Pretty much this, if I could go to the events I would. But most of the time I'm just watching the streams cause I want to see the fights. Hell honestly half the time I have it muted.

I watch streams for the matches. Off color commentary is extra. If it just normal ultrachen commentary, I'm fine with that.
Yipes can be good PG.

I'd wager it's not a figure they would brag about. The business of the FGC is at its infancy and spooky has made it clear he wants to do this for a living.

I don't see the antics changing, and it shouldn't have to. The swearing can stay, the blowups can stay, all of it. I don't see them having to tone it down at all. Obviously, they won't be joking about this sexual harassment situation and they will watch more of what they say, but the core of the FGC mentality (trash talking and overall competitiveness) will not and should not change.
What Aris said is foolish. Trash talking is a part of the community and honestly, one part I don't want to change at all. But no one approves of sexual harassment. There is a difference between the two and I hope that everyone can recognize that.

I can't stop clicking on this title, even though everything that needs to be said has been said
inkblot doing the job, and people were saying he was dodgin the issue. Crows served.
Yeah, I agree the punishment may be disproportionated (Level Up is one of the most professional stream out there and I don't think they deserve that), but I think inkblot wants to send a clear message, since some of the people in the community (like Marn) doesn't seem to understand the problem, at least now they do.

That's a bit extreme. They can swear all they want. The point is not perpetuating this crazy drama fest any further. I'm curious what will be said this weekend on stream.
Yipes will probably be ok but he has used the word "bitch" many a times when talking about phoenix. I hate to say but Rush Hour would probably get the boot. If progress is really actually made i'm curious to see what happens to number of viewers & participant.
Maybe I should get that for dinner so damn good.
Spooky does have the 18 and older disclaimer before you can enter his stream but I can totally see Chris Hu being banned from the mic because of the things he talks about. Actually viewers were down yesterday but don't know if that was due to AE2012 being the only game on stream.
I think pulling the sponsorship from WNF is really excessive, especially considering WNF has banned the people responsible from being on mic and is changing up their process for letting anyone else talk on stream.
I understand that SRK needs to take a stand but this is just punishing everyone. With no EVO points available, bigger names aren't going to go to WNF anymore, causing fewer people to watch it, which is just a death spiral.

I recently stopped watching FGC streams because they were eating up too much time. But what is happening right now, wtf? Good thing I bailed out in time it seems. Kotaku, fuck off.
Good lord, this video stream is among the most pathetic things I've EVER seen on the Internet, and that's coming from a Tubetard connoisseur. Utterly clueless simpleton wallowing in baseless self pity.
Then you enter a whole other grey area of whether Black people should use the N word or not, whether they should be okay with letting their non-Black friends use it, etc. Cause it was Aquasilk who brought that up first.
I don't want to see this fiasco go THAT way. That's ugly too.

As someone mentioned earlier, Chris Hu is probably going to have to reign it in a little bit. You and I know he doesn't mean harm or anything, but...

The reason the Aris thing came to the forefront in the first place is that someone was offended enough by what they saw to bring it to other people and get them to look into it.
When the community insists that something is handled and that it's an isolated incident, it's idiotic to play into the stereotypes that a negative article may foist upon the community.
Precisely, this isn't helping.

Well it wasnt on the teamspooky stream and most of the big players are on their way to Final Round, which probably accounts for most of it
Edit: ah you were talking about WNF? Probably that and the lack of a lot of big players..
This is helping SRK look like the shining white knight of the FGC, despite that place being a cesspool for the past 6 or so years.
It's what a lot of people wanted.

Yea Yipes can make it but the others will have to put in some work (Rush Hour: their commentary on culture, Matrix: whenever Storm is on the team/in-play lol)
Chris and Aqua are the worst part of Spooky's stream to me.
However I really hope they don't get censored. Though a large portion of their jokes consist of them making racial sterotype jokes together and Chris hitting on/wanting 16 year olds.
That and he loved the number game. It will be interesting to see where this goes from here.

I doubt any of the mainstream press would give two hoots about an issue like that.

Yeah, Matrix is creepy when Storm gets on the screen, but I'm imagining he can keep it pretty PG otherwise.
I don't remember anything Steve said being offensive either. More Steve = win.
I think I echo everyone else here when I say that people better not #cross any lines at Final Round this weekend, or else god knows what will happen. The media will definitely be watching. And if not watching, picking up trinkets of information from periphery sources like GAF and Twitter.
A bt to excited maybe, but Creepy? Really? Matrix loves the character and seeing her played well. I think creepy is a bit much with Matrix and Storm.

Shinblanka should fight a dude on the air~!
Pretty sure plenty of the WNF regulars are just going there for a good time and have been going there before WNF became part of the Evo circuit. The big names don't normally show up on WNF anyway unless a major is coming up.
Matrix's Storm love comes off as campy more than creepy to me, but otherwise agreed. Also MMSteve is awesome. Steve + Yipes is only a notch under Matrix & Yipes imo.

Well, perhaps creepy is the wrong word. But the way he talks about Storm when she gets on screen that is a bit....excessive, I guess.

No creepy is the right word hahaha
Final Round should be alright with James Chen, Ultra David and Skisonic being there. At the same time all those guys compete in games and it would be unfair to them having to do commentary all the time because they paid their own way out there and they are not paid for commentary.
Or you know, the complete opposite.

He does nothing wrong, it's just the same way when a girl talks a ton about a male character they really like. xD it comes off as creepy/obsessive in a way.
Uh oh don't let the media know about that.
:lol
EVO points were just started to be given out on WNF this season, and they had a good amount of great players and watchers checking out before that.
Yeah I don't understand the fear that all of a sudden people will stop going to WNF. Lack of seed points didn't stop people before, and WNF still had some of the biggest, if not the biggest turnout of any weekly.
The withdrawal of sponsorship, thats a touchier subject though. I do agree taking money out of the community is inverse progress though, even if it does set a precedent. I just hope SRK does something else with that money instead of just sitting on it to show that a punishment has been made.

No more rush hour? No more Yipes? No more popoffs?

Cross Assault as a whole just shouldn't have happened imo. People outside the FGC (I hate the term but hey, what can I do) shouldn't have a say regarding what's going on within it.
Jared killed the FGC.
