Ever since I started placing well at tournaments, I have been having to deal with hate, insults, people mocking me for different reasons, receiving jokes or mean comments in person or even people coming to my streams only to insult me, and many other things that I’ve had to deal with and try to “ignore” as many would suggest.
The reality is, ignoring sometimes isn’t enough. I’ve started blocking people a while ago to try to have this less on my twitter feed. Regardless, this is still a frecuente occurrence.
I must admit some of my posts sometimes come out as cringe or are just material for people to laugh at me. I’m sorry if I’ve said stuff that offends anyone. I don’t know if this is the reason as to why I receive so much hate. And if you wanna tell me it is because of the character I play and because of the way I play, I legitimately couldn’t care less about it. I play to win, I play to try and be the best at every tournament I compete. If I have to play aggressively, if I have to be defensively, if I have to timeout or whatever, I WILL do it and I don’t care if receive hate for it. I care when the hate gets to me as a person and people start associating my play to my person.
Due to all of this, I have decided to STOP using twitter for posting memes, opinions or whatever since everything I post seems to get me more and more hate, to the point where I don’t know what’s good or bad anymore to tweet or say. I always have to be double thinking what I’m about to post because I don’t want to offend anyone or hurt their feelings.
I am only going to be using this platform for posting my stream, YouTube videos, and maaaybe clips and random things like me going out with my family on vacation or going out to eat with my girlfriend and/or friends. But no more “funny posts”, no more controversial things or “hot takes” or whatever. I don’t want to generate controversy anymore when I tweet something. I must admit some of them were my fault, and for that same reason I wanna change the way I say things.
I recently tweeted how I want people to smile and laugh when they watch my content, to be the best at the game is my main focus, and I want people to enjoy my gameplay. I don’t care if I Main GnW and that could be seen as something boring, I LOVE the character since I’ve been using him since I was a kid. I will find a way for people to enjoy my content without me having to change my play style or my character. I’m NOT changing who I am by any means, I’m only trying to improve in areas where I’m doing things wrong like what I previously mentioned with how I say things etc.
I wanna be the best, and I want to receive less hate. I’ve been holding this for a while but it’s been to much lately. Dude, I even got hate from a WIFI tournament...
To all of those supporting me out there, thank you, really, from the very bottom of my heart. Every time I have to deal with all of this I look back at your comments or DMs that I get because they make me feel so much better and they let me know that even though haters might be louder sometimes, there are still A LOT of people out there who support me. You guys motivate me to keep going regardless of how bad things can be sometimes.
Thank you, to every single one of you from the Flat Gang, and to anyone out there who supports me, you are amazing, and I’ll keep working hard to make everything better.
