What are your opinions on her? From my POV I'd say she's one of the faces of GC, especially considering how successful she's been. But what is weird is the public opinion of Flor, it seems to me at least that there's like a million Flor haters for no particular reason, I do understand that especially since its the Valorant community there's gonna be an above average % of transphobic people, that's a given, but that wouldn't explain the amount of hate flor gets unless I'm severely underestimating the amount of transphobic people that exist in here.
Does this have to do with just misconceptions of what GC actually is? Do people hate flor personally for some reason? Or is it just a bad place bad time situation where I ended up seeing a disproportionate amount of florescent hate by pure misfortune?
Florescent
I forgot to say this but this was meant to be like a weird piece of bait? I wanted to see if like the transphobia and sexism in VLR would come out unprovoked or if they need to be hidden amongst other similar comments to then come out like a little rat.
Among other things I just wanted to see what it was, like Transphobic Lion or Transphobic Rat I was just curious so I came up with this not very smart idea. So yeah mb for bringing it up again but I kinda got to see a few results at least.
Yeah. Like sure she faces a lot of transphobia and obviously no one should be hated for anything even if they are overhyped, but I've seen countless people calling her tier 1 level while she hasn't even competed in proper tier 2 yet. While some even go as far as calling teams and players transphobic/misogynist because they haven't given her any chances.
Like I'm not hating on her, but IMO she is really overrated by some, outside of GC.
Probably because of how they're talking about GC, people forget that GC was made to solve a problem, which was not at all involved with the level of skill or tier of competition.
And so when they refer to this situation as they did, basically, it's saying "she gets hate because people think XYZ is true" but not saying that if XYZ was true it would still not be a reason to hate, nor reason to say anything at all, so it comes across like they're hating, but I do hope, and of course believe that they're not actually hating at all.
Also its just how its said, like "There's people who unironically call her same level as top VCT duelists for dominating in GC that is equilevant to tier 3 on highest. " is such a weird way to phrase it, again saying that GC is T3 at highest is not relevant to the point I would hope they're trying to make, and therefore it just sounds like they're silently hating because, again, its weird to mention that if there's no reason to since it doesn't make the point any clearer unless the point you want to make is secretly that you think GC is inferior.
And I need to say this again to not come across in the exact way I'm "denouncing" lmao, I mean the only reason I can know about this is because it used to be me, but yeah again I believe they're not hating this is all about the optics of it and reasoning that can be extrapolated from that text regardless of any context.
Sorry for essaying but it may be helpful in the future to understand why this happens in other situations.
