Twitch and YouTube star Rachell "Valkyrae" has responded to those calling her out for "playing games during a genocide" by disclosing that she intends to donate money to Gaza and other places, adding that people "can hate her all they want." During a livestream on October 23, 2025, before Valkyrae started playing Digimon Story: Time Stranger, her attention was drawn to a viewer who seemed to criticize her.
They wrote:
"Kinda horrible to be playing games during a genocide."
In response, the co-owner of 100 Thieves stated that she would soon donate money to Gaza, Congo, and another region or organization in need of monetary aid. While requesting the netizen to also donate to the cause, Valkyrae said:
"Well, I'm doing a fat donation to not just Gaza, but to other places in the world that need it as well. I think it's going to be next week. I hope that you participate in donating. Please, donate to the cause as well when I post about it. So, yeah, I'm thinking Gaza, Congo, and... I was thinking of one other organization. Do three of them. So, you can hate me all you want. That's fine. But you can donate to the cause as well."
