Kyedae, a Valorant content creator diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia, has shared why hateful comments about her cancer don’t phase her after playing so much Valorant.
Kyedae announced she would be starting treatment for Acute Myeloid Leukemia soon. Some members of the community used this opportunity to say hateful things to the content creator.
During her March 10 stream, Kyedae stated that jokes about her cancer don’t phase her because she plays Valorant “8 hours a day.”
“I have seen so many hate comments of people joking about my cancer, literally none of that could phase me. I play this game (Valorant) 8 hours a day,” said Kyedae. “Nothing will phase me, you can literally joke about my death and I don’t give a s**t.”
