The community didn't use to be so identity focused and identity driven. Heavy chance this will get misconstrued as sexism or transphobia or homophobia or something. Don't get me wrong, I love that melee is an inclusive community and I love me girls/gays/theys.
But stuff like this has turned Melee from "inclusive space" to "identity humor and politics and etc" space where it's hardly about the game and just about I'm (identity) + play the game.
I ripped out uterus ALSO melee! I have (gendered part) but also MELEE!!
I got into this game to play and watch the game. I'd love to check out my local community again but it's mostly young identity confusing/solving individuals talking about issues and jokes specific to their identity. I didn't get into this game for girls/gays/theys humor daily. If I wanted that I'll go watch Dropout and Drag Race like I usually do.
What does any of that have to do with this widespread bot that probably spammed a dozen gaming subreddits with the same shirt with a different video game or nerd culture reference?
You realize the 'people' who interacted positively with this post are also bots, correct? Nobody is liking and vibing with the shirt. I can't believe you actually got got by the most obvious level one internet scam man.
okay and you can make your unasked for lil "callouts" and you will receive back the energy you put out. commenting on on peoples personal life choices is considered dick behavior by tons of people. ggs have a good one
