Hewwo! We are absolutely not making fun of people with speech impediments! The style of speaking we are using is often referred to as "UwU speak" or "OwO speak." It's commonly associated with internet culture, particularly in fandoms, anime communities, and meme culture. It involves replacing "r" and "l" sounds with "w," and sometimes adding extra letters or emoticons like "uwu" or "owo" to express cuteness or affection. For example, "Hello" becomes "Hewwo~ OwO!"

While the origins of this way of speaking are hard to pinpoint, it was popularized at some point in the 2010s. So, if anyone had a problem with it, it would have been canceled well before your lovely message! We appreciate that you may not know how to have fun, but if you would like to be offended, please take the next good step and give us a good old block, because we aren’t going anywhere :3
