Popular Twitch star Imane ‘Pokimane’ Anys has blasted co-streamer and former Overwatch League star Daniel ‘Dafran’ Francesca for what she called a sexist view.
As Dexerto reported, Sinatraa’s ex-girlfriend Cleo ‘cle0h’ Hernandez posted a document on March 9 alleging that the Sentinels player was sexually abused in their relationship.
Dafran, who was a former teammate of Sinatraa during their time in the Overwatch team Selfless, was extremely outspoken in his defense of the 2019 OWL MVP.
In a series of controversial tweets, Dafran wrote: ‘E-girls can be scared like a Twitch streamer. They will try to jebait or photoshop evidence and then fuck you. I’m not saying she’s one, but she can be. ‘
We have to wait for Sinatraa’s side of the story. E-girls can be fucking scary as a drag star. They will try to jebait or photoshop evidence and then fuck. I’m not saying she’s one, but she can. People have been waiting for something to cancel Sinatraa over https://t.co/golWvkVG1z

After backtracking on his remarks, he doubles down and follows up, writing: ‘How is it fair that someone can shout at a public figure without any question? The public gets too much power, the world is shocked. ”
Francesca’s comments spread quickly, with Pokimane addressing his remarks live on air. Initially, she had no idea that Dafran was a real streamer with a substantial following, and believed that he was just an internet troll.
Pokimane responds to Dafran’s comments
‘I’ve been in this business for so long that I’m insensitive to a lot of the bulls. However, I try to make people very difficult to take advantage of the doubt, but something you can not shine on is as difficult as he tries to make his perspective seem logical, and he ignores the fact that he ultimately based it on her gender, ‘she said after reading the tweet from the Danish streamer.
‘He does not say’ be careful who you believe on the internet ‘, but he specifically says that she is a girl. Therefore, be careful because they will deceive you, “she added.” As in a fantasy eroticism and all the women around us are succubi. “
Anys continued her attack on Dafran, saying that although he thinks he is trying to be “skeptical” and “logical”, he only has this perspective because the accuser was female.
‘I can promise you as a girl who’s been in this scene for years. This is another reflection of the fact that we rarely ever get the benefit of the doubt, ‘she insisted. ‘We have to work so hard to be even half as credible as anyone, just because of what’s between our legs. And it’s crazy. ‘
Dafran responds to Pokimane
During his own stream, Dafran responds to Pokimane’s comments, making his Twitch title: “I stand by everything I said on Twitter … and no, I’m not sexist as this Pokimane man says.”
“When I call Pokimane a sexist, I do not give up. Get fede, ou. Do not change my opinion, “he said upstream. “Just because they have 60,000 viewers or whatever, does not mean they are right.”
‘The world is shocked if it continues like this, where we just immediately believe the girl with their accusations. Like, it’s just outrageous. We need both sides, ‘he concluded, ending his broadcast.
Riot Games and Sentinels suspended Sinatraa and prevented him from playing in the Valorant Stage 1 Masters while they investigated the allegations.
The Overwatch League is also giving back OWL tokens to players who bought its MVP Alien Zarya skin. Blizzard will also remove MVP badges from the skin in a future patch.
Won himself commented on March 10 on allegations where he denied ever assaulting his ex-girlfriend. He further added that he was cooperating with the investigation.
Cloud9’s Tyson ‘TenZ’ Ngo will replace Sinatraa in the upcoming Valorant Champions Tour Masters 1.
