The professional Fortnite player Voidd publicly criticized his parents on Twitter and promptly received a public reprimand from his mother. This amuses the fans.
Who is he?
- The Fortnite player George “Voidd” N. is an eSports professional for the team “Lootboy”; he is English. According to a ranking he posted himself, he was number 59 in Europe and number 6 in England in 2021 regarding the best Fortnite players.
- According to statistics from the site esportsearning, voidd has earned around €4,300 in prize money with Fortnite. He has placed around 20th in some events. The eSports scene of Fortnite has not been as lucrative in 2022 as during the heyday of Bugha and Tfue three years ago.
- Like many eSports players, Voidd is active on social media. He posts on Instagram, YouTube, Twitch, and Twitter and tries to increase his reach there.
Mother reprimands whining son publicly on Twitter
That was the argument with his mother: The eSports journalist Jake Lucky documented the scene for posterity.
The professional tweeted: If you have parents who support you, you should not take that for granted. It is so bad to be stuck with a “demotivating father” who “does not support” you.
Then the professional’s mother spoke up and reprimanded him:
“It is not acceptable to insult your parents just because they tell you that you cannot stay up until 3 a.m. if you have school the next day. That is not ‘unsupportive’; that is simply being a parent.”
Shortly after, the mother tweeted: “And now I’m blocked!”
Why is this a defeat for the professional? The embarrassing part in this case: The mother’s tweet received more than twice as many likes as the professional’s complaint. This is called a ratio.
Apparently, Twitter users clearly saw Mama Voidd as being in the right. It is understandable that the boy should be in bed by 3 a.m. if he has school the next day.
In the comments, there is certainly a lot of laughter about the situation. One Twitter user says that if you receive a ratio from your own mother on Twitter, it is time to reconsider your own life.
This is what it can look like when mom fully supports her son in becoming a professional Fortnite player, as we know from Benjifishy:
