Sonicfox: "I'm gay"
- Thread starter Professor Beef
- Start date
Honestly I had only seen him on a few clips from FG tourneys and he kind of annoyed me but after his speech at the VGAs and seeing some folks retweet him I checked him out and the kid is dope as shit. I'm honestly embarrassed that I made that initial snap judgement about him.
I think the furry shit is weird, but I don't think he's being rude with it.
I don't know if age has anything to do with it. It's a costume, it's a game event, I don't really see where rudeness comes in. People go to tournaments in cosplay as well.
If you watched evo or any other big event, people show up in all kinds of costumes. Theres no rules against dressing up for tournaments.
Right. If he was in a fur suit with a big plushie dick attached I'd kind of understand but there's no harm in him suiting up.
No, seriously. Why do you think it's rude to wear costumes?
Cosplay is different, and it's usually tailored to the game at hand. It being his original character just makes it seem rude to me.
There's also a huge difference between a guy in a costume and a guy wearing a giant blue fox head
Visibility is definitely important for acceptance. Its one of the reasons I always make it very clear that I'm gay and wear a lesbian necklace and rainbow bracelet. Im a regular person you can hang out with AND I like girls. It's normal.
(Also If I make it clear I'm gay people dont get crushes on me and then get mad when I turn them down. I am so tired of being told I haven't found the right guy)
I think he should keep saying it. And I hope it makes more people feel comfortable saying it. Maybe one day we wont need to say it.

All the people pressed about Sonicfox are hilarious. Gay has been a go-to slur and insult for these people since forever, but someone just being like "yep I'm gay, what of it" makes them so mad.
Hmm I think I've had this problem before. There should be a little "blocked comment quoted" notification at the start of posts that quote people you've got blocked. Maybe they're working on that.
How is cosplay different? A costume is a costume, regardless of the origins.

says the n-word on stream I sleep
wears a cute mascot suit to a casual event OH MY WHAAAT
This is the most "bitch eating crackers" shit I have ever seen.

So, if he used that character as his mascot for his brand... would it be okay? Or does any sort of costume off put you?
The only perspective one could possibly construe a reasonable argument out of for SonicFox being rude is that wearing that mask is a heavy impairment to one's senses, i.e. he's playing handicapped. If you want to be super anal about sportsmanship, you could say that it's disrespectful of him to handicap himself while playing other players.
But he's not putting that mask on to handicap himself or sandbag, he's putting it on because he likes wearing it. So he's not doing it out of malice, and as far as I know, nobody gives a shit about him wearing it. If anything, if you're really into the competitive mindset, you'd prefer him wearing it because it gives you a slightly better chance at beating him.

so, he's gay, so what? He deserves pat on the back or what?
Well, I didn't even really register it until he put on the big head, so maybe that's what I consider too far?
is this supposed to be quoting some twitter jackass or did you forget the /s or....?

if anything his power level RISES when he puts on the gloves and head piece, if his results are anything to go buy
unless you piss him off like Perfect Legend did, then he goes even FURTHER BEYOND
I actually think that's the point. It's not a big deal, it really shouldn't be treated as such, he's just celebrating his identity. It's the equivalent of a straight person posting a picture of them with their SO.
It continues to baffle me that people would feel so strongly about another individual's sexuality. Let my man live!
Okay, so it's just stupid arbitrary lines drawn in the sand. Got it.
I mean yeah at the core I know why, Bigotry. But I mean I dunno?
He's gay, ok. How does that effect your life, I have been watching this man and his friends deal with people upset with him saying he's gay all the time. Like I dunno , do other shit with your lives damn. Let this man be a gay blue fox
If that's how you want to interpret it then sure. I just want pro players to show respect to one another in the spirit of competition.
I mean, that's always the case when people say fursuits are weird but cosplay isn't.
(not to hijack the thread here, but it's something I've seen in several threads about furries here on Era, so...)
so has anyone felt disrespected or is this all just made up in your mind?
Which pro players have a problem with what Sonicfox is doing?
None of your explanations are not arbitrary. There is no difference between wearing a costume (which can consist of anything) and wear a blue fox head. None of what you're saying has a logical base where we can draw a line. That's why it's bullshit.
If the FGC itself actually gave a shit about this they'd have so many rules in place to enforce this. But they don't give a fuck. Dude wearing a giant head is not a big deal. His opponents are out here voicing their feelings of disrespect afterall.
