@ismokepeoplefr @AlbinoSkittles @ozhadou Bro got timed out sometimes and then eventually banned from OCE servers for pretending to be trans with rat, not sure how I could handle that better tbh

[mari ☕ @mariteaaaaaa]

this is the kind of person that will always make me feel unsafe at sydney events, especially with romppa set to be unbanned in july

this behavior shouldnt be allowed in the community and if ozhadous new policy means anything, action should be taken

[FL | Arah @ArahSensei]

Hey @ozhadou does this go against your new harassment policies or is it ok because it's Youssef's friend doing it just curious :)

[ali 🇮🇶 @alihandal21__]

@KSRD_718 @nanakaidiki Framing racist and anti-lgbt views as normal doesn’t make them acceptable, it just excuses them, and when you still openly support that player, it tells them their behavior is ok as long as theyre good at the game. being a not welcoming person in this community isn't acceptable

[THG|Say-Co @Sayco_DMV]

Ludovic from THG was detained by ICE, and right now he needs us. He’s more than a teammate — he’s family.

We’ve set up a support link to help with legal fees and support during this time. If you can donate, please do. If not, please share.

How we got here, where we stand against the broader market, how Jackie Chan may hold the answer, why Dress to Impress should be keeping developers up at night, and what a fighting game built as a serious product in 2026 would actually look like. https://t.co/h4YvOEmvYK

@yagami2428 next hurdle before god4 is saying hi to eachother at pixel

[Yagami @yagami2428]

Evidence:
Guam have been intentionally marking players as partial DQs to inflate their dojos, allowing Allidar to gain more points. The July Guam Dojo was marked as a 48+ dojo, however if all DQs were properly counted would only be a 32+ dojo (1)

The commissions are flowing freely again. Thank you to everyone for your patience. ^_^

Todays build is for @thatjerryboy! Personalised layout based on their own build. Feat artwork from our own @mariteaaaaaa.

I love the NEWY FGC shout out. ^_^

You can choose to :
- Let problematic people go to your events.
- Go to events that allow problematic people.
- Disagree about the severity of someone's behaviour.
- Think it's not relevant to you.

But I also have the choice to respect you less and not want to work with you🙂

[Sebbie @Sebbietonin]

People don’t feel safe and when they speak privately or publicy about it they’re often met with a lot of downplay and invalidation.

Organisers are guilty of this as well and then find it surprising when people no longer want to communicate with them.

Fence sitting doesn’t help!

The scene isn’t what it used to be
I’m tired of pretending to smile for the “forced family photo” type energy
I’ve been a girl in the scene for over 4 years and am one of very few to be PR for most of that time
The way the scene handles women, trans women and victims is poor

[Skye May @SkyeMayCry]

The lack of women in the Sydney Smash scene isnt an accident and the high frequency of trans women quitting the scene isnt a coincidence

[nick @nickromancer_tk]

As someone who cares deeply about competition in the Oceania Tekken scene, I feel it’s important to bring attention to something that’s been affecting a lot of players. There’s a serious integrity issue in Tekken 8 TWT’s Oceania region, particularly involving Guam. @BNEesports @TEKKEN @mykeryu @nkt_dreamer @Harada_TEKKEN

Evidence suggests that Allidar may be benefiting from irregular tournament reporting (hosted by GuamEsportsFederation) , which creates unfair advantages on the regional leaderboard. Unfortunately, members of the community have previously raised these concerns with Bandai Namco, but with no clear resolution yet, this approach feels like the best way for the community’s voice to be heard. Although I want to be clear: if there’s verifiable evidence that disproves any of this, I genuinely welcome correction. 

Guamesportsfederation (on Instagram) appears to be hosting numerous tournaments throughout the past two years to support Allidar’s run for 1st place on the Oceania leaderboard. In 2024, Allidar placed first on the leaderboard allowing him to be flown overseas to participate in the LCQ.

[DewGlider @GliderDew]

I shouldn’t even have to make this post but this has gone too far. Apparently @AliTheNose ‘s friends were impersonating me and other Tekken players on his stream, saying slurs left, right and centre. This is disgusting behaviour when I don’t even interact with you. Just vile.
