"I recognize that there is no context I could give that would excuse what I said. I can only own what I said, and I will." During her April 14 broadcast, the streamer had said she was bothered by viewers who watched for free and claimed they couldn't afford to pay for her subscription. "If you don't have $10, you probably don't have time to watch Twitch, because you should be working," she said.When commenters said that they could only afford to pay for their food and bills, she doubled down. "No one's going to convince me that what I'm saying is so rude, or so unacceptable, or so outrageous. It just simply isn't," she said. Viewers among her 148,000 Twitch followers said <a href="https://twitter.com/TejaFX/status/1251911753300140033">she had tried to "shame" them</a> into giving money. But on Wednesday, she changed her tune. InVaderVie, a 29-year-old from Toronto whose real name is not publicly shared, said the comments were incongruous with what she believes. "The clip that you saw does not represent my true feelings. I've streamed for hundreds of hours and I've said, 'support communities after you support yourself first. Subscribe if you have the disposable income to do so.' But in that clip, I expressed opinions that I do not hold, at all. I said things that I don't mean, and they were vile," she said. Her previous comments had made waves online, as viewers felt she was being insensitive towards the millions worldwide who have lost their jobs due to the coronavirus pandemic. Unemployment rates in the US are <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/economic-outlook-coronavirus-labor-market-unemployment-rapid-recovery-recession-experts-2020-4">approaching Great Depression levels</a>.Influencers and celebrities have found themselves in hot water during the pandemic, as they appear to be increasingly <a href="https://www.insider.com/quarantine-flexing-on-instagram-rich-and-famous-brag-with-backyards-2020-4">out of touch with their fans</a>. The streamer said she now understands that she made a mistake by judging her viewers and their financial situations."What I said was wrong in any context, but especially in the context of a global pandemic. It was very callous and inappropriate," she said. "I know that you've lost jobs. I know that you're afraid for your own security, and I know that what I said was incredibly hurtful and wrong. And I take responsibility for it."<ul class="read-more-links"><li>Read more:</li><li><a href="https://www.insider.com/invadervie-twitch-streamer-video-shames-broke-viewers-into-giving-money-2020-4">Twitch streamer faces backlash for 'shaming' broke viewers while asking for money: 'If you don't have $10, you probably don't have time to watch Twitch, because you should be working'</a></li><li><a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/economic-outlook-imf-global-gdp-shrinkage-coronavirus-too-optimistic-says-2020-4">IMF chief says its forecast that 170 global economies will shrink may be too optimistic</a></li><li><a href="https://www.insider.com/twitch-body-painters-suspension-sparking-discussion-about-misogyny-2020-4">A body painter says she was wrongfully suspended from Twitch for nudity despite the platform's rules providing exceptions for art</a></li><li><a href="https://www.insider.com/ricegum-twitch-ban-abby-rao-break-up-2020-4">Popular YouTuber RiceGum hosted a Twitch livestream that seemingly got him banned for nudity and called out by his ex-girlfriend</a></li></ul>Read the original article on <a href="https://www.insider.com/invadervie-twitch-apology-streamer-tone-deaf-broke-viewers-comments-2020-4">Insider</a>

Viewers can watch certain clips without paying the subscription fee, but InvaderVie argued that anyone should be able to afford the fee and support her in her job as a creator. She said she believed that in any currency, the maximum fee would be $10. "It doesn't matter how broke you are. If you have time to watch Twitch, you have $10," said InvaderVie, whose real name has not been made public. "If you don't have $10, you probably don't have time to watch Twitch, because you should be working, you should be trying to earn money." When someone commented that they were unemployed and all of their money had to go towards necessities like food and shelter, she doubled down, adding that she didn't believe her comments were offensive. "No one's going to convince me that what I'm saying is so rude, or so unacceptable, or so outrageous. It just simply isn't," she said. The streamer, who is 29 and <a href="https://www.twitch.tv/invadervie/">works as a voice-over actress part-time</a> in addition to Twitch, added that $5 or $10 doesn't equate to the cost of a full meal, so she wasn't asking for much, and said that viewers who claim to be too "broke" to subscribe are actually "irresponsible" with their own finances. "What you mean to say is, 'I'm so irresponsible with my money, I can't support the entertainment that I enjoy.'" InvaderVie's comments come on the brink of a <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/economic-outlook-imf-global-gdp-shrinkage-coronavirus-too-optimistic-says-2020-4">worldwide economic crisis</a> due to the coronavirus, as unemployment rates in the US approach <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/03/upshot/coronavirus-jobless-rate-great-depression.html">Great Depression levels</a>.While some viewers commented during the stream that they were also broke and there were "no excuses" for not subscribing to the channel, others complained about the statements in comments on Twitch and on Twitter. Another streamer asked on Twitter if InvaderVie pays for a full subscription to every streamer she watches. Others joked that they were "too irresponsible" to be able to watch the streams. InvaderVie's controversial comments come as influencers and celebrities have faced <a href="https://www.insider.com/quarantine-flexing-on-instagram-rich-and-famous-brag-with-backyards-2020-4">backlash</a> for making out-of-touch posts and gotten <a href="https://www.insider.com/arielle-charnas-faces-backlash-for-behavior-following-covid-19-2020-3">preferential treatment</a> in an environment of heightened need and anxiety.At press time, the streamer did not respond to emails from Insider. <ul class="read-more-links"><li>Read more:</li><li><a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/economic-outlook-imf-global-gdp-shrinkage-coronavirus-too-optimistic-says-2020-4">IMF chief says its forecast that 170 global economies will shrink may be too optimistic</a></li><li><a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/us-weekly-jobless-claims-unemployment-filings-record-labor-market-coronavirus-2020-4">US jobless claims skyrocket to 6.6 million, doubling last week's record, as coronavirus layoffs persist</a></li><li><a href="https://www.insider.com/twitch-body-painters-suspension-sparking-discussion-about-misogyny-2020-4">A body painter says she was wrongfully suspended from Twitch for nudity despite the platform's rules providing exceptions for art</a></li><li><a href="https://www.insider.com/ricegum-twitch-ban-abby-rao-break-up-2020-4">Popular YouTuber RiceGum hosted a Twitch livestream that seemingly got him banned for nudity and called out by his ex-girlfriend</a></li></ul>Read the original article on <a href="https://www.insider.com/invadervie-twitch-streamer-video-shames-broke-viewers-into-giving-money-2020-4">Insider</a>
