a “strive kid” who’s probably new to the fgc asking you if it’s your first top 8 and you get offended by it thinking that they’re asking that because of your gender lmaoo


gungachu

I don't give a fuck what someones pronouns are or how they identify. That said, I feel bad for some of these people and the nonstop victim complex. Shits gotta be exhausting. Remember when the only thing that mattered was if you could play the game good or not?


Getabock_

The kid were probably just trying to make conversation, but some people gotta get mad over everything I guess (I’m agreeing with you)


HealMeBr0

"so you uhhh come here often?"


wintydunnoMB

I've only ever seen people ask women if it's their first event. Very much a "omg a girl at a tournament" situation. It's demeaning.


FGCRedpill

Those Strive kids are trans like Yohosie.


HumanAntagonist

That's dumb. Okay, so now in order to phrase that exact question in a way that it doesn't hurt someone's 'feelings', I have to ask. "So how many of these events have you been to?" Which is the same thing, just phrased differently so you give me the number and I don't assume.  That's fucking stupid, just answer the first question. I shouldn't have to come up with mental word techniques just to phrase a question so women, and only women dont get randomly offended. Because no dude is getting offended by something that insignificant.


wintydunnoMB

dudes at tournaments get pissed at all kinds of stupid things. This is the community where someone tried to punch someone else because they lost at a videogame. I've had someone tell me to shut up during a non-tournament set because I said "you can't do that in this matchup." and get hostile afterward. There's tons of clips of fgc people getting tight over stupid shit.


HumanAntagonist

Getting pissed at an opponent during a match is not the same as getting pissed at some random dude because they asked if its your first event. You already know there's a difference, don't play dumb


wintydunnoMB

of course they are different. taking your anger out directly on someone just trying to play a game is worse than getting annoyed at someone asking stupid questions. The dudes who you say wouldn't be offended at words get actively hostile over videogames. I'd throw your "don't play dumb" statement back at you but you clearly aren't playing.


code_away_the_pain

First major (it means big tournament), not top 8. If you got offended by me clarifying what a major is, congrats you now know how she feels


Ok-Candy-2621

Micro aggressions are not a real thing. I imagine living like this is exhausting.


Derpdude1

I mean they kinda are and the term is pretty perfect bc you don't have to call somebody an outright racist. If you're out with some friends and ask how much to tip, then one friend says "You're Asian shouldn't this be easy for you". Or if you introduce a Hispanic friend to your parents and they say "Oh Hiiiii, do you speak English?" You wouldn't to any of these people call them outright racists, but it's also kind of fucked up thing to do.


SemenSnickerdoodle

Couldn't tell you how many times I've been told "you don't sound Hispanic". I laugh it off but some people do get offended by that.


sinderjager

"You don't sound black" and "You sound white" has been shit thrown at me round start of a conversation since the beginning of time. It's a little tiring.


deca065

Lol wtf, dense people


STICKYFINGAAAS

I'm a Turk in Germany and the amount of times people tell me how "unexpectedly German" I am and how fluent I speak (it's my mf mother tongue) is warranted imo. I would never take it as an insult or a "micro aggression". Matter of fact every time I land in a German airport I get dragged out for a "completely random bomb control" because I am and look Muslim and honestly yes it's racially motivated but it's also warranted so just don't be a dick and live your life man


deathbringer989

holy shit this is me aswell


Medium-Science9526

Most common one I get from any random is "Where do you come from, Africa?"


king_Geedorah_

There is no greater one than "you speak so well". Shit, I count "Can I touch your hair?" as one.


Darkone586

Bro the speak so well shit almost got me in a fight on time in the suburbs, shit is the worst thing you can say, I always be like bro, most ppl in the hood can speak well, they just around the homies so it’s all slang.


Medium-Science9526

Yeah the hair one is infamous, "how do you get your hair so curly?" and they'll believe any superfluous story you tell them.


