cultural awareness and education about appropriation is incredibly important. having people (especially children) inevitably recreate crip-walking is incredibly dangerous. it's also disrespectful and dangerous not to call the "emote" by its actual name. just weird to add overall. https://t.co/DXLyjPrrTJ

It is legitimately fricking dangerous to show this dance move around to millions of oblivious kids and not tell them the significance of it. Epic might actually get one of those kids beaten up or robbed.

Lmao I learned about c-walking back in the 90's when Doggystyle came out and kids at my high school did it. Even back then there were scolds saying "if an actual gang member sees you do that, they'll kill you." You know how many of them were killed over it? Exactly 0. I also have a bunch of friends who've been photographed doing the "blood" hand symbol over the years while drunk at bars and parties. No Bloods have murdered any of them. This is only a problem if you live somewhere you can't relax.

No shit. The point is that this game is played by millions of kids and at least one of them might unwittingly do this shit in the wrong part of LA and end up having to walk home without their shoes.
Also, they aren't going to outright kill you, they will probably interrogate you and intimidate you about it. Worse case scenario you get knocked out.

Obviously it won't happen in a civilised neighbourhood, but what happens when Timmy does it in front of a negro? You know they can't stop themselves

Timmy will probably get laughed at or warned because they'll assume a white kid is definitely not a gangbanger and doesn't know any better. A suburban brown kid is more likely to be interrogated.

Depending on where you live, it's possible to walk 2 blocks from a nice suburban area and have someone hassle you for wearing the wrong brand of shoes.

You don't have to teach kids the 1000 rules of BIPOC etiquette to maybe prevent them from chimping out. You just have to teach them not to be around BIPOCs

It would be the funniest self-own if Epic's sales stagnate because of an epidemic of their fans getting robbed for their Vbucks money
