A Climactic Encounter Ending on 1 Negate and a Dream

acting more professionally in behavior is typically good but i would always be careful about hiring “professionals” to do anything. in any case, i actually think the community did a pretty good job of dealing with this. i would bet that the amount of abuse going on in the FGC will drop precipitously after this airing out, though im aware it will be impossible to know for sure and even my most optimistic predictions allow for some abuse due to human nature


Infiltration got a self-decided suspension and a welcoming return back to EVO after beating his wife with audio recording of it.

I have no hope in the community learning anything if the same people as always are big figures in it. From all the testimony from just say, Mr. Wizard's poo poo, this was just an open secret of history forever in the inner circle at EVO and most of them aren't getting run out of the scene.

The Corps Will Save Us From The Pedophiles is a fascinating angle in this world where Epstein Definitely Killed Himself.

Yeah, this is my take on it, too :/

Like, we are hearing it all spill now because the FGC's clout, resources and organization to sweep things under the rug is loving laughable. Mr Wizard is probably the absolute top and he got kicked out super easy. If EVO and the FGC in general was much more organized, had more sponsors hands in there, then there'd be folks that actually know how to silence voices. Like turning that Smash House into a straight up business.

this is going to happen anyway once riot releases their fighting game and forces players to sign exclusive deals

i'd also say it would get worse because the first thing riot will do is get rid of open tourneys and focus on making top guys mega-stars

stars can do anything, you know

I held off for a bit because I like to watch a few in a row so I'm still on 21 and Woolie reacting to Reggie saying 'I'm lucky I never got hooked onto like gatcha or lottery games or draw ticket things' like 'Why did you word it like that, it's a choice. It's not a drug, you can't be addicted to playing those games. It's just a matter of it sucks or you like it' got me over here looking at the screen like Drew Scanlon.

Yeah, I guess. I don't remember they were or not but I thought that they did a segment on gaming news even before they split up on the old podcast too so it must've come up a few times in that time.

whats more baffling about it is he cohosts a podcast with pat, who has wasted thousands of dollars on microtransactions for games he doesnt play anymore, and has definitely dedicated multiple podcast segments to discussions of the issue. i specifically remember a conversation about whales that get hooked on it and piss away their whole income

You can say that fundie organizations and the often harmful causes they try and bend people to suck really bad without a doubt and few to any people will care, but he was starting to get into "slack jawed" nonsense, which gets dumber and dumber to say all the time when you have so much stuff like, especially for example with how many of them are present in canada where V and Woolie live, the ample amount of people like very well respected sikh neurosurgeons, scientists, educators and such. The implication that religion is for those nasty unlearned poors and that sort of thing is super gross and so easy to smack down by this point, without even getting to a point of showing how many 'upper class' people also end up being WASP-y fundies and the like who funnel so much of their money toward horrible megachurch speakers and all that.
