Yeah, it has always cost money to attend an MLG event in person so that's nothing new. Even many FGC tournaments have a venue fee for spectators so it's not a big deal
Also, the "$20 everyone was saying" was not even for Winter Championship, it was for Winter Arena, which was this past weekend. Pretty sure Winter Championship stream is free to watch unless you want HD -- http://i49.tinypic.com/anio39.gif ... Copied to Clipboard!

"Someone brings up an instance of someone yelling the world "b**** over and over as a female player competed, and then screamed for her rape when she lost. What is unacceptable about that?"
Ehhh, this was completely out of context. The example being referenced was when a female character (phoenix) was being played. Not when it was a female at the controls. It should NOT, mind you, be acceptable to scream "Rape the B****!" during a match, but they could at least portray the example properly. -- ~C~ Eff_Dee http://img.imgcake.com/FDjpgyb.jpg ...

yeah Kuchera's been called out on that directly on twitter so he'll probably edit that
but if you don't even know the game well enough to know its characters you definitely don't know the community well enough to write an article about it without getting direct sources instead of f***ing FORUM POSTS. -- (10:17:09 PM) Ed Bellis: i think pac-man just keeps repeating, for instance (10:17:26 PM) ertyu: ya well tell that to billy michtlle ...

From: Forceful_Dragon | #156 I understand his point, but his all-or-nothing approach to the arcade rat mentality is more harmful than it ever was good. The community is very big on tradition, and 50% of the reason we don't want to jump right into the lap of esports (The other 50% being the shaky foundation of esports as a whole) is because it means taking away a lot of the soul of fighting games, be it toning the hype down or making it more about the paper than it is about the playing. But there's room for compromise. You can be the class clown without being an ignoramus. You can get hype without having to drop and F-bomb every second. (We do it at Evo every year for four or five different majors) I couldn't give less of a crap about esports, but if this is the direction the community wants to go in, we need less people like Aris trying to split the community down the middle. -- I like how each new topic you make reveals such varied facets of your idiocy. - foolmo [NO BARKLEY NO PEACE] ...

I don't think the eSports is necessarily lacking in hype.
I stayed up until 2 AM to watch Flash and Jaedong play in the finals of a MSL a couple years ago live on stream. It was pretty ****ing hype. You can distill the scene to be almost completely about the game and STILL be excited to see the best players in the world compete. -- ~C~ Eff_Dee http://img.imgcake.com/FDjpgyb.jpg ...

I'm starting to see reactions from a lot of people outside the community who have read the articles now.
It's gonna be hard for this community, because it's not like anyone is gonna cut Aris off because of this, but when other people see that the community forgives/ignores/gets over/forgets what he did and still includes him, they're gonna give them s*** about it and think it means FGC encourages sexism or some bullcrap -- [NO BARKLEY NO PEACE] If you can't slam with the best, then jam with the rest. ...

From: WazzupGenius00 | #173 The only issue here is that s*** got out of hand and now we've got people who didn't even know the FGC was even a thing commenting on the state of things. I'll be the first person to note that Aris f***ed up, but that's where it begins and ends. The only problem is that Aris is somehow put on a pedestal to be a representative of our community, but nobody actually believes that on the inside. I'm not saying we don't have issues with sexism in the community, or that we seriously need to change our attitude towards certain things, but we're not as far off as Destructoid or Giant Bomb think we are. And frankly, Miranda had a lot more reasons to quit aside from Aris.

She said on twitter that she "had one-on-one conversations" with him about it and "he didn't give a s***" so unless you think she would lie about this and then give up a chance at 25k over a lie, then it's confirmed. Spooky also said on stream that Capcom talked to him but I didn't catch whether he said what day they talked to him.
