dude he wasnt just joking, he took things way too far and then had the gall to say that that is what the scene is all about.
when somebody pushes and pokes and prods and continues to harrass somebody til breaking point and then that person gets upset and the offender just turns around and says
“Whoa, chill out man! im JUST kidding around, no need to bite my head off”
they are not joking around, they are just a fucking dick.
seriously stop trying to stick up for the guy cos it makes you look like one of those people as well.
It sounded like sarcasm to me. People have always been using the definition of beat up for rape in the FGC so when he was confronted about its usage he sarcastically said that the community was about sexual harassment when in reality it IS NOT. Although there are some people in the community that you shouldn’t let your daughter go near…
I still stand by what I said. People get offended too easily. What’s next? You won’t be allowed to say “shot” when using a projectile type character? Or maybe you won’t be able to say the term “beat up” either because it may be interpreted as promoting bullying. :shake:
Capcom did what it had to do as a company.
Anyways, I’m too old and don’t really care what happens anymore. I didn’t even play FGs competitively post 2002. I mostly played in the 90s and it was awesome and most of you will never experience the hype that fighting games truly are and you have yourselves to blame.
This is you not knowing where to draw the line, very weak logic dude and you make you and the rest of your community look terrible. Smack talk all you want, lay off gender, race, sexuality, religion, weight, rape. If you can’t come up with insults that exclude that kind of stuff you need to crack open a dictionary and work on your vocabulary combos bro.
And for those of you that think the FGC is an excuse to be an asshole,NO. Just because you escape your girlfriend, parents, boss, teachers for a bit in this setting does not give you a license to be a dickward because other people will still have to put up with your shit.
Even as sarcasm or a joke (which again, lame excuses that people use to dodge responsibility for what they said), what Aris said was absolutely wrong, and totally unacceptable.
Just admit that. That’s all I’m asking at this point.
how many people do you know who got banned from xbox live for what they said over the mic? no one talks to each other online anyway. party chat yes. talk to total strangers while playing online? not really.
Personally, I’d find the bolded more offensive than anything else you could say about my race/gender/orientation/etc. because this would imply that I’m stupid.
I’d rather you called me the N-word than to call me an idiot.
I already said what I said and I’m not going to change my stance if you beg me and I’m not going to reply to insults directed at me and this is my last post in this thread for at least a week.
If you want to read more posts by me then just reread my previous post until you’re satisfied.
Just so you know, I don’t have anything against you or your opinions on Skullgirls, but I couldn’t resist. Opportunity was too good, I’m sure you can understand.
Apologies aren’t an undo button, they are an acknowledgement of fucking up.
And what did the media vultures prove? The FGC, much like real life, has some assholes in it?
Because I’ve had some bad experiences with racist white people doesn’t make all white people racist, what’s different here? Me being intelligent enough to recognize that?
What is different is your being man enough not to feel compelled to run it back at them so hard, the exact same way, that you yourself become a hateful, prejudiced asshole.
A hateful, prejudiced asshole hiding behind a very flimsy first cause excuse.
Shame, that.
The world could do for having more people like you.
Calling the guy an idiot isn’t going to change the factual observation he’s made regarding an aspect of the human condition - we’re inclined to generalize with little information. If a community of people; with cohesion and an agenda, have any sense of tact, they’ll keep this in mind when trying to accomplish goals that involve - and especially depend - on interactions with other communities of people. Perception is reality, as they say.
