Chinese internet subcultures and fandoms seems like fun. Like WW1 kind of fun. You know, with trenches, flamethrowers, the good stuff.

That makes me think of that youtuber, DarkSydePhil. Except he has very little fans as far as I know.

It makes me think more of those "influencers", where they have kids who are paid money to be filmed for like 2 hours just opening "presents" given to them for free by advertisers for like 5 minutes before throwing them away forever. (And you thought 1980s "toy commercials as entertainment" was bad...) These sorts of viral YouTube memes are way more popular with preteens, so they tend to be the ones who glom onto some idiot they saw on YouTube as though their personal identity depended upon it.

That sounds horrible, I somewhat feel bad for the preteens.

Give them a couple of years and they'll feel bad for themselves...

Watched a documentary about him before.

Is it true that the Street Fighter 2 port he played during EVO a bad port?

Even if that were the case, DSP isn't good at video games. He did manage to have a niche for himself for awhile but dropped it when someone told them they had a better deal for them (it was a ruse), but managed to get back in.

I believe DSP is the one who didn't understand how to crouch-jump for Black Mesa (back when it was a mod) and got stuck.

I don't know the details because I care little about fighting games, but yes, apparently it was a terrible port, so nobody bothered playing it, and he ranked something like third or fourth during the tournament, and immediately decided he was the best American player because everyone above him was Asian, and he's still boasting to this day. Someone on Youtube perfectly explained the whole situation, but I forgot to screenshot the comment.
I don't remember if it's true or not, it's probably exagerrated, but I heard he also played a broken character at this tournament, Akuma. Some black guy who's also a ginger and is barefeet.
