My reaction to you dorks saying you’re gonna switch your game to a different language now: 😂
I’m not deleting my tweets either. Seeing the huge response- both hateful AND positive, means that I struck a chord. I’m done being silent.
It’s 2024. We can all do better.
Ọlọrun Is the supreme Yoruba deity. You could find that with a quick Google search, even.
This is unforgivable. Look at what a sick job SMITE did with their own interpretation!!! IT’S NOT HARD!!!
The fact this has 9k likes is fucking wild
You are very very kind- It’s not often, but today I needed that confidence boost 🥲❤️
I’ll keep being cute for you all 🫡
“It’s just a video game, why does it matter?”

Like sure technically Mexico is in America, but I know they mean USA when they say that.
Of course I’m going to be loud about this. I’m an immigrant of color. My first language is Spanish.
