Maybe this is why I haven’t played Smash Bros Ultimate on the Switch for almost a few years now, but how come you don’t see this type of sexual abuse in the Tekken/Soul Calibur community? It speaks volumes to me, in my opinion. Watching LTG’s screw ups is mere proof that this so called fighting “community” is just for adults that mentally have not left adolescence.
You do - it's just no one really gives a shit (yet). Soul Calibur in particular isn't a hugely popular game like Street Fighter/Smash and consequently has a much smaller player pool/less tournaments/less locals/etc so there's less chances for this stuff to happen.
Tekken 7 is decently sized, but that's primairly because Street Fighter 4 and 5 are so mediocre. A lot of Tekken's playerbase are existing SF players or ex-SF players that jumped on for Tekken 7 - the actual community that has been around since Tekken 4 is much smaller.
Tekken also has Aris "Harassment is part of the FGC now let me smell your hair" as a pillar of the community.
