Because every mildly 'touchy' subject is usually in a 'if you're not with us, you're against us' mindset and every other opinion will be shut down by getting banned or getting your words twisted so you're forced to leave or defend yourself for a pretty neutral statement and perspective, which usually gets you banned as well. I can totally see why people think that way about GAF - at least for some subjects. Well, it's a gaming forum foremost, so I'm not sure if any serious discussions about touchy subjects has actually a place here to begin with. Best to stay away from those threads.I love how Neogaf is painted as a collective mindset when there is clear disagreement in just about every topic.
That's true too. I remember reading GAMESFAQ and they were pretty much hating every other site.It's just negatively stereotyping websites people don't visit to make them feel better about the websites they do. You can already see some silly comments about Tumblr and Reddit on here and by no means are they a hive-mind either.
Wow. Shut it all down.
As much as the FGC wants to portray a community getting together for the pure fun of playing fighting games, a lot of the hype as well as the negative 'drama' in the scene is due to the betting.
what the fuck does that even mean?
It's basically a derogatory term to refer to straight people that they made up. They would claim that it is a "neutral" term, but you'll hardly catch any of them using it in anything but a negative way. Basically, because your sexual orientation matches your physical parts, you are an oppressive shitlord. And if male, probably a rapist.
Typically anyone who would actually use this term is the type of person who lives in a bubble and is possibly more racist and more sexist than anyone you've ever met.

Cisgender has nothing to do with being straight. Or does it refer to sexual orientation at all. It is when your gender identity matches the one that is given to you at birth. But keep making assumptions about people who use a word you don't even understand.
Kind of sucks how that clip cut out the whole part about Jay volunteering time to help drug addicts.
Good trash talk though.
http://youtu.be/FH6dfof5B0Q?t=59m10sWhut? Just checked the entire clip and heard nothing about it.
Why is it used as slur towards people though?

Don't get why people act like the FGC is some terrible community all the time.
It's damn sure more entertaining and fun than any other gaming community.
Holy fuck posts like this are so infuriating. This is like saying you refuse to travel to the US because of crazy gun nuts. The scene isnt full of this and has a lot of welcoming people. If you dont get into the scene thats fine, but dont act like this is indicative of the scene as a whole. Its ignorant.Man I love fighting games, but I'll never get into the scene because of stuff like this right here.
My experience too. Got old very quickly. Not that everyone does it but there's enough people doing it that it got on my nerves.In my experience these tournaments are a bunch of people just yelling out phrases they read on the internet. Walk into a Smash tournament and within 3 minutes you'll guaranteed hear "so salty", "i can't even", "believe", "the hype is real" etc.
Next tourney I'm getting "who bitch this is" started.
Dude looks just like Donald Glover. Holy shit.
Considering how many people are killed and accidentally shot in USA by guns, especially kids, actually it's kind of reasonable to not want to travel to the USA.Holy fuck posts like this are so infuriating.

Speaking of Dark Prince I saw him at Evo 2013, recognized the voice right away. Naturally he was chilling around the MvC2 casuals.
it's like the least offensive gaming community out there
and i hate fighting games
Yea, I think CoD tournaments, at least back during MW2 to BO2/MW3, are much more toxic than anything in the FGC. It was so much more immature and just annoying to watch.
Precisely because some people are dumb and don't even know what they're saying in the first place.
Straight people are easily the largest demographic of "cisgendered" people and are usually the targets of the term, but I did say that it's about your body/mind matching. I think sexual orientation frequently follows, though you're right. A dude who likes ladies could want to be a lady who likes ladies and therefore wouldn't be 'cisgendered' but would still be technically straight.
And as you can see in the very video posted, it is definitely used as a general slur of vague definition. I frequently see it used in the same way.
But I'm not interested in arguing about it, clarify for everyone else here until you are content. The tumblr activist bubble is something I like to keep a safe distance from. There is a lot of hate inside of it. A scary amount of crazy hate.

If youre going to write off an entire country that vast with that many different areas and people I think thats idiotic. Ive been to places in the States and Ive always felt safe![]()
I don't think they look alike

There's nothing wrong with being trans, of course, that goes without saying (at least for me). But "cis" people didn't choose that label and should feel free to object to it. We all have the right to be referred to as we choose.cisgendered shouldn't be an insult, there's nothing wrong with it just like there's nothing wrong with being trans.
in your example they would be a lesbian.
You consider a male with male parts that desires to be female but still likes women already a lesbian?

this only contributes to my impression that everyone in fgc is a massive asshole.
