Pokimane vs Atrioc Just Got Worse

Almost four years after Atrioc's deepfake scandal, one Pokimane stream has the internet defending the guy who had the tab open. Atrioc reportedly dropped out of TwitchCon, xQc and Asmongold went after her, and the backlash has flipped. Not exactly how this was supposed to go. On 25 Oct 2026, Pokimane said on stream that seeing Atrioc causes her discomfort and anxiety, years after his January 2023 deepfake controversy. She clarified on X that the page shown on his stream was of her. Atrioc said her feelings are valid but that he doesn't like being used as a weapon, and he reportedly withdrew from his TwitchCon 2026 panel. Destiny has claimed a screenshot from her stream showed deepfakes of other streamers, but that claim is unverified and unconfirmed by any outlet or by Pokimane.
