Yeah. OK. Enjoy your democracy where people are killed by death squads. I’m sure everything will work out.

It’s not the difference betweena purchase or a consumption, dipshit. It’s the difference between doing something OUTSIDE of a country and bringing something INTO A COUNTRY’S BORDERS.

How about Amnsesty International? Are they fake news?

Exactly. That works out to about 3% of the annual household income. Also, it adds a layer of bureaucracy. You can’t be interested in Tekken and see a thing online and think “huh, I’ve never played competitive Tekken before. Maybe I’ll go down and see what this thing is about tomorrow.” You have to commit and come up…

Holy fucking false equivalence, Batman! Banning the import of a substance or object is not the same thing as punishing people for consuming it legally in their own territory well before traveling into yours.

Uhhh you should probably see what the Phillipines does when the think you’re a drug user

You’re a garbage shit man.

It isn’t the tax on the events earnings that we’re worried about. It’s the fact that this can, and likely will, cut down on tournament participation. $16 is pretty big, especially when you consider that majority of people playing in tournaments don’t necessarily consider themselves “pro”, and are just looking to…

Testing positive for something that was entirely legal by both the league rules and the country in which you actually consumed…

I know people already got to you with some of this, but for the sake of completion.

Do you even realize they shoot supposed “drug users” right there on the street? Or were you expecting some kind of trial/review? lol

Want to defeat your opponent without even playing against him? Simply tell the local Duterte Death squad that you saw him doing drugs.

“This is a bad thing for fighting game events since the majority of our attendees aren’t ‘professional’ and are simply there for the experience and to play games, not to actually win the damn thing.”

Maybe it’s because that country likes to murder drug users without any repercussions.

THEY EXECUTE YOU FOR TESTING POSITIVE

It’s about the part where people are being murdered with impunity on trumped up drug charges and that these tests might lead to competitors being murdered. This is not hyperbole, people are being murdered with impunity.
