It's been a little frustrating having sites and people outside of the fighting game community look at Aris as some kind of spokesperson for it
Good can and has come out of it, though. Like Marn not getting commentate wnf any more!
Pretty much. Marn is a person who should never have a microphone, also he's not even that good at games anymore.
he even managed to leech off of wolfkrone's success
which is an astounding feat of douchebaggery
What do you mean? As much as I think Marn sucks, I think him sponsoring wolfkrone and flying him to events has made the whole thing pretty mutually beneficial to the point where any leeching of attention seems fair. Wouldn't be surprised if I have forgotten some horrible thing Marn has done with the sponsorship, though

oh, i just meant, i don't really think madcatz wanted marn, but marn had already snatched up wolfkrone under team MRN right before it happened
i can't even remember the last time i saw marn in a top 8
Yep, this thread sure was a good idea. Can't wait to see where it goes.
it would be great if all this shit wasn't already covered 2 month ago.
This does not mean it cannot be discussed?
It can be discussed, sure...but it is just going to be a big ol' argument and then people start getting pissy at each other and why can't we all just get along?
the hilarious thing is that in this thread so far, no one has actually disagreed with anyone else on the thread's subject matter
everyone is actually arguing about the fact that people have already argued about it
And also who is arguing about it. If you can't do gief's AE 7 hit I don't want your opinion.
edit: some people will take this seriously and i think that's funny

Marn is knocked out of most tournaments by mid-tournament weed naps.
When your defense of an alleged cultural bias towards sexism ends with the word "Starcraft," you should probably shut your mouth and find a nice dark hole to crawl into.

Ah. I think they did want Marn back then because people weren't sure yet just how little Marn cared about staying good at that point and his personality and "fame" might have brought attention worth sponsoring or something. Can't know for sure though, obviously

Well I'd be lying if I said I don't miss his play from when he was good. He was very entertaining to watch. I disliked his personality with a passion but I still got excited when he was up to play. Made for a good heel, I guess.
A guy was being a dumb misogynist, then he said it was okay that he was being a dumb misogynist, because if he wasn't a dumb misogynist, then one video game culture could be mistaken for another.
And wouldn't that just be a fucking shame?

Let's be fair here, there are people who are seriously arguing that college women are attempting to cajole the federal government into subsidizing their sexual exploits because they have the gall to ask for birth control.

In a similar vein, Arizona just passed a law stating that "pregnancy" now begins TWO WEEKS BEFORE conception for the purpose of furthering anti-abortion regulation.

to be fair, everyone other racial/national/ethnic group says this sort of thing about every OTHER racial/national/ethnic group
like OH NO WAIT TIL THE AUSTRALIANS GET HERE CUZ CONVICTS AND SPIDERS/SHARKS/SNAKES/THINGS THAT ARE DANGEROUS/POISONOUS/MURDERERS
or HO HO WAIT TIL THE CHINESE SEE THIS, LOL UNDERAGED GYMNASTS AND COMMUNISM
tongue-in-cheek or just for laughs or backhandedly or not
you get used to it, just ignore it or laugh it off
i just know i don't miss him, and i don't think many other people do either
yeah but
oh ho those americans sure do hate women
so i'm gonna go to bed
be nice
well when you cite a two month old article that has nothing on the aftermath...
I'VE HAD ENOUGH OF YOU NOT LETTING ME TALK ABOUT THINGS IN THE PAST
LIKE THIS POST
WHICH WILL BE SECONDS OLD BY THE TIME YOU READ IT
Fair enough. But the logical conclusion, then, is to find out what the aftermath was and discuss it. Which we're kind of doing, I guess?
