SonicFox wins Best eSports Player at The Game Awards: "I'm gay, black, a furry. Pretty much everything a republican hates."

Didn't think you were serious. I mean, if you gotta ask if someone who has an anthropomorphic dog as an avatar is a furry...
I saw that but I don't want to assume; it got me thinking if there was a correlation.
Interesting. What advantages does this have to a normal rave
I've seen some furries at Electric Zoo (fits the "animal" theme of the fest), I cannot imagine how the hell they dance in those fursuits and not collapse from heat exhaustion though!
I'm glad that SonicFox said what he said. He has dealt with oppression at the hands of the right his whole life, so him getting this moment of validation is amazing for me personally.
I'm just trying to understand how anyone can truly support the right at this moment in time. They've proven to be anti-minorities, and proven to be anti-LGBTQ+, you can read up on things that Trump has done in his history, as well as a myraid of other republican members who have indulged in similar behavior. Part of me wants to believe that I'm just missing something. That maybe I'm not seeing the full picture of the right. Am I just crazy?
People can't really be this bigoted in 2018 can they?

I like the meta-narrative that Keighley got revenge on Joel Mchale for constantly embarrassing him at the VGX's in 2013... by making him have to introduce and be in the presence of Sonicfox with zero context of who he is.
I'm tempted ask what exactly a furry is, but it looks so ridiculous that I don't think I want to know.
It is almost too bad there isn't some site where you could enter in questions like this and it gives you places with useful information.
If only..
"Cringe" is a word meaning that someone acts in a way that makes them happy and people are made uncomfortable by it
I wasn't familiar with him but I loved his speech.
Sadly, it always feels weird to type something positive about an online gaming personality these days because there's always the expectation that they might have said some disgusting shit on a stream at some point and I'm too out of the loop to know.
But if this guy is truly as he presented himself at the awards yesterday, then good on him and congrats on his win.

Salty CSGO player nominee calls out SonicFox on wining in a "Less interesting and easier genre"

Ahahahah you are complaining about the thread. Yet this single award has caused so much drama.
Yea I guess it was nothing special for a person like him to win an award at TGA /s .... Just hundreds of "nobody cares" posts to try to act edgy.
Check Scrubquotes. Some CS dudes went ham. One even made an alt account just to post Ben Shapiro shit after deleting his tweets about SonicFox.
SonicFox: "I play like 5 Games!"
Sasha: "I did not know that"
Can we make a worldwide rule to NOT comment negatively on someone's success especially if you DO NOT know anything about the person?
Should say the same to the FGC for claiming that S1mple is lucky to be playing on a team instead of individually
When he easily has 3 of the worst teammates playing for a contending team
According to SocialBlade he's gained nearly 15k new followers on Twitter since he won this, so it seems like the overall reception was positive.
Oh wow. Talk about not being grateful or helpful with the esports scene as a whole. What an incredibly childish response.
There was a thread about this but it was locked because he took it back and apologized pretty quickly
S1mple used to be one of the most toxic and hated CS pro players a few years ago but has turned his image around in a big and genuine way and is probably one of the most well liked pros in the scene today. I definitely don't think this instance should define him.
ROFL, you are overestimating the human spirit by quite a margin.
...I'd advise you to read human history and then find the correlations that exist right now.
Fucking got 'em. SonicFox is such a good dude and he deserves all of his success.
I stay out of most threads like these because hooboy the homophobes and self-victimizing conservatives always come out and it's a migraine, but god DAMN am i so fucking happy man who was gay, black, AND a furry won that goddamn award. One of the first times Iv'e ever seen someone like me up there in this sea of sheltered entitled straight white boys and I honestly teared up a bit.
It doesnt matter whether youre some bullshit "financially republican", you support the party, you support everything they do. If you can call yourself republican despite the entire party's stance on ruining every gay, trans, and non-white life in this country with a pristine guiltfree smile, you're both the problem and honestly worse than the active homophobes and racists. Atleast they don't delude themselves into thinking they aren't what they are.
Thats because they are all the same

Yeah. Republicans are universally worthless contributions to America.
I don't recall saying that but thanks for reminding everyone. I agree with your sentiment.
All Republicans and people who willingly associate with that shitty ass party should eat shit
The way you typed that sounded more like "This dude is cool despite the furry"
