In 2018, one of the most popular streamers, Ninja, told Polygon that he doesn’t play with female gamers. Rachel later tweeted:

”To hear rumors like ‘I heard he’s cheating on you’ is 24/7 toxic to a relationship. Respect decisions that limit drama in people’s personal lives.”

Other famous female streamers are Katerino and Corinna Kopf.
