<\/span>@Milkman<\/strong> said:<\/p><\/span>@RagingDaemon<\/strong> said:<\/span>@Milkman<\/strong>: Was that an attempt to shame me? No tide of first year gender studies white knights or otherwise weak thinking people are going to get anywhere with just insults. Are you sure this isn't the comment section of Jezebel or Feministing?<\/p><\/blockquote>It was more of an attempt to say you look like a meat head inbred fuck. If wanting to make sure that women can freely participate in e-sports without being shamed by rape threats makes this \"Feministing\", then sure, welcome to Feministing. I guess you're on the wrong site.<\/blockquote>I\u2019m able to post again. Let me deconstruct you and your archetype.<\/p>Your attempts to insult me are very poor because they are extremely inaccurate. Nowhere in my writing have I come off as less than articulate, and I share not the slightest physical resemblance to the inbred\/hick\/redneck\/etc stereotype that you are gleefully trotting out. Are you intimidated by the fact that I\u2019m visibly very strong? Does your view of the world only encompass an either\/or scenario of weak intelligentsia or muscle-bound oafs?<\/p>Like most of your ilk, you\u2019re ultimately an extreme hypocrite, and clearly enjoy trying to hate and bash someone that has opposing views, in a manner worse than the people that you condemn. In their case, it was insensitive language meant in jest\/competition, from you, it\u2019s dead serious and there is no doubt about the intent. If you deem it a vile \u201cism\u201d of some sort, without contextual (or any, really) analysis, then the said person in your eyes becomes an object of abject hatred. You feel self-righteously justified in being and acting even worse that the people you so despise.<\/p>Furthermore, when you\u2019re not spewing crappy insults you\u2019re vomiting back rhetoric I doubt you closely examined. Your arguments rely on exaggerations, slippery slopes, and attempts at manipulation via guilt tripping by attempting to take some moral high ground of your own creation. If you sincerely believe that the fighting game community, or Aris, had the intent of intimidating women away from their community via rape threats, or threats of physical violence, then you are undoubtedly willing to ignore context to propagate your own agenda via lies, or are genuinely delusional.<\/p>Although I know despite operating under the premise that you have \u201can open mind\u201d, and are \u201ctolerant\u201d, your rigid thinking and already set opinions are not going to let you absorb any of the above. I highly doubt you will be able to self reflect and take away anything meaningful from this. You will continue to be a hypocrite and attack targets of opportunity that deviate from what you want like a rabid dog.<\/p>You\u2019re welcome.<\/p><\/article>12 years ago<\/time><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/a>ZenTzen<\/a><\/svg><\/i> Follow\n <\/a><\/div><\/header>6<\/p>Forum Posts<\/p><\/div>0<\/p>Wiki Points<\/p><\/div>0<\/p>Followers<\/p><\/div><\/section>Reviews:<\/span> 0<\/p>User Lists:<\/span> 0<\/p><\/section><\/div><\/div>\n Edited By ZenTzen<\/a><\/div><\/div><\/span>@Hailinel<\/strong>: This is what he said:<\/p>\"\"I unfortunately used extreme examples in the heat of the moment and feel that my statements don\u2019t actually communicate how I feel.\"\"<\/p>This right here tells us that what he wanted to say was poorly phrased and made him look like a douche.<\/p>\"\"My statements do not reflect those of Capcom or myself.

Should he now be made be some kind of villain even after he showed remorse on what he said?<\/p>Theres also a lot of things that happened during the show and a lot of the blame and things that happened cant be put on solelly on Aris.<\/p>Was Aris and idiot for what he said, how he said it and when he said it? Sure.<\/p>Did he recognize what he said and apologized for it? Yes he did.<\/p><\/article>12 years ago<\/time><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/a>cookiemonster<\/a><\/svg><\/i> Follow\n <\/a><\/div><\/header>2561<\/p>Forum Posts<\/p><\/div>42<\/p>Wiki Points<\/p><\/div>0<\/p>Followers<\/p><\/div><\/section>Reviews:<\/span> 0<\/p>User Lists:<\/span> 2<\/p><\/section><\/div><\/div>\n Edited By cookiemonster<\/a><\/div><\/div>He looks like a krogan.<\/p><\/article>12 years ago<\/time><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/a>Rexicon<\/a><\/svg><\/i> Follow\n <\/a><\/div><\/header>108<\/p>Forum Posts<\/p><\/div>0<\/p>Wiki Points<\/p><\/div>0<\/p>Followers<\/p><\/div><\/section>Reviews:<\/span> 0<\/p>User Lists:<\/span> 1<\/p><\/section><\/div><\/div>\n Edited By Rexicon<\/a><\/div><\/div><\/span>@Nefarious_Al<\/strong> said:<\/p>Nice to see people still shitting on the entire FGC over Aris being an ass.<\/p>Nobody in the FGC actually wants sexual harassment of it's female participants.

That just fueled me to get better and get my revenge. Also just to be clear I don't tell everyone I play they are fucking trash after I beat them.

That said Miranda quitting as she did was insanely bad form. That is my only gripe with how she handled the situation. I do feel bad she folded under the pressure of the situation and Aris being a dick to her and everyone else on the show. She plays at Keystone though she isn't new to some colorful language.<\/p>Aris fucked up and I don't condone his actions or words. He was no doubt fucking around though and it no doubt made Miranda uncomfortable. A bad day for the FGC for sure. I hope Miranda bounces back and doesn't leave the FGC. She quit on herself and that might take some time get over.<\/p>As for Aris he is part of the FGC. He isn't going anywhere. His brand of humor is definitely not for everyone and most people might not find him funny at all. I usually find him amusing although not so much in this case.
