i thought twitter was the easy way to post more than 140 characters on twitter
isnt it 280 now
I need some overall context Leg
how young are all of these girls?
like 15
or younger
and Zero in in his 20s or 30s
I assume
probably young 20s
With that one kid, who was abused by the chick
he was ~10
he was 14
he looked ~10
I'm not against people owning up to what they did/didn't do, and a lot of it is supper scummy
but at the same time, some of the drama (both from the fighting game scene and the Twitch #metoo stuff in general)
is really murky
I just worry we're going to head down a path, where people <18 are going to be frozen out of stuff
due to people being terrified of them being a minor
the serious allegations are too terrible to let anything light slide, especially from someone who lived at a main instigator's house
an actual pedo ring has surfaced at this point
some of it is terrible, I just hope we don't all become Gent and spur on a puritan wave
I think they should just ask nintendo for help
No company wants to deal with this shit
get 3rd party audits of all important community members and provide training to tournament organizers
Heh
their brand is caring for kids and this is a nintendo game
The fire rises
al of that though, is such a massive headache Leg, they'd rather just revert to thair old position
of "fuck tournments"
It would be tragic if children couldn’t attend events wouldn’t it
I couldn’t imagine
Such a world
the best players all got started really young
mkleo was winning everything at 16
Yeah and the best players touched kids who were really young
It is a children’s video game tbf
not mkleo
Kinda retarded if you cut out the intended demographic
so far
I genuinely have no qualms over kicking kids out
I feel bad for kids, because I remember how much it sucks to be locked out of stuff solely due to age
Better at home than underneath a smash player
there just needs to be much stricter parent/guardian rules
It’s the cycle of revenge spooky
Kids are locked out of things for reasons though
Aren’t you supposed to realize that when you get older
in hindsight, there are plenty of things which whould be restricted to minors, wherever we set the age of majority
We got barred from doing cool things so now we enforce even more restrictive rules on the next generation
even if it fucks over a minority of them
Like, I guess 16-17 would be fine
I hate minorities
They’re probably smart enough to stay out of trouble hopefully
it's all arbitrary though Rusp, we need to pick and age and stick to it
I hate that I had to forge documents to get a PayPal as a kid
rusp 16-17 year olds are still getting involved
look at Keitaro
I hate that it's incredibly hard to do things at 17
There were very few things that I couldn’t do at 17 that I cared about
I went off to college at 17
so I got hit with a lot of age-gating
simple things, like having a dormroom
Most people don’t do that though
some % of people do though
Yeah and fuck them
No one cares about minorities
I just would prefer, if things that didn't need to be age-gated
weren't
like hotel rooms
it's fucked that I still can't rent a hotel room in some states
Well they have to make sure you aren’t running away from homes
Also yeah
Restraining orders will do that spooky
how is hotel room renting restricted against people under 30?
depending on the state, it's sometimes 24 as the cuttof
unless you get a parental note
under 18 makes sense for insurance reasons but 24 is stupid
I agree with that
