I don't understand what consequences people want. The FGC doesn't have a governing body-- it's a big group of friends. Some people will shun him, some (seems like most) will stay friends with him and probably give him shit about this until the end of time.
But, uh, it would be nice if all this talk about how nobody is doing anything about the scene or how the scene is out of control would stop. This scene is older than Day 1 of Cross Assault and has had far worse scandals-- and everyone involved survived and learned from it! All without the help of the gaming media or non-fans.
There's this false dilemma being presented that the scene needs to clean up or risk losing what we've built. Capcom is throwing in $500k to tourneys this year. Do you think that would happen if the FGC was this balls out crazy, racist, sexist, dangerous thing? Obviously not. Haunts has said that Cross Assault opened doors. Announcements about this stuff will overshadow this drama, hopefully.
A lot of non-fans that are commenting just seem totally out for a fight. The internet commentary is pretty far gone and doesn't seem like it'll be satiated until Aris is sued into homelessness. It just seems odd that non-fans would hear a story about this, then suddenly think they have authority to make things happen in the FGC. And like I said, how Aris is dealt with is gonna happen on an individual, non-internet drama level because FGC mostly takes place off the stream cameras.
Non-fans aren't gonna get some huge denoument to the situation, so it's pretty obnoxious to see these righteous calls for change and massive sweeps in commentary. There'll be some lingering stories-- I'm sure someone will find something to pin on a Final Round commentator, contestant, the crowd...hell, I wouldn't be surprised if a kotaku writer hung out in a stream chat for 5 minutes, then drafted a story about the depravity of stream monsters. But I imagine this will blow over pretty quickly.
and by "blow over," I don't mean we can get back to our regularly programmed misogyny, I mean the FGC can get back to working on itself without all this "outside help." It's a very democratic kind of community and things work themselves out, thanks.
