RDJ talks has a pretty serious heart-to-heart with Tom here that I honestly quote a lot to this day. Being a marvel fanboy during this era really left me with some amazing life lessons and I want to discuss two in particular here that helped me as a someone in the FGC : ---------------------------------------------------------- 1⃣ "I just wanted to be like you" "And I wanted you to be better." When I first started out in the FGC, I really had no idea what I wanted. I was embraced by this community of people that I really wasn't sure I had anything in common with and given immense comfort despite feeling like I offered nothing. I immediately grasped onto the culture of it all, which at the time, was highly competitive, spirited, but containing a bit of an ominous energy. There was nothing inherently bad with it by the way, I just mean there was like this aura of variable mild toxicity that existed. I'd play games with people and have an amazing time. We'd play games for hours then eat at Dennys or some random late night spot. Conversations would be full of whimsy, rivalries, and good memories. I couldn't help but keep thinking back to that weird energy I encountered though. Was it really toxicity or was I just being a baby about it? And there in was the issue. I was already a part of this energy People in the fgc back in the day would talk shit, sometimes in person, sometimes too much, and sometimes make you feel bad for not being so good at it. It was a punishing environment where you had to be good, good at talking shit, or good at rallying with the people that could. It was a weird energy, fun when rules were followed, but the rules were never spoken and people weren't sure when "enough is enough." As if that wasn't enough, me thinking "am I just being a baby about it?" indicated how immersed I was already. I was always valid for feeling a bit uncomfortable with it but felt like I wouldn't fit in if I didn't jump in myself. One day though, a great friend caught me saying something stupid (on stream) and immediately checked me. He said "hey, don't say that ever again." "wait why, everyone else says it here, you've even said it I'm just trying to be like you" "and I'm trying to make sure you are better than me" And there it was. A lesson in humility that I can be the change I want to see in the world, and so that I became. I still love to talk shit and love being a competitor, but now I've always tried to implement it with rules that make sure I'm always making it about the fun of it all, not the negativity or "putting down" of others. The FGC has mostly abandoned this culture and honestly, for most people, it's probably for the best lol. "Playful Shit talk" as someone once called it for me is hard, requires great social awareness and tact. But damn is it fun and makes for unforgettable times. Maybe another day I'll post my "rules for talking shit tastefully" if people are interested in that (comment below if so!). Which brings us to- 2⃣ "If you're nothing without the suit, then you shouldn't have it." I quote this, to this day, A LOT lol. Even just in humorous situations because the idea of it is quite funny. I would find a much more practicable reason to relate to this quote when I took my FGC prowess to a new plateau - content creation. We live in a much different world for content creation in the FGC than it was a decade ago. The only thing you'd really find before was combo trials, shitty quality matches, maybe an analysis (IF you were lucky). I took it more seriously when I won a pretty prolific match against an opponent in UMVC3 I had no business beating. I just remember my phone almost bricking from the amount of notifications I was receiving. Immense praise and validation that reminded me why fighting game competition can be so addicting. My awesome friends told me to stop playing around and try to make content, I knew I was funny, liked to tryhard, and made it fun so fuck it, why not? Years later I'd grow to a pretty amazing level of fame and notoriety that I really never planned for. The idea of having fans I still quite foreign to me, even to this day, but I appreciate it immensely. However, in this space, it does not take much to really warp your headspace. We as humans are not designed to handle so much positive (or even negative) reinforcement at the scale in which social media moves. On top of it that, it really just takes one bad comment to rattle your confidence, even as someone socially not plugged in. So then it happened - Someone hit me with "your just a insert content creator wannabe and you wouldn't have gotten this far without them." Crazy to invalidate someone's entire body of work by amounting it to "who helped you" or "who you know." That is what happens though, anyone "making it" will have haters and smart people would ignore that. We're not always smart though, sometimes we're just human. That comment would sink me for a bit, was I nothing without my friends? Was my success deserved? Fuck all that. I decided to let my FGC spite fuel me, and while I don't think you should let haters dictate ANY of your actions, I proved that guy wrong. I made videos without unfair advantages, just because I could. And honestly? at first they didn't do that well. But I improved, I kept trying, and I'd also still make more with my friends because fuck that guy. I was plenty without my friends, plenty without the suit. Doesn't mean I didn't like wearing the suit though <3 If you made it this fair thanks for reading! Marvel is sick, the FGC has evolved but I hope to bring back rivalries and tasteful shit talk, and I hope you found your place in whatever community fills you with happiness. As for me, ima keep being better and wearing my suit. 🕴️
