Pokimane returns to Twitter with single 'hi'; breaks the internet

Imane Pokimane Anys is one of the world's most popular streamers, who has amassed a stellar fan following throughout her streaming career.

Her clean-cut persona, replete with cuteness, has pandered to the idealistic notions of millions of "simp" fans across the globe. In what constitutes an example of toxic fandom, these simps religiously believe that Pokimane is their 'queen.' But they were recently left distraught when the 24-year-old announced that she would be taking a month-long hiatus from streaming and social media.

Her decision to take a break stemmed from persistent criticism and the boyfriend drama she found herself recently embroiled in, courtesy the series of videos made by ex-YouTuber, LeafyIsHere.

Pokimane had returned briefly on 19th August to issue an apology, before returning to her break. With the one-month sabbatical almost over, Pokimane recently returned on Twitter to post the following:
