Re: Smash Melee Champ Resigns from All-Male Rules Committee To Encourage Broader Representation

@Yorumi I thought we were here to talk about melee? And it seems that most people are being mature about this topic. I've only seen two people who have just come out screaming insults at the other side. And they weren't both on one side, one was calling the ones who think this is a great thing insults, and one was calling the ones who didn't see why this was necessary insults.

Again, I may be wrong, but I feel they would have asked more than two women if there were actually more than two women who were good enough at melee. I feel like a fact we just have to accept is that the competitive melee community is a mostly male community. I'm not saying that that's a good thing, in fact, I would love for it to be balanced between males and females, but I feel this is just something we have to accept, and not that the rules committee is all guys that hate women so they only asked two of them.

I realize I have been previously wrong. I thought this was a rules committee for a tournament, but in reality this is a rules committee to discuss the rules of melee going forward. Either way, I still question why it is so important that females declined a position, and then were interested when they realized they would be the only females. In my mind, it's about publicity for them, as well as the man that stepped down, but I might be wrong.

I don't understand why it's such a big deal that women turned down an offer, and then suddenly were interested when they knew that gender diversity would be on the line. It would be fine if this person stepped down to let a woman take his place if no women were invited, solely because they were women. I suppose this could open up a door for more female participants in the future, yet it almost seems like these women are being forced into taking a position just so the melee community can make a statement. Just my opinion though.

I want to buy Sonic Mania, but I can't see myself doing it after blowing $80 on extra joy cons to play things like MK8DX with my siblings. This week I'll only be getting the demo for rayman and monster hunter stories. I'll probably get sonic mania at some point, but sadly, this week is not the time.
