Ninja fires back at viewers demanding the return of \u2018Old Ninja\u2019 Twitch streamer Tyler \u2018Fortnite, there was a lot more that went into the equation. During his meteoric rise to the top of Twitch, Ninja operated with the gamertag \u2018NinjasHyper\u2019 on Fortnite and thousands of viewers fell in love with his style of commentary and gameplay. Ninja made the change to continue growing When Ninja decided to make the switch to family-friendly streams he ruffled a lot of feathers but explained it was the right business decision to make at the time and still backs up that decision, even about a year later. He argues the things he said as \u2018Old Ninja\u2019 wouldn\u2019t work with him being in the mainstream and he would have been shredded. \u201cThe things that I did and the things I don\u2019t say anymore and the majority of my streams being family friendly, that was for the gaming community,\u201d he said. \u201cDo you think anything I said when I was 21 and vulgar would fly in news and on television in mainstream? No, they didn\u2019t, they wouldn\u2019t.\u201d Ninja explains that he still does want to swear on streams, which is why he has his \u2018Ninja After Dark\u2019 streams where he loosens up his restrictions, but moved away from it because of the kids that watch him and not the critics. Other streamers wouldn\u2019t survive the mainstream With that said, he says if you put any other gamer in his position at the peak of Fortnite but had them talk the way they currently talk the media would have destroyed them. \u201cPut any other gamer, any other streamer who talks the way they talk, swears the way they swear, and says the things they say and put them in mainstream media,\u201d he said. \u201cDo you think that news networks and social media accounts wouldn\u2019t have torn them down.\u201d With all this said, it looks like those hoping for the return of old Ninja will still have a long time to wait.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
