….that's a ladies weapon. lucky you. It's also pink.yay.
I kinda like it. So shut up.
Pink is literally a color. It has no gender. Calm down.
[I think they're roleplaying in the comments as two different people.] 👀
dont like it use camo
I've always suspected that people often use social media to fake fight with themselves. Lots of internet people are probably the same one person. Even I use different aliases everywhere, but I don't pretend to fight with myself or anything like that.
translucent design is the real update.
Thanks for the quick summary!
