OK, damn. I know, I barely won a match tonight, so I might be a little frustrated and thinking unreasonably, but fuck online video games. Some guy just came up to me and crouch/stand/crouch mashed after a win. Yeah, that’s right, I got teabagged. In Blazblue, a game in which I liked the feeling of knowing that I at least had some evidence that the playerbase was not composed of a type of clownish, drooling human being. This was after a long night of losses and incredibly terrible netcode performance trying to fish for matches. Closest I’ve ever come to throwing my stick out the window. Should I just drop Tao and learn to HELLZUFANGU like 90% of the people I played tonight? Will it make a difference?

Im not homophobic or anything but considering that 95% of gamers are straight shoulden’t they just keep doing what there doing? I have friends who are gay so i don’t have a problem with it but when i play a game and i see 2 guys in a love scene it does turn me off to the game. If its two girls on the other hand….

—Destructoid commenter, not that there’s anything wrong with that

Also I think it’s fair enough for gamers who have been playing for years being a bit snobbish of the new casual scene, it is a little stupid. Kind of like if you’d been literate for years but you were a minority then the rest of the world decides readings allright because Harry Potter got released, but once they’ve read that they go back to picking zuchinis as the book doesn’t take them past the intuitive hurdle necessary to enjoy more complicated material.

—Incomprehensible 1up poster - what’s this about minorities picking zucchinis?

Saying something is gay does not imply homophobia. I don’t care much for gay people. But that is not because I am afraid of them; I just find them annoying in their mannerisms and such (especially gay men). I don’t treat them differently because of their gayness, but I do make gay jokes (as well as jokes about all sorts of other people) and use “that’s gay” on occasion; there is no malice behind it when I say it.

god damn… i was really excited about this game… now i think i have to refuse to buy it… that is unless the entire game is about killing fitty the POS clones
