@wingdingdi47640@DadRockEnjoyer No I agree and I don’t know the full story of this or how he behaved outside of game so it could be totally justified. I just don’t really like the sentiment that we should operate on “vibes” because that is so vague and feels like a slippery slope.
@wingdingdi47640@DadRockEnjoyer Maybe my point wasn’t very clear. I don’t think disliking lame gameplay is bad. I do find the community’s reaction to it to be way too extreme. I would never support banning someone who was playing within the confines of the rules.
@DadRockEnjoyer I think the deeper problem here is this community has convinced itself a match taking an extra 5 minutes and involving a less buttons is “emotional torment”
Fox players, sheik players, and Luigi players coming together to celebrate a puff player getting banned for playing lame. In a just world, they would be next.
@SsbmV80363@SSBMMELEECLIPS It’s killing the game for you because you can’t stop soy raging about trans people 24/7. It’s all you think about. Can’t say that applies to the rest of us though.
@SsbmV80363@SSBMMELEECLIPS That’s not the definition of transphobia though, nor is it the common understanding of the word lmao. You have to resort to reddit semantics arguments because you’ve got no real substance.
@SsbmV80363@SSBMMELEECLIPS Attendance at a local level is at an all time high and you can expect to interact with gay or trans people and just about any Melee local. Do you think it’s likely that viewership is down due to way larger factors like the economy of esports in general?
@SsbmV80363@SSBMMELEECLIPS Can’t say I’ve heard of him, unless he goes by something else. Im not looking to argue with you about individual bans and whether they are right or wrong. I just don’t believe the idea that anything related to bans for transphobia is killing the game.
@SSBMMELEECLIPS@SsbmV80363 And that’s exactly the point. These guys will equate losers like A Rookie to someone like Mango. The only bans to have ever arguably hurt viewership are Mango and Hax. Neither of which engaged in transphobia. It’s a goofy narrative these people invented.
@SSBMMELEECLIPS@SsbmV80363 A Rookie is a mario player that was banned for transphobia. He is the only example I can think of except maybe Mekk as well but he talked a lot of shit in general.
