction ended on a wholesome note, Pokimane’s TwitchCon experience saw the streamer receive a bodyguard, explaining that Twitch gave certain personalities extra security, should they receive threats or disturbing messages across social media sites.
“They started giving extra protection/bodyguards to people who were getting weird messages,” the Twitch star said. “It was really, really, really nice from Twitch’s side, I got to say that. It’s just ah, spooky – and you guys will see my bodyguard in my vlog.”
The streamer likewise claimed that her bodyguard had to escort an individual out of the event – and although she failed to elaborate on the instance, it appears that her TwitchCon experience was relatively drama-free, as told by her humorous vlog.
