Ultra Street Fighter IV pro Valentin “Valmaster” Petit of France was banned from wearing his team colors to Capcom sponsored event "Capcom Cup" over the weekend.
Up top is a link to the article. I personally struggle to see why it should be an issue, anywhere that SFIV is playing at, there should be absolutely no issue with someone wearing a shirt that say "YP" on it (absolutely nothing specifically stating YouPorn).
The decisions was made by Capcom, and given their recent cave in to feminist culture seems like "outside influences" have more say on their scene than the fans. Just my perspective.
The article is fucking terrible btw I just linked it for a source, if someone else can be bothered to find something written by someone who isn't a 40 year old with a failing marriage and signs of brain damage, please let me know and I'll replace the link.
Here is some choice quotes from someone with absolutely no understanding of the competitive fighting scene who obviously spent absolutely no time at all even bothering to try find out. A reminder that being able to write articles on the internet doesn't make you a journalist:
"Team YP is positioned as a safe for work brand, avoiding any mentions of parent company YouPorn on the team's website, social media accounts and jersey."
Here was a good response to the article from a viewer:
"What's even funnier is the pro Street Fighter player, Valmaster, wore the "censored" version at Capcom Cup, and THEY CENSORED IT FURTHER TO THE POINT WHERE YOU COULDN'T EVEN SEE THE CENSORED LOGO.
It's hilarious since it just makes more exposure in like Twitch Chat that he's sponsored by YouPorn. Opposite effect."
Here's a picture of the censored shirt BEFORE Capcom's input, it was Team YP's clever response to this nonsense by creating a pixelated shirt for their competitors to wear at Capcom events. Was still too offensive and needed to be censored further apparently:
possibly NSFW (if you work for Capcom)
Oh the humanity, won't somebody think of the children?!?
What do you guys think

Check out the games that Team YP players play.
Super Smash Bros, Ultra Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat to name a few. What age bracket do you think about when you talk about those games? My son was playing Super Smash Bros when he was 8-years old.
Speaking in an interview with Fortune, Brad Burns Vice President of YourPorn, told them that a large number of their audience enters their site via their consoles. 51% through PlayStation, 39% through XBox and 10% from Wii. 91.5% of these gamers are male, and 77% aged between 18-34.
The outlandish nature of this statement aside, acting as though porn is an "evil" on the level of KKK or terrorism, Just a reminder that the team's official name, is Team YP, not team youporn. "Team CJ" would be the equivalent he's looking for. Here's the official description of the team, first blurb under google:In that same interview, Burns said they never promote the YouPorn brand or any form of porn to their Team YP fans. Does that mean that Team KKK and Team Crazy Jihadists are allowed to play as long as they don’t promote their primary business?
"Team YP is positioned as a safe for work brand, avoiding any mentions of parent company YouPorn on the team's website, social media accounts and jersey."
And who is Burns kidding.
Even by covering this story I am promoting his brand.
Shame on you.
Shame on me.
Sex is powerful stuff for adults, let alone teenagers and children. So when I learned that Capcom had refused to allow Street Fighter IV player Valentin “YP_Valmaster” Petit to compete in the Capcom Cup event in San Fransisco this weekend, in his team colours I was happy.
context for the last quote: in regards to who the target audience that he thinks will suddenly become YouPorn customers thanks to this marketing. Basically thinks that the player for the YouPorn owned team is there recruiting 8 year olds to watch porn with the "advertisement" of the site by having the initials "YP" on his shirt. This moron is the reason stupid rules like this are put in effect, these are the people Capcom is worried about "offending"One doubts anyone aged below 18 will be picked up in that mix
