East Cost Thrown Down insta banned him, followed by others. Then CapCom itself.

He apologized but it didn't help.

Karma's a bitch.

"I didn't mean any harm by it" is a funny way to say "I thought I was popular enough to be beyond consequence."

Here's to hoping the more tremendous offenders in the scene meet the same fate.

It's an understatement to say 2020 has been challenging for a lot of people.

People are going to try to minimize or defend this kinda of nonsense but I say good riddance to anyone who feels the need to add to the already big pile of sh*t we're already dealing with.

His half-assed not-pology made it worse and then his self righteous "I'm being unfairly punished" after ever more so.

I'm sorry, but could someone explain what the bad part of the tweet is? I honestly don't understand. Is it the shape of the watermelon? Is it because it's on a stove? Or is it only the hashtag?

Black people are often stereotyped to like watermelon, and Black Lives Matter has been a big thing as I’m sure you know. It just comes across as very sensitive.

Before its subversion in the Jim Crow era, the fruit symbolized black self-sufficiency.

Please stop. Nobody is minimizing and defending Filipino Champ's tweet. I have only seen people point out the double standard with respect to Mike Z because Sonic Fox "feels" he is not racist. LOL.

That was a very good read. Every American ought to read that piece.

 

[Popegina]

The tweet was dumb, but an indefinite ban is fucking retarded, unless he has a history of this shit. I swear, the FGC is the most sensitive group in the world.

Just seems like immaturity

People in America can get fired for opposing Black Lives Matter. An LA Galaxy soccer player was also fired because his wife posted racist content on social media. So I would claim that the so-called "Cancel Culture" is very strong despite what several Eventhubs users may have to say.

Fchamp has been a massive piece of shit for over a decade and never faced any repercussions for it because he's effectively in the capcom inner circle (same reason why Noel brown has never been banned for life from everything).

This one was finally too big to ignore, couldn't have happened to a better scumbag.

 

[SaSSolino]

This cancel culture is a cancer. Americans need to grow up.

 

[Evil Canadian]

He apologized but it didn't help.

his apology is fake as fuck and went on attacking people not even 1 hour after posting it.

fchamp is a true piece of shit and needed to go away forever ago this is long long long overdue

 

[Popegina]

Someone should've just responded to his tweet with "tiny dicks matter" and we can all go on with our lives without childish, meaningless, social politics

 

[Marinjuana]

Yeah that's over the top

 

[kingjolly]

I don’t think a lifetime ban is deserved. A slap on the wrist sure...but nothing this permanent. I’m black btw. I’m just not a big fan of people losing jobs over things they say on social media.

He has always been arrogant, loud, and obnoxious, but I have heard from people who are close to him that he enjoys playing the "villain" in the fighting game community.

The cancel culture is as inconsistent as Kitana's razors. LOL.

Have you seen Mike Z's outrageous comment on stream? Something to the extent of "This rush down is crazy! I would even dare say that... he cannot breathe!"

Yet he was defended by Sonic Fox and other social justice warriors.

In life, there are consequences for doing stupid things. Not much else to say. Case closed.

That whole very, very, VERY tired line is to make an excuse for him being a piece of trash. He's been openly racist to many people over the years at many tournaments, just ask kaneblueriver. Let alone just being a poor person to be around.
Back in the day he used to go around screaming in peoples ears while they were playing their tournament sets, that's like the smallest of the things he's done and even thats over the line.

fuck him, no more excuses.

Should've been banned for that alone
