And yeah. Just look at Ricky. Nuff said. If you think this community as a whole doesn’t like transgender people because they’re transgender you’re delusional. How many FGC members and frequent tournament attendees put up with my bullshit on Facebook? A lot, 500+. I’m a completely open book because I like awareness and education on the topic and this community has been extremely welcoming, all types of demographics, not just nerdy white virgins.
I don’t see the big deal about asking “do you still have a dick”
fun fact: I’m blind in one eye and though most people I meet in real life never find out, occasionally it comes up and people ask me silly or dumb questions about it. somehow I manage to make it through the conversation without having an emotional episode because someone asked about my “disability.”
if someone asks “do you still have a dick” or “what’s the world look like when you only have one good eye” and you get offended that’s your problem not theirs. they just have no experience/knowledge of your situation and want to know more. treat it as an opportunity to teach them something or you can make fun of them or whatever is your bag. imagine if instead of stewing on it and then writing a blog post, they had instead replied “I dunno man, wanna check for yourself?”
basically don’t be the person who everyone has to watch themselves around. “can’t speak my mind, might offend him/her.” we all know people like that whether they’re from the religious right or the crazy fringe left. either way they’re not fun to be around.
You should exclusively wear those Red and Blue 3D glasses everywhere like the kid from Zombies Ate My Neighbors, just to fuck with people when they find out about the blindness.
SJW/feminist would waste their time attacking the FGC. It’s a competitive community based of a meritocracy…sure they can bitch about harassment but no amount of protest will make a woman win evo unless she’s legitimately that good…or maybe they just ban all men and make every major for women only.
I never said it should be a public shitstorm rather than be solved privately by both sides.
Nobody would know who Ian is unless they’ve read his articles. He’s simply not worth the effort.
You want to know the best part?
Take a look at his forum account. “Created July 2011. 0 Posts. 0 Threads.”
This bitchass has fuck all to do with the FGC, and he just happens to be Editor-in-Chief of the front page of the main hub of it.
People still go to the front page?
its all McRibs doing no one can fill the void Keits left
UFGT (and all the good it did the whole Midwest scene) done
Wakeup SRK Done
The front page (for all intents and purposes) Done
We’d be blessed to have another Adam
I think some people here are taking this way too far.
I don’t agree with Ian’s decision to post the twitlonger on SRK’s front page but let’s keep our heads cool and look at the situation in a fair manner:
- This is not clickbait for profit. It’s more likely that he did it because he thought it was the right thing to do. From what I do know of him, he does not like being a part of this internet drama, especially not a target for slander. Suggesting that he’ll put himself through this unpleasant situation just to get clicks is simply not true.
- SRK has a lot of politics in the upper echelons. The editor’s opinion is not the end all be all of what goes on the first page, and I’m saying this as someone who was negatively affected by this in the past. Don’t always try to find an easy target to blame for shit you don’t like.
- You don’t even know who Ian is since you never bother to visit the front page, and then you criticize him over a single decision you don’t agree with? If you have not been following the front page for a long time how can you judge his performance? Have you tried to compare his work to the years when every fart Maximilian let loose became a front page story? Have you tried to compare his work to Eventhubs?
When the front page was full of Max I was right there in the comments complaining. But when things started to improve I stopped complaining. (Not to mention that I started making the vids I wanted to see myself.)
You can’t send negative feedback 100% of the time, unless you enjoy being a bitter asshole. When you see something positive you also need to reward that with positive feedback, or else your opinion won’t matter and you won’t be able to affect changes.
It’s really easy to go on a mindless mob crusade and let emotion replace critical thinking, but it won’t achieve your goals. Keep it cool and act smart.
Never seen this side of MP. Holy nuts
If you refuse to respond to the allegations of being a liar within 24 hours, I will be contacting MrWizard about your job.
This isn’t really going to do shit.

I’ll kill a pig with my bare hands to make McRibs out of them.
Pretty creepy on Missing Person’s part

The whole point of the front page is clickbait. Its just there to generate revenue and keep SRK floating as a website. Considering how fuck ups are treated in the community, he ain’t getting fired over this. Especially since it makes it look like its addressing a community problem (as Tataki mentioned).
Sorry, going to try to get a dude fired because he posted an article i disliked, that is normal behaviour and not at all strange
I was just about to say maybe Ash makes a fair point, but thats quite a long list of hypocrisy Missing Person just posted above.
Bigot-In-Chief Ian “racisttothemax” Walker had to crank it up to 11 because the alleged perp’s skin was too brown. Telling the story in a way that purposely misleads. White people really have a warped sense of danger. Jumping out of planes and shit but oh no the FGC isn’t a “safe” place.
“Somebody has potential to be harmed, bullied, harassed, mistreated at your event?” Actual quote from the article. The potential raises depending on how dark the room is for these people. Couldn’t even talk to Big E about it they’re so shook up. Probably talked to someone they thought was Big E because we all look the same to them.

True he should have spoken up about those, but either way people would be attacking him for percieved sjw
Holy shit.
