Ninja on Why He Isn't Cursing Anymore: Swearing Doesn't Make Someone A Person

Like many players who partake in competitive multiplayer games on a regular basis, Tyler "Ninja" Belvins has had his fair share of rage moments that have included the use of swear words. 

However, with his immense rise in popularity over recent months into becoming the most popular content creator on Twitch and YouTube in the world, Ninja has made the decision to stop swearing during his streams in order to be more friendly for younger viewers and create an environment that allows everyone to enjoy his stream. 

Unfortunately, some members of the community do not approve of Ninja changing his ways and claim that the streamer has changed. During one of his recent streams, Ninja responded to his critics regarding his decision to stop swearing on his stream. 

"Raging and all of that stuff to me at the time, I thought that was the funny thing to do. I still rage," said Ninja. "Swearing doesn't make someone a person. Just because I have done something to clean up my stream, people are like 'Ninja has changed'. Dude, I want as many people to enjoy the stream as possible, and all I have to do is stop swearing? Sounds good to me. It's also just the right thing to do. When I go to other streams and hear the F-bomb every other word in a sentence is just eh." 

With Fortnite being extremely popular with a younger generation of players, Ninja is looking to make sure that fans of the game are able to watch content from the most popular personality and player the battle royale title from Epic Games has to offer. 

Ninja sees that he is now someone that many a very large amount of people look up to and has moved forward with the positive decision to make his stream and other pieces of content as friendly to fans of all age groups.
