"Some people want me to just die": Valkyrae says people have made her 'villain' amid recent controversy

Twitch and YouTube star Rachell "Valkyrae" has expressed her opinion that "some people want her to just die" and that they have turned her into a "villain" amid the recent controversy. For those unaware, the content creator made headlines on October 28, 2025, after netizens accused her of racism.

The controversy was sparked when a video went viral in which Valkyrae commented on Blaire "QTCinderella" facing homophobic and racist allegations, claiming that the Streamer Awards host's "tone doesn't help" because she "sounds really angry all the time."

Additionally, the 33-year-old described QTCinderella as the "Whitest woman" she knows.

During a livestream on October 28, 2025, Valkyrae addressed the situation, stating that the more people talk about what they support or agree with, the more people on the "opposite side" will dislike it.

She elaborated:

"Okay, listen, at the end of the day, I think some people just want me to get off the internet. I also think some people want me to just die. You know? I think some people want a villain. I think I am in that position. You know? Because, obviously, the more you talk about things you align with or agree with, the more people from the opposite side are going to not like that. Okay?"

The co-owner of 100 Thieves then announced her plans to "donate to a lot of charities":

"No matter what, I'm trans rights, gay rights, okay? I'm going to donate to a lot of charities. I have. Also, I think that's another thing, like, people don't know, like, what I have donated to in the past. Like, what I have fundraised for."
