Yeah, except it’s being used to make the entire FGC look bad.
Except that most if it is true because the info is taken directly from the archived streams.
People are making themselves look bad because they keep defending Aris and saying what he did was ok. The FGC needs to separate themselves from these fools ASAP if they want to avoid backlash.
Also to quote Aris: “Sexual harassment is part of the FGC.” I’m sorry since when? I had no idea I had to be a perv to play Street Fighter.
I am loling so hard right now. The amount of extremists on both sides is ridiculous. You have the hardcore FGC guys on one side telling her it’s her fault if she got harassed, and on the other side, the “feminist and human sexuality experts” pushing all the blame on Aris as if he raped her.
Sexual harassment is a strong word, AFAIK, nothing sexual so to speak was requested by Aris. This is just a case of someone who couldn’t speak up for herself and let the situation escalate, and on the other side someone who took something which seemed to him sort of like a joke probably much further than it should ever have gone. Add in the mix all the other competitors who were too bitch made to speak up if they noticed something inappropriate and you have a recipe for disaster.
This reminds me of one of my friends who had sex with an underage girl once. She was saying no playfully but leading him on by her actions and body language. Then there was a baby and her family started seeing her for the slut she was, so she called it rape. My friend is now wanted in some areas of Boston.
Tldr, Aris is immature, Miranda needs to stop being a submissive bitch(it seems like she didn’t mind until family started calling her out), the other competitors(and people in general) need to grow some balls and start speaking up when they notice something inappropriate even if it doesn’t directly offend them.
This whole situation could have been easily avoided if there was just one mature person in the equation, but sadly this is the FGC.
You do know that this is illegal whether the girl calls it rape or not, right
I mean even if it is consensual the parents can still press charges
If only they gave this kind of attention for events and stuff.
iI want to act surprised that Jared is trying to blow this shit outta proportion by bring internet fuckwads into the business…but I really can’t. I totally expect this from him
GOOD RESEARCH PA
Yeah, not when you know the full story. He was 18 and she was 16, and in most countries with legal regulations that make sense, a two year gap is acceptable for consent(assuming the minimum age is higher than 16 which is the norm in most countries)

Eh, I still think your friend was kind of dumb for pressing on even though she said “no” regardless of whether it was playful or not. Even if your friend is right it isn’t going to fly in a court of law. Most juries are going to think your friend is this guy:
whoah this thread is still open
Then he shouldn’t fucking call crass jokes sexual harassment, because that isn’t what either crass jokes or sexual harassment are.
That’s how I see it.
It is true that they can bleed into each other, but in a circumstance like this terms have to be concrete.
**Sexual Harassment: **Harassment in a workplace, professional or social situation, involving the making of unwanted sexual advances or obscene remarks
Not sure where you learned about Sexual Harassment, but since when did you have to ask for sex for it to be sexual harassment. I’m not sure if you’re trolling or just uneducated on the subject. Did you read what Aris said posted by Havatchu?
“Yeah, everyone in the chat is tellin’ me to stop talkin’ about you, sure.” Miranda: “Yeah!”: She wants him to stop talking about her.
“Make her a skirt out of my beard?”: She laughs convincingly. But still says, “No!”
“You’re girlfriend smells good Nathan.” “You’re a lucky man.”
“Quit complaining Miranda, you’re about to get smelled.”
Your statements are exactly what these news outlets are going to be fishing for to get hits on their websites. “The FGC seems to think that Sexual Harassment is asking or demanding sex of another person” Miranda is a submissive bitch? God damn man kids need to stay in school and stop playing fighting games.
The ONE thing I can agree on is that others in the FGC need to stand up for this stuff when it happens. You are right that everyone here (myself included) and everyone on the show should have immediately stepped in and stopped Aris in some way shape or form.
If you’re going by the legal definitions that would be used to decide sexual harassment cases and such, almost everything that Aris did would legally qualify as sexual harassment.

I really don’t want this Aris character representing us any more to any degree.
So, you gonna explain the difference between a sexual advance and asking for sex?
There were obscene remarks, but that’s about it, I read what Havatchu posted, and clearly, sexual advances were not made. Crass jokes, sure, sexual harassment, we’re not there yet.
Those news outlets can fish as much as they want. I have no respect for someone who takes out of context posts and tries to get hits like that. And yeah, I’d call anyone who gets treated in a way they don’t like publicly and let it rock for 5 whole fucking days without speaking up a “submissive lil bitch”. Maybe i’m biased since my female friends don’t take shit from anyone, but that’s just how I see it.
Take it how you will.
