So yeah, VALORANT dropped a tweet that’s just… well, let’s just say people really are talking about it. The account tweeted the fairly cryptic, “omg haha that ‘I said stop.’ tickles stop!” with zero context. And the internet had an immediate and relentless field day. The replies? Straight-up madness. Some fans love it, some are roasting it, some are just confused-a good mix really. Such is Twitter now.
I mean, the tweet is a vibe in itself. Strange spacing, random big and dramatic “I said stop” just chilling there… No explanation. No follow-up. Just vibes. And, of course, the whole VALORANT community came pouring in. User @Xcr33pr summed the whole mood perfectly by sharing a dramatic reenactment of the situation: “omg haha that tickles stop” followed by “I said stop.” Yeah, that’s the energy.
Meme-makers arrived. @C9VAL comes in with, “this tweet is back like it never left,” which honestly, seems so accurate. The VALORANT social media team is perpetually in trouble with recycling jokes, and the fandom just won’t let them forget. @elotraSenpai decided to come at it bluntly: “how many times yall gon tweet this.” Fair question, seriously.
But quite a few, actually quite many people, were not feeling it. @LeTripleDouble called it “cringe af,” and @junolockedin came back with, “This game isn’t dead yet?” Ouch. Meanwhile, @cookedtimeline looked at the attached image (which, may I add, features an intriguing Clove) and said, “this clove pic is so cursed why do they look like that.” Can’t argue with that.
Then come these random side convos that always seem to pop up. @NakasGone and @iluvseokmat went at it in Portuguese with one saying something to the extent of, “always focus her but love her,” whereas the other retorted, “MINHA MAE” (which literally means “my mom”). No context. Just vibes. Finally, @izanagirise makes an appearance with the almost universal ask: “can I get a free skin.” Same, brother. Same.
Some curious theories arose out of this tweet. @ta24041653ta came back with “A system that pairs the weak,” which, okay? Deep? Or just random? Hard to say. And @sollnikhil invoked @westjett1 like casting a spell. VALORANT-Twitter is a wild place, y’all.
Quite frankly, this tweet is one of those untethered, confusing, yet somehow iconic VALORANT social media extravaganzas. Whichever side of the fence you might be on, one thing for sure is that you cannot ignore it. You know what? That very fact is probably the point here. The game is still very much alive; the memes are endless; the community is a bit…wild. So if you ask me, VALORANT, keep doing…whatever this is. We are all here for it.
Oh! And if anyone from Riot is reading this: @izanagirise really wants a free skin. Just saying.
