A voice actor and YouTuber had a brilliant idea: He was auctioning off a playdate with longtime Twitch streamer Pokimane, 28, as a charity auction. Huge bids are coming in, but it’s wrong.
Here's the idea:
- Voice actor Connor “CDawgVA” Colquhoun hosts a charity event and raises funds for the “Immune Deficiency Foundation.”
- As a special mask, it offers a play session with Pokémon. Through it, you can play your favorite games and share an unforgettable experience.
- Pokimane holds a special place in the gaming world because for many years she was the only woman in the top ten on Twitch in terms of follower count. Her fans were often accused of only seeing her because she was so attractive and because they thought they had a chance with her. “Pokimane Tier 3 Subs” were the Simps of Twitch before the term “Simp” existed.
Pokimane is one of the streamers who managed to professionalize themselves through Prime Gaming:

Bids over $500,000 for Date with Pokimane were false.
And this is the result nowHuge bids were made, over $410,000 and up to $500,000. But these bids turned out to be fake.
The organizer is very angry about this. He says it is “very frustrating” to have false bids at a charity auction. There is nothing sadder in life than to have false donations made to a good cause. This is very sad.
Even if the $500,000 is fake, the real bids are still very high.
Pokemon fans spend a lot of money, but they're not that crazy.
Where are the offers now?The auction appears to have now been cleared of false bids and the highest bid is $30,200 (via tilt).
If you want another chance at a date with Pokimane, you'll have to offer $30,700. Still high, but at least it's not half a million dollars anymore.
Who gives a lot of money? One of the bidders who reached $19,000 was StableRonaldo, a 21-year-old Twitch streamer who made his money playing Fortnite and is now using the auction to create content himself.
Has anything like this ever happened before? In 2021, streamer Ludwig got a watch with the legendary shooter's cover and spent $53,000 on it.
Pokimane himself turns his nose up at the formulation.
What does Pokimane say about this? I shared a relatively low offer, $2,550, and pumped in the following:
“Your only chance to play with me LMAO.”
Pokimane apparently didn't like the phrase “share an unforgettable experience” (via tweetOther Twitter users said it looked like she had been sold by a pimp.
Pokimane has actually had an impeccable image for years and has made sure to always appear professional and friendly. Despite being the only woman in the top 10 to be under particular scrutiny for years, she has done very well with a few exceptions. But in her recent actions on Twitch, she has come under heavy criticism when she launched a product: Twitch’s highest ethics authority condemns Pokimane’s behavior in the cookie affair
“Unapologetic analyst. Infuriatingly humble coffee evangelist. Gamer. Unable to type with boxing gloves on. Student. Entrepreneur.”
