It seems that they were only subscribed for the thrilling experience of not getting uploads on that shit for years :thinking:

Yes.

Thatā€™s a mild way to put it. :rofl:

Well, Iā€™ve defended Wiz before because he did a lot of stuff that made the community better. But now that a lot of this is being aired out, I donā€™t know how much it was him making active decisions or him being put in a position he couldnā€™t fuck up. Iā€™m sure when you hate on Evo or SRK, you got your own beef based on how you feel things should run and all that. But now Iā€™m in a very curious spot where I know decisions that were being made were dumbfucky as all hell (and I think Iā€™ve said as much before); and those decision were made by a guy who got there through what in the fuck type of bullshit I would never cosign or defend.

The guy has sort of always been easy to anger and on a power trip in a lot of places. His reaction to the Aprilā€™s Fool thing was basically his reaction to a lot of shit. One of the mods in GD was basically known for how much shit he had to catch from Wiz on a consistent basis. Not for modding, dude was cool as fuck and we werenā€™t about trying to make his day harder, but still he basically burned out from dealing with Wiz.

It was a prerequisite that if you were GDā€™s mod, you were kinda sorta catch shit from Wiz. Hell you couldnā€™t even really complain to him either. One of the GD guys had his whole page blocked by ads (one giant ad on top, one on the bottom), he @ wiz with a screenshot of it pissed and the first thing Wiz did was ban him on the spot.

Weird aside, Iā€™m pretty disheartened on a few things involving all this. Iā€™ve had a few people who were in the scene tell me that there are a lot of other touchy feely things going in the scene that havenā€™t been spoken about. I never heard of them so Iā€™m pretty fucking mad at anybody who let that shit slide. If you talk shit to a chick like you do a guy, thatā€™s one thing; If you were not checking dudes who were putting hands on peopleā€¦what in the fuck?

A bunch of people where in a position to know or to get whispered about some of this shit. Just had a tell me that in some places Wiz being a Perv was known enough to be a meme. At this point if you arenā€™t Watson or a handful of other, you are looking turbo suspect. Maybe people knew and didnā€™t put 2 and 2 together or some other shit.

Aye, I remember it being more like a meme with no evidence as a way to shit on Wiz, Iā€™m shocked it all has an actual basis.

Oh my God, I canā€™t believe Nintendo itself ditched EVO! :open_mouth:

They have a solid motivation though, one canā€™t deny it.

Thereā€™s physical, sexual, assault and what would be considered ā€œracismā€ now from a couple of your fav top marvel players.

Thereā€™s also a TON and I mean a TON of money mismanagement by your favorite toā€™s. Even a bit of extortion.

Believe me

Hereā€™s what fucks me up. I played M:TG heavily at a store in a town over. Ran by a great guy who basically saw a bunch of guys grow up. The store owner spent 24/7 with kids, took them on trips to tournaments, paid for hotel rooms etc.

At no point did any abuse happen. The worst you got was 9 people sharing two hotel rooms. Thatā€™s multiple trips, multiple tournaments etc. So then WHAT THE FUCK WAS UP WITH THE US SCENE?

Where were all the leaders at laying the law? I literally had ONE person try and pull some bullshit (which had fuck all to do with anything sexual, dude was being a cunt and trying to get me to DQ some people) and I stomped the hell out of that. You mean to tell me that I had more balls as a TO for some local shit than the vast majority of the US scene.

I canā€™t. I donā€™t fucking understand it.

Its gotta be part of this weird goofy fucking psychology mentioned in the Filipinoman post. You canā€™t criticize this people. Some weird ego shit running 24/7 where you just canā€™t say shit to get anything improved. I know of at least one TO who caught a lot of shit from other TOs for just trying to run tournaments better.

So maybe youā€™re right, a lot of OG shit has gotta burn. Itā€™s gonna mean throwing a lot of good/great things with. But maybe the leadership failure is just so extreme that you douse it all with gasoline and start from the ground floor.

Even more confirmation Smash isnā€™t a fighting game. Nintendo get em. :triumph:

Wow Nintendo themselves admit that Smash Ultimate isnā€™t a fighting game! LOL!!

I also did the same with heroclixs which involved kids adults and trips. While a lot of the card, and miniature competitive scenes are SUPER NERDS. A lot if not all had or have girlfriends and actually will hold a conversation with people. At worse we had instances of dudes or chicks cheating but thatā€™s about it.

I think it all goes back to gaming having a lot of social awkward people that donā€™t know how to deal with interactions of other humans and once arcades died things got way way worse.

And I think certain games attract certain types

Marvel had most aggro bunch
SF had the mildest bunch but a lot are misfits.
Tekken has the most non socially awkward bunch
Smash has all the weirdoā€™s
anime has everything (mostly weirdoā€™s)

Remember kids are traveling with kids and grown peopleā€¦ Thatā€™s just not ok truthfully.

When you are a teen and have no money, what youā€™ll do for a 20 even supposedly jokingly is pretty high up there.

The scene should have dudes and chicks room and play separately. People wont like it, but thereā€™s a reason with almost every single sport even ones that can be mixed, arenā€™t.

Majorā€™s need to be 18 or older or you have to an adult with you will in the competing area.

When the community was smaller and evo and majors were like the same 150-200 people being all open was fine.

But if you are hold open tournaments and try to be invite everyone in and keep growing this is just going to keep happening until actually changes are made.

Also someone with a voice needs to be upfront and tell people to use common sense in situations that can lead to bad situations.

Nah, thatā€™s gonna have to be a big :pause_button:

A lot of these stories are coming from the early 2000s. Which means that those same 150 to 200 people were the ones wildinā€™ out.

No ifs/and/or/buts about that whole situation. Dudes were being wack, people mustā€™ve known, wtf happened?

Apparently that Nintendo image is a trollpost from r/kappa.

It was pretty darn believable tho.

Only stuff Iā€™m really seeing from the early 2k is the wiz and cali crew stuff. Most everything else is 2007 or later.

I know people will never go for male/women being separate but itā€™s a risk any other way. Just like other big non gaming eventā€™s world wide.

What other big non gaming event separates spectators/audience by gender???

What risk exactly is there? Degenerates not knowing how to keep their hands off people?

Smfh they donā€™t even separate kids by gender in class setting, but teens and adults? Too much risk.

You can separate by gender as much as youā€™d like and youā€™d still have problems with Wiz being a predatory fuck.

Fucking exactly.

Careful going to that insert large gathering event, someone might diddle your pickle.
