Marvel vs Capcom player is banned from multiple events following allegations of sexual assault
Andre Howard, well-known as "OMGItzAndre", has received the center of attention in the fighting game community (FGC). In a stream, accusations were made from a """"""""""female"""""""""" fighting game player who claimed that Andre has preyed and raped her. Despite the inconclusive evidence of Andre's actions, multiple tournament organizers have stepped in with wall-of-text tweets to defend the unknown """"""""""female"""""""""" accuser by banning Andre from future tournaments.

This isn't the first claimed incident of sexual assault that has occurred in the FGC. In 2012, Aris Bakhtanians, a Tekken 7 player, was caught saying that he wanted to rape a redhead girl who he was coaching at the time. In 2013, Noel Brown, an Ultra Street Fighter 4 player, was revealed in beating his girlfriend, and in 2016, was caught grabbing a handful of ass from a """"""""""female"""""""""" player at a Capcom Cup premier tournament.

Is Andre's banned justified despite the lack of evidence of sexual assault?

this is a misleading title. he wasn't banned for raping. he was banned for allegedly raping. there is no evidence he did it and the case is still pending.

it's fucked up if he did it, and hopefully the law catches up with him, if that's the case, but what's this about?

""""""""""female""""""""""

The FGC has its fair share of questionable people in it.

The lack of social awareness comes through hard

""""""""""female""""""""""

I would assume it means that the accusor is trans considering biological women don't go to the fgc
