I have to come clean. I tweeted that article to her. I expected the same response to it from her as the Dtoid article. It backfired.

I have a feeling people are going to get burned out talking about this and then they'll just try to forget it all.

I'm starting to believe that Miranda played the major role in blowing this up to where it is now.
Instead of ignoring people who are bashing her on Twitter, she's responding to each tweet saying stuff like 'This is huge part of FGC and my life.'

I supported her on FB and Twitter, but I'm finding it hard to sympathize with her. Aris had 1 tweet on his Twitter in the last 3 days. Dude knows to keep his mouth shut. Miranda should just stop tweeting and chill for a while.

Lets see how many ignorant fools sent stuff to Patrick. I dont have faith in stream monsters sending in substantive feedback about this situation.
 
"@MarkMan23 Hopefully you understand this wasn't about trying to paint a broad brush about the community."

I really, really appreciate Patrick trying to get all sides of the story and input from the community regarding this story instead of just writing from videos/twitter.

she didnt even have a twitter account before SFxT. Ricky O. has been pushing her to "standarize" herself as a female rep of a fighting game player.

Art REALLY shouldn't say "blow it up" at an airport.

Normally I would laugh but this is NO JOKE MAN.

I admit I wasnt gonna buy this game till Sakura was available but I went ahead and pre-ordered. You can thank the stream for that.
Overall, it's hard for me to even conceive how overall this wasn't an incredibly successful marketing campaign, if not the best they've ever had.

This show catered to the community, and I'm sure it's drawn in tons who just came for the FGC drama and not SFxTK. It's a win-win for everyone. Except Miranda. We got the hype, we got the drama, we got the pop offs, we got (a bit) of solid play, etc.

I'm not buying SFxTK, but I'll be damned if this stream didn't tempt me some more. And I'm sure plenty of GAFers have been sold on it since the show began.

Did you guys expect anything less from Patrick? Giant Bomb always does great work in my opinion.

They have really won me over. I listen to the podcast weekly and pay for premium.

This. Patrick is one of the hardest working journalists in the industry.

And the key word there is "journalist." Unlike a great many in the profession (unfortunately), he actually makes the calls, asks tough questions, checks his sources, and gets all sides. He's one of the best not only because he's just fundamentally good, but because so many don't even know how to do the job.

Except the initial article he put out did not do that, hence why he's doing that now.

Their Quicklooks about fighting games are atrocious though, they don't bother to inform themselves about anything before they go through 'em. It has this weird comedic charm otherwise, but with Fighting Games it's weird to hear them make stuff up as they go.

This. Jeff's the fighting game head of the crew and even he does some scrubby shit on the Quick Looks.

yea maybe he saw the destructoid article said said to himself "shit I need to make sure I'm not like THEM".

GB is usually pretty good. They have to be considering it was indirectly started because of the Kayne and Lynch fiasco.

It's also worth noting he said on Twitter he rushed his first article to beat Jim Sterling. So let's not go too crazy with the praise.

Ok nevermind I guess.

nothing is true, everything is permitted. #esports

Yeah, I'm a fan of GB and a premium member, but I've actually started avoiding their fighting game stuff because of this.
