Remain convinced the only good community in games is the fighting game community. But, alas, they engage in the bad shit too from time to time.
I firmly believe that it's because you can get punched IRL for being out of line
Yeah arcades/local fight game spots are cool because people gather in person, so there's less of a problem of someone being a shithead because they get booted or shunned.
I dunno the sexism is pretty bad especially when they complain about the woman fighters boobs being smaller or whatever
since I'm a newbie and just getting into SF6, I've been trying to find good streamers to watch that haven't been "cancelled" or problematic or are ragers when they lose. mainly stick with Justin Wong, Maximilian, and Japanese streamers lol.
Smug is real good as well from when I watch his stuff.
The smash community has been pretty horrific over the years even by gamer standards.
Street fighter just got a massive influx of new fgc players so I can’t really tell.
Guilty gear community is very supportive of Bridget
By the sheer virtue of being a mixed bag the fighting game community probably wins least toxic.
There's something about Nintendo fandoms that makes them more tribalistic and toxic on average than competing equivalents.
I think they ment the sex crimes part
Well that too. The intersection of "family friendly" labeling (which means predators have a slightly easier time reaching children there because they're simply that much more available to reach as a norm) and really regressive nostalgic memberberries marketing for Nintendo products (which leads to tribalistic bullshit and toxicity) seems to enhance both issues.
