At this point, it'd just give them more information to dox her with, and it's really not her responsibility to prove her gender to them and it's something that really doesn't matter in the end. 

Why? She shows a webcam they’ll just claim it’s doctored footage. She set up a camera that shows her hands, face and stream all at once, they’ll find another way to disregard her skills. The goalpost will always move no matter what she does.

Also, on the flip side it shouldn’t matter if she waits til some event to…

Ellie is one of very few women in Blizzard’s Overwatch Contenders league, and some fans speculated that she could be any number of notable male players impersonating a woman.

Esports is not a meritocracy; it’s a male-dominated scene in which gender essentialism runs rampant, and in which women are often made to feel unwelcome.

Insecurity, self-esteem issues, sexist attitudes, and entitlement of stellar proportions.

Guess it’s just another one of those days that I’m embarrassed of the culture surrounding my primary hobby. What is wrong with people?

Just because you have the ability to comment doesn’t necessarily mean that you should.

And THIS is why context matters. It’s not an intense rivalry, there’s no hard feelings, it’s just hype. As you admit, you aren’t a part of the FGC as a whole, and aren’t a part of this sub-community at all. Why comment on it at all if you don’t know,

Let’s not go that far — the PS1 Classic feeling like a cynical, rushed attempt to cash in on the NES/SNES Classic’s success doesn’t cancel out Sony’s incredible stable of critically acclaimed and commercially successful first-party games, which has been its biggest advantage all generation.

I come from a land without Jack in the Box. So on a trip to Vegas, I made sure to try one of these.

Like clockwork, you haters show up every Hondadays to denounce the one True Car, Honda.

That’s like saying you can’t own a song, cause we all have voices. Can’t own a book, cause we all have fingers to write. Can’t own a game, cause can all type code. Absurd argument.

Fun fact: Microsoft sent me the adaptive controller, along with a foot pedal.

I am paralyzed from the chest down. 

^ This is a good point that I neglected to mention. Thanks!

The reason they don’t let you switch characters between matches is because you have separate rankings per character which matchmaking supposedly takes into effect...except it clearly doesn’t because it just throws random people into random matches together.

I agree with most of these issues, but I just want to reiterate - in a game with 74 characters, I can’t change my character between online matches without dropping out of the queue. Which is extra strange, because I’m pretty sure I could swap out between matches in Smash 4? The lag and the issues with finding matches…

Nintendo can’t get online right. We used to chant “at least it was free”. Now what is the excuse? 

I’ve seen a lot of varied suggestions, not to mention the huge clamor for “BRING BACK FOR FUN/FOR GLORY,” but easily one of the best and easiest to implement ideas I’ve heard is also the simplest:

Remember when Our President was smarter than most of us? And could read? And write? Remember what it was like to have an intelligent President?
