this is 100% real. mfs who call N4rrate, Marshal are weird. That's just an example. I think it's a problem with a lot of SEN fans ngl 😬

Whichever is easier its just a name and it doesn’t mean you know them personally only if you knew their name also some ig names are just too hard to write/ pronounce

But it's weird to call Jinggg as jj or forsaken as jason. Like I see only their close friends call them like that so it'd be weird for me (a random person) to call them by their nicknames/original names

I think it really depends on the player. In jinggg's/forsaken's case, I don't think they mind it. I even see Jinggg's mom interact with tweets mentioning jj.

never really a big deal. its like calling the rock dwayne johnson. i call forsaken and jinggg by their first names all the time when im in a vc with friends. same with s0m, fns, and others. obviously irl you would be dependent the situation and stuff, but idt its a big deal.

If your uncomfortable with people calling you by your name, I find that quite odd. Thats the whole point of a name.

no thats not the issue, its the fans, the fans say that other people should call them by the ign and not their irl name
