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

Tanner Glass said:
The entire FGC is cancelleable, basically.

Long story short - the FGC of the 1990s to the early 2010s was fucking rowdy and a lot of bad behavior from it that was common, normal, and expected. Virtually every FGC person alive basically carried this mentality into 2020. Many of these people went on to be larger parts of the FGC as well - commentators, developers, tournament/venue owners, etc.

Specifically the mantra was "Harassment is part of the FGC" - you would be called faggot/kike/bitch/tranny on the regular - Nigger was super common, but most white people avoided it. Trash talk was super common. Most of the FGC was broke so there was a lot of hustling/swindling going on - it was super common to steal tokens from arcades instead of buying them. Money Matches were common as were the IRL fist fights that frequently followed. It was not a place where girls were commonly welcome or flourished. Much of it was recorded and streamed - as this was the "birth" of e-sports.

There's no way there aren't hundreds of "cancel" worthy stories out there - there's virtually no chance if someone is "prominent" in the FGC that there are't 15+ stories/vidoes/etc of them doing shit that will get them cancelled in 2020. I'd also be shocked if previous incidents that got thrown to the side don't make their way back into the spotlight.

Oh, I can definitely see the old Aris Cross Assault stuff getting dug back up again.

Not because Aris has got more problematic or whatever, just because everyone fucking hates Aris subs shitting up Tekken tourney streams

For the record, Watson has had beef with McRibs for a long time and has said a lot of shit about him over the years. Here's a clip of him making claims about Wiz years ago (archive pls)

They're both assholes. No doubt about it but what Watson say's is most likely true.

I am just fucking amazed that all this shit started because of fucking Low Tier God of all fucking people... It wasn't the drama with Infiltration. It wasn't Kuroda being a pedophile. It wasn't the years upon years of corruption and favoritism prominent in the tourney scenes and Evo especially. It was fucking LTG. Incredible.

Plot twist: It wasn't Marxist that were behind cancel culture. It was DSP who created it in order to pave the way for his return to the FGC. Anyone who could beat him will end up being canceled.

After everyone's been cancelled, DSP will finally be able to outdo his 4th pla- I mean TOP NORTH AMERICAN RANK and crown himself the king of kings of the FGC ACK ACK ACK!

Does Nairo's cancelling have concrete proof of him doing it? His apology tweet is just filled with progressive people essentially saying "go fuck yourself".

Wait, but it says Zack initiated the relationship and said it was consensual? Little shit should be in just as much shit as Nairo is for getting into a statutory rape relationship.
