I mean... not everything is for everyone?  I feel like you’re looking less for someone to convince you of the series being good / why they like it as much as you want to feel better than people who do.

Well, yeah - why do you think the police use agent provocateurs?

naw, this would be a problem no matter what

ACAB dipshits in the comments failing to realize the city of New York and the NYPD responded like they did precisely because he didn't file the paper work so nobody had any clue what was going on when thousands of people showed up at one spot and started getting unruly.

He told everyone to show up at a given time and didn’t bother to give the city any heads up.

You want to point us towards a similar event to show us this scale of yours? It’s accident brought about by poor planning. You need a permit to do just about anything in NYC. He knows better, he just didn’t care. Let him get punished for once.

Incitement to riot doesn’t require that you tell people to be violent - it simply requires that your actions encourage people to riot, whether that is your intent or not, spoken or not.

Hmm should I use my wealth to buy gift cards for a charity? PS5s for a children’s hospital? Raise awareness for literally any sort of cause?

The real reason is that it’s on every single list out there, while there are games on this list that aren’t on any. I wanted to offer a fair mix of games people already knew, and those they might not.

I decided it’s a roguelite, and that was my reason for not including it. I don’t think a game can count as a Metroidvania when you have to start over every 34 seconds : )

I dunno, people online giving him hate (harrassing him) for what? showing frustration? People using this moment to attack his character or level of play is whack.

just out of curiosity, do you know how many of those tennis players have gone on to physically harm other people and not just their own equipment? Because some of the comments here make it sound like they’re all dangerous sociopaths.  

This isn’t a matter of ‘Privilege’ it’s a matter of impulse control. Pretty much (minus some ultra rare exceptions) everyone has the impulse to smash things or lash out when experiencing intense frustration, I’ve watched poor af people break their keyboards and rich af footballers stomp their little feet...it’s…

On the other hand it seems incongruous for the same community that loves pop offs, players disrespecting each other, chooses this incident to be sanctimonious about. I mean, showing this lack of restraint is not good form, but it's not the outrageous act some people are making it out to be. 

This shouldn’t be a story it happens at, at least half of smash tournaments. Smash community is easily the biggest drama queens of the FGC but someone spiking their own controller really only causes themselves problems and everyone else gets a chuckle out of their childish behavior. People saying this makes people “suf…

Yeah, if he’d thrown it *at* somebody, or physically or verbally assaulted his opponent (or anyone else), sure. I mean, it’s obviously not a good look, and he’s probably embarrassed about it, but what exactly are people suggesting should be done?

You would also scold your kids for drinking alcohol, having sex, et cetera - are you going to hold “professionals” to those same standards too?

“It keeps happening”?

Figthing gamer gets angry? What’s the big deal? They’re tournaments. You lose you get angry. As long as it didn’t hurt anybody or damage any property it’s fine.

I think it depends on the person. If it makes them feel better and cool down faster then that’s alright as long as they’re not hurting anyone. It’s not good if it makes them angrier or it becomes habitual and they need to rage more aggressively to get the same relief.