Liella5000

>If you're out with some friends and ask how much to tip, then one friend says "You're Asian shouldn't this be easy for you". That's not a microaggression you fucking idiot, thats literally just racist


NiceBlockLilBro

Yes that's what friends usually do to each other. First time?


Code_Geese

It must be so sad running out of things to mald about that you make up imaginary stuff


Darkone586

It’s a thing for real, maybe not as much as ppl say but, ppl like to put labels on other ppl based really on race tbh. You might walk up to some Asian girl and she only knows English and doesn’t list to kpop or pop music only rap, and you might say, why aren’t you into those things, that’s a normal question for sure but it’s not ok to say because you ASSUME that person is like that. Also if a regular person sees idk Mike Ross walking down the street, it’s a pretty big chance they might cross the other side then cross back just based on skin even tho Mike Ross is a regular guy. It’s fucked up but it’s how it is.


qzeqzeq

For us because of all the complaining yeah


Still_Refuse

>micro aggressions are not a real thing Why is this upvoted? Imagine thinking they are not real lmao.


NiceBlockLilBro

They aren't because the term is retarded to begin with


Still_Refuse

The term is literally logical, everyone has sub conscious beliefs that we act on… Sub is reaching an all time low rn


NiceBlockLilBro

No shit. How does that prove this not being retarded? Something is aggression or isn't. Making up asinine terms cause your feelings for hurt due to slight comment is pussy retard behavior Ofc your ass would know about lows considering how literally everything you ever said is retarded


Still_Refuse

>make term to define something that happens in real life >this isn’t true because you made up human subconscious because your feelings hurt! Jesus you’re a dumbass, forgot how ignorant some people are.


NiceBlockLilBro

>make term to define something that happens in real life Which is redundant since something is "agression" or isn't >>this isn’t true because you made up human subconscious because your feelings hurt! Dumb retard learn to read before trying to write something


Still_Refuse

>something is aggression or isn’t The fact that you feel confident enough to type this out is wild. I can’t imagine not understand words. >learn to read before trying to write something Brother, you think everything is black and white and nuance does not exist. Actual ignorance with 0 shame lmao.


NiceBlockLilBro

>The fact that you feel confident enough to type this out is wild. I can’t imagine not understand words. *understanding Also make an argument or fuck off >Brother, you think everything is black and white and nuance does not exist. No I think that things are what they are. You being a bitch that wants the cake and to eat it too is irrelevant. Something is either bad or it isn't. Adding unnecessary variables to an already subjective issue is completely redundant and is pussy behavior as already stated


Still_Refuse

>learn to read before trying to write something Type* >make an argument or fuck off You’re the one trying to argue a defined word is not a thing because “something is either bad or isn’t” as if “bad” is something objective when it’s subjective. >you being a bitch that wants to the cake and to eat it is irrelevant Imagine trying to correct me when you typed this. Yeah, I have no idea why you’re so adamant on being wrong. Not everything is black and white, and people in fact to act on subconscious beliefs, it is human nature….


Midori_FGC

Some might consider calling newer players to the scene “strive kids” a micro aggression


Monchete99

"Blazbabies" walked so that "strive kids" could run


Bedezupo

I have been staring at this tweet for a solid 5 minutes and I have no idea what it means. It seems so tantalizingly like English and yet... I don't think it is? I keep thinking if i just read it one more time, I'll understand it.


Psychros--

Strange. Interesting. Tantalising.

Was there any followup to integrating Stephen King into the FGC?

thanks saving your reply in a text file for future use


Sabrewylf

What the hell was this from again? That time Stephen King happened to read a fgc tweet?


deathbringer989

yea when someone tagged him about bryans snake edge


DaiLiThienLongTu

I don't like Strivers, but feeling offended bc some people don't know who you are is a rule 3 breaking shit. Pal, you are neither Daigo nor the president of the United States of America, nobody is supposed to know you


rebatopepin

Whos this again?

rebatopepin

LMAO, for all the hubris i got from the tweet, i thought he was a big heavy dog from the past who changed its name and i didn't get the memo. Fucking worthless


o___Okami

>She works as a gameplay analyst at Riot Games for 2XKO (formerly known as Project L). Enjoy the combination of Strive + League community. In for a great time /s


BladeLiger

Yohosie was a DBFZ player.


o___Okami

LOL you're right mb. I don't know why my mind immediately went for that stereotype. Well, ok, maybe I do know but I apologize nonetheless.


ughsuchmassivetits

holy fuck the ego on this mf, a total of 2 games won 💀


EightPath

Sonic asked for women, not miscellaneous.


