    Smash is surprising. More traditional fighting games have pretty big POC followings

      Nice. I admit I don't know much about the fighting community or even the Smash community other than there being a misogyny problem

        There is a huge misogyny problem or really cluster of problems, but most FG communities (Smash included) are very multiracial. There's also obviously a bit of an orientalism issue towards East Asia (varying types based on the country), but overwhelmingly the biggest issue is getting the community away from weird channer types like you see on r / kappa who are terminally pornbrained and think that a female character wearing a skintight one-piece is the woke mob assailing their combat bikinis.
