Is that a serious question? I thought you already knew the hell that an FGC chat was. Its all about the thirst and weird fetishes. I went into a invite only chat for poverty monsters and that pretty much stopped me from going on chats forever. Granted, there's nothing wrong in appreciating someone's physique, they just take it to another level and don't give a fuck.
I don't participate in the streaming thing much. I actually play games.
Seriously though, I've felt I never had to stream or join a chat. Youtube is a great resource for seeing past streams so I can watch pros. The only thing I've streamed is EVO. Capcom Cup will be my first fgc major that's not EVO.
As for chats, I generally try to ignore them in general, especially when someone black or a woman is there because I know gamers, and I know how they're going to respond. Especially in a post-gamergate world, I have even less reason to become a part of any chat.
Also, you have to take into account that I'm still new to the community. I literally only started branching out into the community with this thread. This thread is my first exposure to the larger fgc.
