Fortnite pros express frustration at the young age of their audiences Entering the replies on Fortnite pros\/streamers social media posts is almost never for the faint of heart. On Twitter, replies such as \u201clike if you saw this live\u201d or \u201cDon\u2019t know about that one, Chief\u201d span as far as the eye can see. Those replies are an expected part of being in a game with a fan base as diverse in age ranges as Fortnite is, but some pros are starting to get frustrated. Luminosity Gaming\u2019s SypherPK brought up some common responses on his Instagram that annoy him, and point to the young age of the commenter. Trying to read my Instagram comments and every other comment is.. \u201cName a better console player than me, I\u2019ll wait :drooling_face:\u201d \u201cAre we going to ignore the fact that I\u2019m better than all of you, check out my clips :triumph::pray: :100: \u201c \u201c6 year old Fortnite pro just trying to get recognized :raised_hands::skin-tone-3:\u201d \u2014 LG SypherPK (@SypherPK) November 4, 2018 SypherPK\u2019s frustration struck a chord with many Fortnite pros. DrLupo, Nickmercs and Dakatoz all responded to the post in different ways. So you’re going by “”SypherPK”” now nerd? Haha whats up douche bag, it’s Tanner from Highschool. Remember me? Me and the guys used to give you a hard time in school. Sorry you were just an easy target lol. I can see not much has changed. Remember Sarah the girl you had a crush on? \u2014 DrLupo (@DrLupoOnTwitch) November 4, 2018 Lmfao bro facts who the fuck taught them this shit it\u2019s so weird :joyful: \u2014 100T Nickmercs (@NICKMERCS) November 4, 2018 While these players don\u2019t specifically call out their audience for being young, they don\u2019t deny the sentiments of SypherPK\u2019s original Tweet. Fortnite pros recognize that their audience often contains players from under ten years old to over thirty, and their content has to reflect that. When Ninja began to take off, he made sweeping changes to his style of content. He stopped swearing and age-inappropriate jokes to be accessible to a wide audience. It\u2019s worked for him, and his comment sections have faltered for it, but that\u2019s a trade he would surely make again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
