Nah callouts are pretty fun. If someone is gonna tweet some salty poo poo about how the dude who just beat them is terrible, they deserve whatever ribbing they get. The difference is Chris crossed a line by using an offensive slur.

It's not Mr. Wizard's job to be a PR Professional, it's his job to run EVO and he does a great job of it every year.

Mr. Wizard goes out of his way to be antagonistic to the east coast. I think a part of the reason VXG is getting so much east coast support is that people in the east coast scene are tired of dealing with an organization that blatantly does not favor them.

He actually does use a lot of derogatory terms. I don't know if it's conditioning or what but it seems like people don't hold him against it because they've come to expect this from such a polarizing personality of the FGC who's known for being an offensive rear end in a top hat. I've even see him on his own stream use the word "human being," but when Ricky is over he refrains from using it despite it still entering his mind.

I think it's just the train of continual gently caress-ups ChrisG's been riding lately that highlight anything he does wrong. Someone needs to give these guys some sensitivity training or something.

Non-training stages cause severe slowdown on PS3 because Capcom is bad at making games.

E: In marvel 3 that is. It's not as bad in SF4.

Yeah it really sucks that there's no low-detail stages that have a bright background. Bonne Wonderland is the one true stage for clear, visible streams but (I guess) even such a simple stage has too much going on in the background for the poor PS3 version.

I guess that does suck. I understand the complaint, on the other hand I kinda see it like how golf can and will change course designs to force you to be on your game.

Of course as we're posting this they chose a different stage. I guess if both players agree then it's cool?

Couple of my friends are color blind and cannot see the game very well on any stage beyond Bonne Wonderland and SHIELD Airshow, heard a few others have the issue and that's the only solution for them, even on a 360 where it could play on every stage.

Bonne Wonderland is generally lagless but some people would rather not risk it I guess.

Minorities using slurs against other minorities is no different than any one else using them. I say this as someone who belongs to a minority group and who has known too many flat out bigoted people who belong to minority groups.

Someone being a part of one minority doesn't mean that they can't marginalize other minorities. There are plenty of women who are racist or speak out against gays or any various combination of the above you want to say and gay-bashing don't know no race or gender limitations.

Minority does not just refer to pure numbers but also to social position. It usually referred to in full as "minority and women" (such as in the Office of Minority and Women Inclusion) but the two go hand-in-hand in almost every situation. Because they do not have equal representation they are considered a 'minority' as if you would refer to it when discussing votes/representation.
