Discord Discussion: Pokemain Steps Away - Let's talk about the pressures that social media puts on us

Join us on Thursday, August 20th from 1-2pm. Pokemain has had a rough year but she isn’t the only content creator that needed to take a step back. Are we putting too much pressure onto our content creators? Is cancel culture being used to attack anyone now for any reason? Are the Keemstars and Leafys just making things worse for others?
