Pokimane Backlash Over “Kitchen” Joke

There's no way people are taking this seriously lmao

[the_enjineer]

Pokemane: rationally but needlessly explains herself about why jokes are jokes*.
This guy: so I she in the wrong.

[grace]

she literally said
“girls look cute in aprons”
“i really like food”


how is that wrong
she complimented them and still said how it’s a joke

[prathampatel]

I love how people like this guy turn absolutely nothing into

“Is pOkI iN tHe wRoNG”

Shit got resolved there and then

[vixxa]

as a woman, we make this joke constantly. it’s just so funny how people actually have the brain to think that

[tsude]

Poki isn’t in the wrong she literally laughed after she said that her chats just on crack 😂

[_HOLLOW_-lldj]

She’s literally a woman, this is like calling a black guy racist for saying the N word 😭

edit: since this comment has blown up, I’d like to clarify a few things, first of all, not saying it’s impossible for women to be misogynistic, if she was actually being serious then I’d say people would have a right to be offended, but (and this is but an example) I have come to notice that many minorities on the internet make jokes about their race or gender as a way of breaking the ice between them and those who may try to oppress them, it is an attempt to allow people who might have differing views about them to see things from their point of view, and just generally have a laugh at nobody’s expense but their own. Due to them being of the ethnicity or gender, and therefore most likely having experienced sexism to some degree, this may just be a joke they are trying to achieve the same affect with as I was talking about earlier. Secondly, I and many other women I know seem to make jokes like this almost as a coping mechanism to try and allow people to understand oppression in a humorous way, which again, is a common method of subconsciously trying to reduce oppression against a people or person.
There are some people however who genuinely have negative views towards their own gender or race, which can lead to others of that group feeling negatively effected, although these people do not tend to express their opinions in the form of jokes, but rather, serious speech. Because at the end of the day, a joke is a joke. As long as it is not targeting an individual, the subject of the joke is usually at expense. Therefore by joking about the oppression of women, Pokimane is in my opinion, rejecting the topic as a whole.

“Is poki in the wrong?” By far the most moronic question to be asked.

[anishogale]

I love how she explains that she is joking and he still says"is poki in the wrong?"

[acidic_pengu]

She literally LAUGHED. She couldn't keep a straight face while making the joke. No she's not in the wrong...

[karstensteven]

The fact we ask “is it wrong.” Is honestly wrong.
No. She’s not wrong. Leave people alone.

[soscili]

"is poki in the wrong?"
she made a joke. She explained the joke. I personally don't think it's sexist and I think girls looks hot in aprons so

[MoreDeiftwaser]

"Is Poki in the Wrong?"
This is probably the stupidest thing I've heard

[Rikulolx]

man rlly said “is poki in the wrong” like if that were possible in this scenario

[mthing]

"She is recieving a lot of backlash" Just 1 random person asking for that joke probably because they didn't understand it and this guy thinks the whole community is hating on her for that.

[FiascoAlmighty]

"Is poki in the wrong" bro even Burger King got less backlash from their joke

[joy-mmjq]

She's literally laughing at the end of the sentence. That's what happens when you're making a joke. If it was a cisman, that would be more sus. But since it's a woman making the joke, it's because they are a part of the group they are in.

[meandtheboys]

There’s no way for me to be on poki’s side without being called a simp by actual smips

[miguelferis]

No, she’s not in the wrong. People are just too sensitive these days and can’t tell different from a joke and a hatred comment.

[sigh]

This is easily one of the biggest non-controversies I’ve ever seen, it got resolved in like 5 minutes
