Yeah, it definitely does. Throughout most of my life I’ve been mostly an FPS player and that genre is a sea of white (esports wise) for the most part. When I got into the fighting game community a couple of years ago I noticed how much more diverse it was not just on the whole but at high levels in tournaments. It’s also more diverse in the realm of sexuality and gender, there’s a lot more people from the LGBTQ+ community and there’s way more acceptance than in other communities.
