Not going to lie...
If I was on that stage competing for money in Tekken and they put paint on me. I'd drop all those skinny dorks in a second.
I would have turned into Byran Fury IRL

These performative protests are more of a nuisance to the average person than to the companies they're protesting about. It's so annoying to see it.
I know what they look like, both peaceful and full on America mode but this is just... so counterintuitive
On the website, they have a video of the audience. They went from "Is this a surprise?" to ready to jump the protestors.
Eldast is willing to break kneecaps, confirmed
I mean, I could see Eldast fight them if I was in finals and this happens.
Hell, he would need to pull me off xD
☕💪🏻
Alright, I am going back to my video games.
