Ninja-Twitter might be the nicest place on Earth

There’s so much love flying around!

Eddy Chen/USA Network

Twitter has a bad rap of being a place where Internet trolls hide in order to dole out unnecessary meanness. But in one little corner of the Twitter-verse, a lovely thing is happening.

Welcome to Ninja-Twitter, where you can emotionally fuel up on love and community support. Case in point, what happened during Monday night’s American Ninja Warrior: Ninja vs Ninja episode.

We first noticed it when we commented on Najee Richardson’s epic ascent of the Zig Zag Climb in his race against Nick Hanson.

Was Nick bitter that he lost? No. He was in awe of Najee.

But then here comes Najee himself, giving love right back to his “opponent.”

Here’s Najee’s teammate, Cassie Craig, showering Zhanique Lovett with praise right after Zhanique beat her in a race.

Then, out of nowhere, Barclay Stockett hops in. She’s not even in this episode!

Yup. Najee had some love for her as well.

Travis Rosen had his team swept by Nick’s Frostbite. Both Ninjas paid each other well-deserved respect.

Us, reading all these Tweets:

Moral of the story: If you ever want to see the very best of sportsmanship and camaraderie, go hang out on a Ninja Warrior’s Twitter.

And, if you haven’t, you need to watch the race between Nick and Najee that kicked off this love-fest.
