around... 2008? or something, idk, when i went to Big E tournaments, they hosted a lot of doa tournies too and more women entered doa than like every other game combined at the time. i dont know what this adds to the conversation.

I was super surprised to find out how big the DOA casual audience was/is when at a DOA5 tourney they let slip that DOA5 had the the largest number of unique players of any fighting game(2013ish?) and how big the female player base was.

Ultradavid is a cool person and he's a decent follow for overall FGC news.

edit: also I've always assumed that the DOA community's big female presence was due to it being one of the few fighters with women protagonists at the time, and also that the skeevy bullshit was added incrementally.

Yeah seems like a fine thing to say to me. I don't know about his past, but I know there's a lot of nerd guys that are coming around to treating women more respectfully in recent years. Considering how long scenes like the fgc have been misogynistic, there's a lot of entrenched attitudes about how things should be. And I think a tweet like this is a sign that he's trying to change, and that sort of attitude needs to be encouraged, especially by the older guys who act as gatekeepers.

It's crazy to me that guys like Sanford Kelly and LI Joe are no longer considered scumbags.

I don't know if it's because FGC history is too old, or the community is getting worse.

there are many guys who want to have a physique like guile or jin, and there are many ladies who want a physique like mai or kasumi. dunno why so many people like to pretend power fantasies are gender specific

Mai Shiranui got brought up in the general discussion thread a bit ago and people were saying she was apparently always like a number 1 or 2 character in popularity polls among women.




a lot of this is just that japan has a very diff. view of sexuality and fanservice than america. not in a 'kill la kill is feminist' way or 'they think doa is woke,' way just a 'how its presented matters more than the content itself,' kind of. likewise a lot of the time fanservice for men isnt about sexualization (though there is a lot of that) so much as writing. like nakoruru would pass any 'woah look at htis cool uhhhhh ninja? girl' test but shes actually the most dude pandering character snk had in the 90s because shes this super shy, cute girl and they made seventeen dating sims where she calls you big brother.

Mai is a pretty good litmus test for this because she was confident, goofy, but a cool adult ninja woman, so a lot of women liked her even though she was literally modeled off of multiple porn stars, because there was this kind of playful, fun sexuality to her. now in snk tag heroines or whatever its called shes embarrassed over being in an outfit thats less skimpy than usual for her and its turning a lot of people off. the amount of sexualization is about the same but the context is very different. in the west its mostly just people checking against a titty quotient more than anything.

dude is also a massive racist, all kinds of poo poo about how he didnt want native-born vietnamese in his gaming cafe (in vietnam) because it makes the place look 'poor' and how he only wanted japanese/koreans/chinese in there. i know hes vietnamese too but that makes that even more hosed, imo.
