see, something is wrong with people on srk sometimes, because i have no idea how people that dont know me, can get so upset over me saying i dont want to shake hands. but anyways, i was watching the justin wong interview with dogface, and they talked about when kuroda just walked away when he went to shake his hand. so i was like, i wonder what the general consensus on this is, because i see so many half ass hand shakes on streams, and at last years evo. i was like, do people even like doing that, or are they just doing it to do it, because they are following what other people are doing, rather then just doing what they WANT to do. we see a lot more following in the fighting game community then anything else, because its easier to follow and not deal with the hassle of shit like what was posted in this thread, then to say how you feel, or do how you feel.
people are in la la land if they think every competitive scene doesnt have its different type of players. you think everyone in the nba, nfl, mlb, wants to always be so courteous? of course not, and it fucking shows from time to time. im sure if teams had options to sometimes just walk the fuck off after a game, they would do it sometimes, but there is a whole other beast behind the scenes that dictates that from happening. a beast that is not within the competitive gaming scene, which is nice, because it allows us to express ourselves freely however we like. if we wanna blab a little while beating someone down, there is no one to pull a red flag, you just have to suck it up, and keep focused. anyone here raging ever wonder why no tournament bans shit like shit talking, and general hype, because that is the scene, its gonna happen. that is the beauty and freedom of it. if i want to get up after a match, unplug, and walk away, i can do that, and i dont need to worry about being dq’d for bad behavior, or penalized in any way.
threads will always take odd turns when a couple negative people want to come in and rage ultra hard over nothing, and declare their word the ultimate word, which is not something i did at all. all i did was pose a question because i was curious. some threads on srk are made to inform, others are straight up useless, and some are just purely out of curiosity. mine was out of curiosity. i was wondering how people would feel for someone to get up and bounce on them, or shake their hand, and which did people like or dislike. if anything it gave someone some good info who hasnt been around the community long. they can see this thread, and be like, i was wondering that too, and the poll shows that so far people like to shake before or after.
the fact that you say something like my thread seems to be begging for attention, and pisses you off, is completely fucking retarded. im sorry. something obviously is wrong with you, if you cant be like, nah, i disagree with him, ill vote to shake before or after, and just move on. what is wrong with you personally inside that makes you read probably only some of what i posted, and be like, who the fuck does this guy think he is asking questions like this on my forum. no, seriously though.
im not proving anything to anybody. i mean, do i need to make cliff notes for people of what i posted. i didnt come in here saying, i dont like to shake hands, and you shouldnt either, its fucking dumb. i came in and said how i feel about hand shaking, made a poll out of curiosity, and that was that. it was others who had to pull out their usual wannabe srk thug shit, and start calling me names, and talking bout they gonna spit on me and crazy talk that will never ever happen in real life. never. thats why i didnt post much about some of the rage directed towards me. it was more entertaining to see people be total hypocrites.
its understandable, people cannot agree to disagree, especially on srk, but i didnt make it to get any attention. attention from who? a bunch of randoms i dont know. do you think im behind my computer screen jerking off to replies, and feeling important? but it doesnt matter, ignorance is bliss on srk, we know that. its easier to assume shit about someone, and lash out in typical “cool” internet fashion, then to just, i dont know, chill the fuck out, and act normal. lol
take time to reread the thread. i didnt attack anyone of gate. hell, let me reread it, because even the people i replied too, i didnt go off with blind red rage like they did on me.
the end game of the thread was to see what the general consensus was on handshaking, from the replies to the poll. at least for anyone that read, they will know i dont want to shake their hand at said tourney, so when my name is called, plug in your controller, and lets get it on. no one here is gonna act all crazy like their posting when it comes to someone like me who doesnt want to shake their hand before or after, so i dont know why they getting so hype. its not like i said i hate everyone who shakes hands, and im gonna talk shit and disrespect you during our match. i just wanna plug and play, then move on. people should actually read what i posted. more insecure people here then anything else.
would you like me to pm you what im wearing each day during evo?
