The Penny Arcade Report - Sexual harassment as ethical imperative: how Capcom’s fighting game reality show turned ugly, HG101 discussion thread This takes serious business and Stop Having Fun Guys to a new level, and to think that people from forums like Shoryuken (SRK) are defending this guy...certainly doesn't give the fighting game community a good image, but it's not like FPS communities and System Wars fanboys are any better, either. You have to wonder how these people somehow manage to keep it all to the games and not just stab each other in the face... And yes, I'm well aware this little forum gets abrasive at times...but not like this. Edited by NamelessFragger, Wednesday Feb 29 2012, 09:56 PM.

EHHHH I know I'm going to come off as a dick. But she should have really expected this. What all these videos are NOT show is the amount of bitchiness she was displaying on and off stream. Aeris kind of retaliated. While I'm not saying two wrongs make a right she WAS asking for the way she started. Now, everyguy is white knighting for her and DarkSydeGeoff is actually willing to pay for it. Now, Superyan in a way makes me think she wanted all this because I guess she realized after the thigh jokes and the tumblr account thing she could sue for sexual harassment. And there are videos showing her actively encouraging him to make MORE fun of her. There is an event in Florida she was invited too, she said no thanks. But now that she's gotten all this attention and has launched a lawsuit (I have no idea how she'll think she has a chance in court considering who IGN is back by.) this seems like she turned it into a publicity stunt. |

I can't rule out that this article isn't telling the whole story, that's for sure. My problem isn't specifically sexual harassment or even the genders of the people involved, but that people are acting like total fuckwads, face-to-face even (no Internet anonymity here), and thinking that it's totally okay if they just say they're joking afterward...and even more to the point, that some people in the community actively encourage this sort of behavior. On the other hand, you did say she was actively asking for it... |

Exactly. I don't agree with what Aeris was doing on camera. But I don't agree with the way she was acting toward everyone either. Women included were telling her to represent girl gamers better in a way that wasn't so...bitchy. And on camera when the "harassment" started she was actively encouraging him by laughing and going along with it. That's like telling your rapist GIVE ME MORE. She didn't say stop, she didn't ask for help she let it go on for hours. Then when the final match came she quit and basically ruined a huge chunk of the show. Which is why A LOT of people on SRK are bitching. Edited by ronaldmonster, Thursday Mar 1 2012, 01:18 AM.

I play fighting games a lot like, a lot but the very idea of watching a reality show about people playing fighting games makes me want to kill myself |

It's just IGN's version of Wednesday Night Fights, they are blowing the "Reality Show" portion WAY into space.

Wednesday Night Fights = fighting tournament which is only famous and garners attention over the simple fact Justin Wong is on it. |

I've literally seen videos of beheadings that were less painful to watch than that video of that guy making bad jokes. There's a lot more to sexist humor than just "LOL SHE IS A WOMAN AND SHE HAS TITS AND GUYS WANT TO HAVE SEX WITH HER." There's fat jokes, hair color jokes, pickle jar jokes, sandwich making jokes, house cleaning jokes, kitchen jokes, driving jokes, rape jokes, academic performance jokes, physical ability jokes, physical appearance jokes, feminist jokes, lesbian jokes, etc. The list goes on an on. But this guy can't pull one decent joke out of his ass? For shame. |
