Now that Smash Bros compeditive scene is cancelled forever due to rampant pedophilia its time for a different retro fighter to take its place on the Evo stage
@dielan are esports just fucked with this kind of shit
@xianc78 @dielan the speedrunners i watch dont get into dumb shit. meanwhile as much as i like people such as mang0, he and pretty much everyone else in smash have undeniably built a reputation with the outside world. maybe not paedophile levels in many cases, but they tend to lose respect and credibility all the same
@xianc78 @dielan i think that's more endemic with and adjacent to GDQ. majority of runners i keep up with are male, maybe like one female, and i wanna say no trans people. i know there are female and tranny runners out there, but i guess none of them play games i watch, or they arent interesting enough for me to watch. typically im watching games i grew up with, or n64-era games because they just have cool tech; and at that i mostly watch top-level runners of those games. so, already, i'm avoiding a lot of the nintendo and celeste and metroid shit that the trannies probably eat up, and im avoiding anyone with an obnoxious personality who cant actually play games because muh meritocracy
