Less actually. The gimmick of chess is modeling and memorizing lots of plays. In fighting games you have to be humble and train to get stronger then be able to deeply understand your opponent to outplay them. Bonus because of historical accidents fighting games are heavily poc and working class. So you can get some terrible takes there but bet your average pro fgc probably has better politics than your average pro chess player.
Very fun to see the reactionary shitheads like LTG just get routinely clowned on over the years when they spout hateful shit. There’s a lot of problematic trends/culture in the FGC but you’re spot on about the make up & attitudes of the community. When one of the most popular players is a black nonbinary furry then there’s at least something good there
