Fighting Game Community (FGC) General - The history of FGC drama, general FGC shenanigans, and directory to more eccentric individuals and subcultures within the community

Apparently smash.gg has a pronouns area in it's account/tournament registration where you can put your pronouns to be displayed on your registration. TLDR, this led to a recent event where a couple of players were shown on stream with the pronouns "Negro/Nigga"

Punk is upset on twitter about it. (1/2)
Some people suspect this is the work of some nefarious hacker.

In reality, it was probably just some glitch with their automated overlay since it turns out, there was some other user who actually did set his pronouns to "Negro/Nigga"

An autist friendly Arctic Kitsune, she/they, ASD/ADHD, DemiPan, Leftist, Plural ӨΔ made a long thread detailing what likely happened which led to this, if anyone gives a fuck. (Archive)

The fact that putting pronouns on resumes exist is completely disgusting. However, pissing pronoun fags, autists and jannies with nigga/negro is hilarious.

Just checked into EVO. Already seen what is obviously a man in a dress; surprisingly not grotesque as others, but the bone structure doesn't lie, even while they still wear their Corona mask. Another dude, who looked like an aged out twink in a crop top and denim shorts that were cut to not quite booty shorts level. Saw who I'm pretty sure is Fat Niggy Rammy (not in cosplay)... No furries yet.

Not sure how it can get worse.

As an aside, there's something wrong with the amount of fat girls wearing whore clothes and other shit that shows curves/skin. This isn't a FGC thing, just walking around the casino thing, shit's everywhere.

Friday/Day 1
-Saw Sphere Hunter (Resident Evil tranny) between the SNK and Chipotle booths. I wasn't sure, until someone stopped him for a selfie.

MK11 grand finals was pretty boring. It was a Fujin mirror that went through a full bracket reset. The players pretty much only used 2 strings and zoned the rest of the time. A lot of the big name players like SonicFox didn't even make top 8. It goes to show how boring the game was and the pros that are known for dominating NRS games couldn't even be bothered to stay at a competitive level.

How did niggers let their hobby be taken over by trannies? was it the whores who would pretend to like fighting games so they could cosplay as the characters or do negroids actually like troons?

Any “nerd” space eventually will be flooded with troons. Any space with a sizable group of nerdy/lonely young men actually

e-sports.

When it was a nigger hobby - it was just money matches in a shithole arcade (or a laundromat or music store with a few arcade machines). Dudes getting extremely hype over $5 sets and such. Even "big" tournaments the time didn't exist and someone winning $10,000 in a year was basically unheard of and going "pro" was an insane concept. Every "pro" player had a real job - which was usually adjacent to an arcade (arcade tech, arcade attendant). Every FGC was just a local community because there wasn't much of an online scene to speak of - so who you were able to play was literally decided by who you lived near. Arcades also didn't carry every single machine - so if you wanted to play something specific you would have to hunt down an arcade that had it and kept it in some kind of good condition.

Then esports came along - and with it huge piles of cash. Something like EVO went from "gigantic fucking headache that loses money but is fun" to "gigantic enterprise that prints money" and the same happened across the entire industry. Going "pro" wasn't a pipe dream and it was now extremely common and possible. Not just as a pro player - but companies (Namco, Capcom, sponsors, etc) were hiring players as testers, coaches, consultants, developers, and even designers. Not just players either - you could now be a professional commentator, a professional cosplayer, production engineer, a tournament organizer, you can even start you own tournaments if you wanted. The FGC becoming "serious business" meant a lot of people in the FGC were now getting paid and paid in huge numbers - with some players becoming literal millionaires.

But there's a dark side to esports. I've talked (at length) to what I think it's done to the actual games that get designed around the concept (they're shit) but another major part of is it the money. All of the money is tied to developers and sponsors - who want a certain type of product. That's where you get all of the "diversity" and "inclusion" from and trannies are the "new" token thing to parade around. But there's also a whole lot you can't say - you can't speak ill of trannies, of the sponsors, the products, the games, the venues, the other teams, you can't publicly have the "wrong" political opinions, and so on.

The FGC sold its soul for money - I hope that everyone that thought it was a good idea has to swallow sadness and shame while watching a furry in a fursuit waves around a trans rights flag on the main stage. Some things are worth more than money.

....Regional matchmaking?

SF6 is universally regarded as the best launch version of the entire series. Yeah there are still issues, but how quickly they fixed the Rashid bug does give some hope. Nobody gives a shit about the woke story mode anymore, and so far all the monetization is just for retarded avatar stuff.

If you're talking about the FGC in general, then yeah that's fucked.

SF6 was really good, there were other tournament matches from other games but with so many mirror matches in other finals SF6 stood out on its own. The sheer number of matches that went to final final round were insane.

Bracket:

Angry Bird started on a good note allowing Mena to play out the round where his controller disconnected. Fantastic tournament. Hopefully they can tone down all the ad-breaks and good band playing bad SF6 songs next time.

It is serious business, but in ways consuumers, hipsters, and corpofags will never grasp.

Also, I'm feeling optimistic since Twitch troon Ella Hollywood turned out to be a pedophile groomer who stalks his fanbase and sends out cp on Discord to underage b&. If this doesn't get the FGC to budge, maybe something worse will.