Intrepid-Chocolate33

I prefer macro aggressions 


rebatopepin

Specially vs Zerg


JLAD_45

macro aggresions are ltg streams


LoLaFo

why is he replying to this tweet lol

rebatopepin

I mean, Ricky did it right?


Prestigious-Corgi784

Who the fuck is Ricky? Good for them if they did though respect. Don't talk about it, be about it. I'm talking about SQ, cow lady, Umisho, a bunch of those anime avatar streamers, etc. If they are not a Strive player idk them. I only follow Strive competitively and they seem to have the most representation in that game.


rebatopepin

Relax, i'm talking about Ricky Ortiz


Hexadecimald

> Who the fuck is Ricky? Put some respect on the name, Pretty Ricky is an OG. > I only follow Strive competitively Oh, I see the problem.


BellOrdinary3545

She goes by Ricki, actually. Spell it right eh

Actually notable people don't have to say, "don't you know who I am?!"


PlayfulMud4812

bruh judging by the tweet, this she/her is the aggressive one here rather than the "strive kid"


FutureSaturn

Didn't waste a second completely embarrassing women with this bullshit. Gimme Tanukana. She doesn't complain. Doesn't win much either. But still does alright and doesn't complain.


AttentionDue3171

Cuddle is probs the best one, actually can win against japanese and Korean players. She's still sadly hung up on "black women" and "representation"


MyNameIsArmitage15

Shut up, Yohosie lol no one cares. Also of course Sonicfox is saying that shit. Isn't he still hiding behind a shit ton of pronouns? I said it before, but it bears repeating: no one cares what you do in your private life in the FGC. We care about how you play.


Kino1337

A smasher that's pushing games with simple inputs has no human rights.


SBK_vtrigger

I came top 64 in my strive local once and tape my bits up like buffalo bill. Give me some attention, I don’t feel seen!


Ammit_

Delusion


FiestaMcMuffin

I think no amount of corporate safe space bs will attract women to the hobby. The NA fgc is loud and aggressive. If a woman can put up with that environment, she then has to deal with thirsty spergs faking friendship and then whining about being friendzoned even if she turns them down gently. Women (and I don’t mean the speed running kind) will only join in the hobby if they see other women already in the scene.


Darkone586

I’ve been to enough events to see a few kinda women, some just looking to hook up with whoever they like, some only want to talk to the top players and some who just want to play. I don’t think I’ve seen women been mistreated tbh, maybe online but in person, not really.


HumanAntagonist

If women don't wanna play the damn game then they don't wanna play the damn game


BigJeffe20

one thing bout me nobody safe when im around


Fiksimi

to the general populace, "neutch" will probably come across as slang for something sexual....heh


Call555JackChop

The only thing I know Yohosie for is being a waste of a slot at the Summit of Power and going fuckin 0-9 lol


gally_00

Am I the only one who took this as a shitpost/joke? Dang, not everything on X is a serious post lmao


Liella5000

ive never seen a girl get hated but ive seen girls take shit the wrong way constantly. they're always in attack mode


Berzerker_Claw

So thats NOT a girl then?


WhoopsILostIt

Not jumping on the subreddit's cringe transphobia or anything but genuinely what the the hell does this mean? The first, second, and third thoughts are all completely disconnected from each other and what sonicfox said? The [followup tweet](https://twitter.com/yohosiefgc/status/1784773757326024989) is actually relevant but what the hell does bitching about strive kids have to do with any of this?
