Tencent collaborated with Snoop Dogg for Fortnite, officially adding the 'C-Walk' as a dance, a notorious gang sign for the Crips.

I'm looking forward to 10 year old White boys doing this in broad daylight, and seeing Twitter flip their shit 🍿

It hasn't been a notorious gang sign since the early 2000s. It was already main stream with white kids doing it over 20 years ago.

This dance makes me imagine Crips and Bloods dancing at each other like in West Side Story.

Did Tencent actually collaborate with SD or was it Epic?

What do you think lol, these journalists aren't worth shit. They just write slop all day.

Is this the same dance as shuffling or is that somehow minutely different?

DarkThoughts@fedia.io · 4 pts · 1y (1 reply)

Nope. Completely different continent even. Shuffling originates from Melbourne, Australia - hence the original name "Melbourne Shuffle". It was usually danced to hardstyle music before a certain pop song popularized a very toned down version for the mainstream audiences.

why would they get shot? by whom?

By rival gangs

People are doing way more disrespectful shit nowadays and nothing happens.

AceSLS@ani.social · -10 pts · 1y

This has nothing to do with respect. I'm just thinking sooner or later someone from a rival gang will see a kid doing this and afterwards shit will hit the fan

That’s definitely not how that works

You sound like you’re shaking your fists while sitting on your porch
