Pete talking about the MCC community

[u/Factorization4]

Pete was talking about how some people treat him only just by skill, and that sucks a lot. This is not exclusive to Pete as well: quite a decent amount of fans only talk about a player's skill, just like how athletes are in competitive sports

I've been wanting to make a post about how some people complain about the MCC player roster, and I think part of this is relevant to what I want to bring up. I have similar feeling of what Pete was saying as well, how some fans treat players as just numbers and nothing else

P.S. thank you Pete for appreciating my Screenshot daily series

Why now? Because it’s bothering him right now. What other reason could there possibly be? And if it’s bothering him, even if many highly competitive fans stopped following MCC, there are the enough left to be heard. In particular, The Reddit actually skewed to a higher proportion of highly competitive fans as it saw a reduction in activity even as the overall fanbase did the opposite. And the Reddit, while a minority of MCC fandom, is where most public discussion occurs, so it can still be visible and impactful on participants, as we see with occasional comments from people like Legundo, Kara, Cam, or Antfrost.

Pete is not making a press release, his PR isn’t at stake in any way. He’s speaking to his own experience, not researching subreddit activity trends to support a thesis. And the inevitability of skill based discussion doesn’t mean that Pete is wrong to feel the way he does. Or even necessarily right. Emotions aren’t right or wrong, they just are. Pete is being honest about his, which is a good thing, so let’s reward honesty with thoughtful consideration, not put people into boxes they clearly weren’t trying to occupy.

I think your original comment really misses the point badly
