A Fortnite player lucky enough to play Duos with Pokimane had his round c🐠ut short when his girlfriend got mad at him for teaming with the streamer.
The chances of running into or siding with a famous Fortnite streamer are slim-to-none. Even when the likes of Ninja and Tfue decide to partner up with random players, the odds of getting to fight alongside them are very, very small. However, to celebrate the addition of her very own emote to Fortnite, Pokimane decided to team up wi𒐪th random players for a few rounds of Duos.
The emote features a dance Pokimane created and made famous after posting it on TikTok and is available now in Fortnite's game store. Back to the matter at hand, and over the weekend P👍okimane streamed live on Twitch as she paired up wit𒅌h random players for a few rounds of Duos.
One of🍃 those rounds was cut short when the player she was paired with had his game interrupted by his girlfriend. The player reveals that his significant other is mad that he's playing with Pokimane. The streamer asks "Is your girlfriend actually mad or joking mad?" to which her Duos partner replies "the first one." That then becomes very clear as you can hear for yourselves in the clip below.
The player exclaims "really?" before other noises can be heard and he says "ow", so is presumably ✤being hit by his angry girlfriend. Things then get understandably awkward as the player apologizes to Poki and the two say it was nice to have met each other as the player logs off m🌳id-game. Embarrassing for the player, and also pretty worrying.
Worrying for a couple of reasons. Not just because it sounds as if his s/o is hitting him, which is not 🌸okay, but all is not well if someone can't play a game online with someone else just because they are the opposite sex. Later on duri𝄹ng the stream, once the awkwardness has subsided, Poki recalls a time when a boyfriend of hers wasn't okay with her love of gaming. Poki also revealed, "I’ve experienced guys being mad at me for playing with other guys that are just my friends." Needless to say, those guys are now firmly in her past.
