Kathleen Belsten (born 22 February 1993), better known by her online alias Loserfruit, is an Australian Twitch live streamer, YouTuber, professional gamer, and internet personality.[6] She has the second-most followed channel on Twitch among female gamers, behind only Pokimane.[7] She posts Let's Play gaming videos on her main YouTube channel Loserfruit, vlogs on her second channel Lufu, and additional gaming videos on her third channel Loserfruit Daily. Her main YouTube channel has 3.32 millions subscribers while her vlog channel Lufu has 808 thousand subscribers (as of April, 2021).

Belsten specializes in the Fortnite battle royale game and its variants, and was the second streamer to receive their own Fortnite skin as part of the Fortnite Icon Series, after Ninja.[8] She was one of the leading streamers to compete in the inaugural Fortnite Summer Smash tournament to be hosted at the Australian Open in 2019, and attended the second edition in 2020 as well.[9][10][11] Belsten is sponsored by the elf cosmetics brand and the Gymshark fitness apparel brand.[7]

Belsten started her YouTube and Twitch channels by streaming League of Legends. She then moved to Overwatch before moving to more Fortnite-based content in the end of 2017.

Belsten was a member of Click, a since-disbanded group of Australian YouTubers who collaborated on videos that also included LazarBeam, Muselk, Crayator, Bazza Gazza, Tannar, and Prestige Clips. She led a 36 hour-long charity stream in January 2020 with Crayator and Fasffy that raised A$300,000 for the Australian bushfire relief effort, in which many other members and friends of Click also participated.[12][13]
