Trivia[edit]

  • On September 10th, 2021, a tweet from sponsor Luminosity (which advertised his "Ginger's Smurf Show" netplay series) depicted a Fortnite-esque render of Ginger alongside a Navy sponsorship.[5] The nature of the sponsorship, combined with the "WarHero" pose, have led to Ginger becoming the basis of a running gag depicting him as a war veteran.
