It’s the truth like, people would rather watch a girl in a jacuzzi than watch a gamer girl. For the most part, like that’s just true. So like, why would I shoot myself in the foot; essentially when like things are going really well for me. Because some other girl is going to swoop in, and just be in a jacuzzi everyday.”
