Is there a way to make sure a thread won't show up for me anymore? Can I block it somehow?
This thread is so derailed and the train crashed and is now on fire. No survivors.
Just don’t click on the thread bud. SF’s speech was political, thus so is this thread, aka it’s on topic. When people discuss politics it gets heated, usually because either side is never EVER going to conceed and actually listen to the other side. The left thinks the right are misogynistic, racist, facist nazi’s. The right thinks the left are politically correct communist snowflakes who want to destroy America. I’ve seen it so much and it never does any good especially when it’s text based arguments.

My point is, the best course of action is to let the people in here say whatever they want and get it out of their system. The thread will die eventually then everyone will only be talking about MK11. So basically, ignore it.

It is better this way

This is honestly a really accurate description. I live in RURAL NEW MEXICO so as you can imagine it’s pretty polarized. You’re either considered a racist, sexist, homophobic, bigoted conservative who just can’t wait for the wall to go up. OR you’re a pussified, entitled, communist liberal who subscribes to all 97 genders. The people on the far ends of both spectrums ruin it for the more level headed people on both sides and kill any chance for discussion.

95% of TYM discussion: "It's fine"
Literally no one cares you're gay or black or democrat.. but it is really sad to see a grown man wear a childs suit for attention. Even more pathetic to insult others at an acceptance speech and to be even more hateful on Twitter. Good luck with that

Nerds...listen. Do we all forget that the kid is ONLY 20!! HE'S NOT EVEN LEGAL ENOUGH TO DRINK! Yeah his delivery was not the best but he's clearly not a public speaker, clearly he was nervous, and clearly he has never been on a grand scale to accept such an award.

Was what he said a blanket statement, yes. BUT he feels that way because unfortunately that's his life! You cannot be mad at somebody who speaks from their own experiences. We see how he's been treated by people who do not like his stance. We see the hate and it is from the far right. If his experiences were different then he wouldn't have said what he said.

And if you're mad for a person simply telling HIS story, then un-fucking-subscribe. It's that simple. Live YOUR life and let the kid live his SUCCESSFULLY. PERIOD!

Just when I thought this thread couldn't get any better the last 3/4 pages were gold. Sonic wanted to spark conversation and boy did he deliver... This young man doesn't take a L.

In my 8 years of visiting this site, there has never ever been any divides within the community dealing with identity politics...

Every other pocket of our lives is dominated by these types of arguments... can we please just not fall into this here... this has always been a very tight/INCLUSIVE community...

And when I mean inclusive I don’t just mean minority groups but for people of more conservative backgrounds as well..

Let’s not over analyze sonic fox’s comments and just get on with the mk11 hype train!!

I'm surprised there isn't more in this thread about the salty CSGO players on twitter whining about how complex their games are and insisting that fighting games are just "mashing buttons," talking about how fox didn't deserve the award.
THAT PART! How in the Bloody Roar HELL are you gonna say, "It's more difficult to win a shooting game with a team." VS winning BY YOURSELF in multiple games? The fuck kinda bath salts was that kid sniffing?

got dayum. I had to watch the speech again, just to remember all the good stuff. You guys have really taken a giant shit on this moment. The number of non-community goons hung up on a half second non-sequitur is why we need more of the real fgc up on the stage saying them.

Shut the fuck up. Thanks.
You are annoying. Shut the fuck up. No one cares about your shitty opinion and how you found that cringy talk "awesome" and the "best moment of the fighting game community". Jesus you are as cringy as him

Stop bringing this LGBT stuff to every fricking thing you see on the internet. You may care a lot, but I dont give a fuck. You are gay? Cool. I dont care. Stop bugging me about how you are gay and proud of it.

Never liked the guy, I actually hate his guts, but he really deserved it. If he kept his mouth shut he would've deserved it a billion times more, he made it into an another cringe fest

Can we just talk about one main point here... all republicans do not “hate gay and black people” like sonic actually said!

Every time I see a sane person bring this up they are basically called a liar and a nazi. I have NEVER been able to have a real conversation with anyone who is hard left or hard right. Their “team” can do no wrong and they are just waiting for their turn to talk.

So. Do people REALLY think it was ok to say all republicans hate black people and gay people? 40% of African Americans were shown to vote republicans in the presidential election on cnn of all places.

Every wants to just ignore the most inaccurate thing he said and just pump their fist in the air.


Let’s not forget when he posted “all black top 3 black awesomeness” at a recent tournament. What if someone white said “look all white top 3! White awesomeness! They would be called a nazi.

Agree! It’s like browns fans trying to convince Steelers fans to switch sides. Nobody is truly listening.
