    Now there's a few people looking up old tweets trying to get James, Justin, and Arturo banned too lol.
    Any player who grew up in NYC at Chinatown Fair or Golf Land in SoCal has said the n-word over 500 times. Just ban them all!

    I mean, we're all fucked to then lol. I know pretty much every one of us in these FGC threads have said it and still say it casually. It sure as fuck it was common at my local arcade when I actually had the time to go.

    Right or wrong, it is common throughout all of America, from junior high circles ~ 40 year olds who grew up in groups that used it. It is reinforced by music/movies that people listen to on a daily basis and will remain in common vocabulary, until that type of reinforcement goes away.

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but if iirc the one or two bgers who work/ed for the scene got triggered from all the shit being posted here about the same topic and left. So... idk, maybe they are part of the issue being discussed here.

    I don't know if they "rage quit" but Calli and TBR didn't post much during the release of SFV to begin with I think but back then it really was Spiderdan vs Welt in a FT100.

    Weren't they friends with that psycho SJW mod? I thought they left when she left after all the sports people told her to suck a dick essentially.

    tbh i didn't think there was any specific catalyst for them dropping out, i just attributed it to natural forum attrition. could be wrong obviously but i can't remember any specific altercation or anything, i always just figured it was just the result of keeping with the times. over the last decade, the FGC generally moved on from forums to twitter and then discord (which i don't think has been a good development. not to say the forum standard of old was perfect or great, but that's neither here nor there).

    i assume most of the people with a material interest in the scene just had to follow suit, whatever their preference.
