Thank you so much for the reply bud! I still don't know where you're going with the TERF stuff, because that's a fascinating and multifaceted issue. But firstly, I do trust you because you have obviously read into the issue. Secondly, I asked you to DM me because this isn't a political site, znga I b.c. feel we may disagree. While I do possess the ability to disagree and be civil, many don't, and that's their prerogative. My point being, i just want to talk about games. I don't give two solitary fucks about 16Bit and her transition. I don't know her, i don't know anything about her, and i will never have the opportunity to do either. I find mutilating your genitals a horrifying prospect, but WHO CARES? You should care about my opinion on Kotal lacking a decent mid. If we can express everything here then fine, but it behooves me to tell all y'all, not everyone agrees with you. Period. That's in our nature. This is supposed to be consolidated around a particular studio's games. I got a message the other day from a member of this site saying (paraphrased) "Fuck this. If you're a Republican, get the fuck off my friends list. If you're a Democrat, you can stay." How reprehensible. THAT'S NOT WHY I'M HERE, THAT'S NOT WHY I FUNDED THIS REBIRTH OF THIS WEBSITE, I JUST WANT TO TALK ABOUT GAMES. Right?
I PMed you as requested but I do want to publicly say in response that saying TERFs are a "multifaceted issue" and calling gender reassignment surgery "genital mutilation" is some serious bullshit. TERFs can go ahead and fuck off. Not going to just let that be left as the last public comment in the thread but I won't derail any further.
We need an nrs shill party
I have had the opportunity to discuss this topic with @STORMS and @Gerchap privately and on the podcast. Traffic has significantly declined for all major fighting games websites, including for former powerhouses like the SRK and Tekken Zaibatsu forums. From my observations, TYM currently receives more traffic than either website and may be one the busiest fighting game website on the internet. The reality is, as Ultra David has already mentioned, that most users have migrated to Twitter and Reddit. Quality posters and high level players have also left in order to monetize information and videos on websites such as Twitch and YouTube.
That wouldn’t explain why Paulo, John Edwards, etc. stopped chatting in streams, even though the streams have far more viewers now than they did a few years ago.
This.
They do not need to chat or post on the forums and risk making comments that may be deemed controversial or unprofessional by their bosses. They can simply answer questions, address any issues, or rant about whatever they want on the Kombat Kast in front of thousands of people for an hour on most Wednesdays.
Lol we already have a tym tourney series, we have weekly team battles and monthly tourneys. But we moved to discord cause it’s easier to organize and we even got some pros playing with us.
These bitches so far gone they aren't even on our level yet lmao
I know. The arguement is used here as some half as justification as to why NRS ignores it. Maybe that’s taking away from the real issue of site quality.
No it isn’t. I followed sonic fox for mk stuff and ended up with gay porn on my timeline.
reddit: the upvoting system puts posts, what most users think is valuable: upwards, the downvoting: the opposite + hiding the content
You say this and then literally 8 posts up from yours on the same page:
What exactly does "dealt with" mean then? Having transphobes just edit their posts (with specific omissions)?
I've talked with Steph and others at NRS and I don't think it has to do with toxicity at all. All the platforms have toxic people look at the mileenas on Twitter or anyone on reddit.
What is wrong with that post?
No, it's not the first time. Same happened on the pre release event.
