A Litany of Hate: In Defense of the FGC

He’s going to sound just as amazing, because all of Yipe’s wit is genuine and none of it has anything to do with offending people.

Wait till Final Round. The tourney has Seeding Points IIRC.

Southern People dont slouch on the cursing and ruthless trash talk hella East Coast people heading down there too.

Better not do SHIT to Spooky. Final Round, Big Two, & Etc.

I find it hilarious, you’re showing support for Marn. When he’s a humongous piece of shit and is pretty much everything people here have been arguing the FGC needs to stop.

The trash talking and cursing shouldn’t change or be impacted by this. I hope that the outsiders who are watching know that there is no ill will at all.

I see it going 1 of 2 ways.

1.) Everyone is suddenly more respectful and somber while still bringing the hype. F-bombs will be dropped but no more N-bombs or sexist remarks.

or

2.) They think they’re cool and rebel and go all out being racist and sexist…and then EVO Organizers say they want nothing to do with color commentary and won’t have sp00ky stream EVO.

How fitting that Street Fighter x Tekken comes out soon. Lets see who crosses the line so to speak. Who’s willing to be the guinea pig ?

Or you could, you know, enjoy the actual gameplay.

There are plenty of people commentating streams already who I find absolutely unbearable (for example, Chen and Spooky). I find, magically, that the matches are still really fun to watch with the sound off.

Is this about the clowny peronsalities, or is it about the goddamn games?

there. that’s why marn isn’t a good guy.

I have to admit, some of the better personalities make a boring match more fun to watch. TastySteve is hilarious with the references he makes, he’s basically a 90s kid like a lot of us. AquaSilk and Chris Hu are just too funny together. Some of the stuff they say just simultaneously clashes and works, like Chris would say talk about something they do in China and Aqua would have to sit there dumbfounded. Its easy to watch and listen, you are not gonna take a gold mine of knowledge out of every match, but you can at least have fun with it.

Bingo. I don’t remember hearing a single “nigga” “slut” “whore” in this commentary. FallingEdge, you’re telling me this is boring as fuck? Because I was jumping out of my damn seat watching this stream last year. Even if the commentary did have those words in it, thats definitely not what brought the hype.

BIONIC MARNN!!!

If this community wants to grow then maybe throwing a few childish assholes like Aris and Marn under the bus isn’t such a bad idea. The fact remains that regardless of where you stand, the FGC has been forever damaged and I don’t think there is enough willpower to agree or figure out how we can repair the damage.

Truthfully, the FGC lost its way when it became more about being a celebrity than winning at the games themselves. Maybe its time for the community to grow up, get its focus to where it needs to be and go from there.

As for the situation with WNF, I’m conflicted because they should have known that ugly troll Marn would say something stupid or there was a chance of it and I don’t feel sorry for them in that aspect but the same time, LevelUp has done so much for the community that it sucks to see them get punished like that. Maybe a warning would have been more appropriate but after the last 48 hours, maybe I don’t blame SRK.

The problem is more saying that it’ll be the ruination of everything for some places to be cleaned up. Good matches are still fun to watch.

Yeah the good commentators can add to the experience, but boring commentators don’t ruin it. Anyways, like with most things there’s a good middle ground somwhere with this.

I hope this kills off the FGC. It needs to die.

UMVC3’s HUD made me think Sentinel was coming out in the first match after Combofiend’s She Hulk killed Marn’s Magneto.

Lol I am just gonna watch the community kill itself now. Do bad people exist? The whole community is responsible.

Seriously, i really don’t give a fuck about what they are saying unless it negativly impacts us… but now i give a fuck becuase of inkblots response. Really? Now we are just gonna let the media buttfuck us now? What Marn said was light though. Yaa niggas is soft, word to.

Weak So Weak

There is an underlying problem though, and it’s good to see it get stamped down.

Well with eSports we can objectify women.

Somebody else doing something objectionable doesn’t make what we’ve done alright. I’m sure there’s some fancy ‘logical fallacy’ name for that argument, but I’m too lazy to look it up.

what will happen is it will split the community in 2. If srk becomes heavily modded then a new forum will arise like the old. for the family fun wii audience there will be ultra chen and give rise to shows like dr subzero for the hardcore… The line has been drawn in the sand… and it can grow!!! Bothsides

This separation might be whats needed for bothsides so it does not die !!! srk wii version and something new for the other 50% that are not lookng for a wii sports experience
