Incels are having a mental breakdown over a trans woman winning Milk Cup 2025

You know, that tournament no incel was gonna watch anyway.

The Milk Cup 2025 wrapped up over the weekend, the largest all-female Fortnite tournament with a $300K prize pool. The winners were long-time competitors Nina and Vader, who appeared quite emotional on stage while holding up the trophy.

I attended the Milk Cup and interviewed all of the top competitors, including Nina and Vader. There was plenty of talk of all the women being close friends when they weren’t competing. Vader even mentioned one woman helping her with her hair before the Championship at TwitchCon.

This must be refreshing for Vader, who also told me she faced a lot of judgement, harassment, and toxicity when she first got into competitive Fortnite. She was treated differently to the point where she couldn’t comfortably give it her best. That’s why she joined the Milk Cup, where all the women embraced her and she was able to feel safe and perform to her best abilities.

Of course, leave it to incels to try and tell these women how they should all be feeling about Vader.

Incels are one of the reasons that Vader won the Milk Cup

While the women taking part in the Milk Cup were happy for Vader, incels on X don’t think women are intelligent enough to be trusted with their own feelings and thoughts. They shouldn’t be happy about Vader – they should be mad. Why? Because she’s a trans woman.

You see, men don’t mind that women are shunned from mainstream esports. They don’t mind that big all-female circuits are being shut down and that women are harassed until they leave the mixed-gender events as well. They don’t care about women’s esports. Well, until a trans woman is involved. Now they are the BIGGEST advocates of women’s esports you’ll ever see!

I won’t repeat the disturbing and pathetic nonsense that the incels are spewing all over X. But I can tell you that it’s on the same level of unhinged as J. K. Rowling. The general concensus amongst incels is that men should all pretend to be women so they can enter all-female tournaments and win. Then they keep arguing that men are “better at everything” than women, including the all-important skill of Fortnite.

Of course, this logic is quite flawed since Vader identifies as a woman and is a woman. Not anywhere near the same.

Let’s be real – these men do not care about women at all, especially women in esports. These men would harass and abuse Vader and other women until the end of time just to get them to compete seperately (or quit altogether). But then these women are given safe spaces to compete and men complain about this as well.

It’s a sick response to a bunch of young women celebrating a sucessful tournament. To seeing Vader crying with joy on stage. To seeing her competitors all hug her, support her, and be happy for her.

You can’t tell these women what to think. They don’t want to be exhausted from blind hate like you. This event exists so they can get away from you. You are the reason the Milk Cup exists. You are the reason Vader won the Milk Cup.

“Winning the Milk Cup shows that you can be your true self and not be apologetic about it,” Vader said in a press panel. “There are spaces for everybody. Never give up.”

Vader has stated to me, however, that she plans to compete in the Fortnite Championship Series now that her confidence has been building. Milk Cup gave her the space to really grow her skill and feel more comfortable in herself. I expect all of these incels to be nice to her as she competes in the FNCS, since this is what they wanted.

It must be reitered that incels do not truly care about women’s esports, nor women. In fact, they believe that women are too stupid to know how they should feel and the disrespect is blatant. Women are their pawn to spread their transphobic nonsense, pretending women are in some sort of danger in hopes of winning the public over with their blatant hate.

The thing is, we all love Vader. And we all love that she won. Love is what has made women so powerful. We’re all happy over here. You keep whining and moaning though. Have fun with your self-enforced loneliness epidemic.
