    Old man yells at cloud time: I feel like naming yourself “Ninja” is something a 7 year old would do. I can’t take it seriously. It’s like naming your BG3 rogue “Assassin” or your music group “Guitarists”.

    But also I stay away from all influencers, so I don’t know what’s going on in that world.

      naming yourself like a 7 year old is a good way to be popular as a streamer of a game 7 year olds play

      I mean, it’s not an influencer thing, it’s a common sense thing. His username on twitch used to be NinjasHyper. Common sense dictates that this is a fairly normal username because of the nature of usernames. Common sense also dictates that when addressing someone who you only know by the internet moniker of “NinjasHyper”, you’re going to call them Ninja or Hyper.

      What about band/musician names? Isn’t calling yourself The Boss, or Satchmo, or Hootie and the Blowfish, Toad the Wet Sprocket, Led Zeppelin “unserious”

      And secondly why is being silly bad?
