I have been watching the Mortal Kombat movies because the new one came out, and I realized I haven't played an MK game in like 20 years.... so I googled some of the e-sports shit for MK on youtube and the current champion is an openly gay man who dresses up like an animal (furry).
Not sure why it surprises me that a mentally ill twenty-something is a video game champion, but it was a bit of an eye-brow raiser nonetheless.
