", @Cool_Squirtle "Maybe this can be solved by having a junior league(ages up to 17) and a senior league(ages 18+) for all official smash tournaments with harsh repurcussions if the two leagues mingle in any way, shape, or form. ", @mesome713 "Guys can be real scum of the earth at times. Please, exercise full discretion before reading.). What the hell!!! THIS. @Tempestryke All fandoms are toxic. @PickledKong64 Non-denominational, but they seem to veer closer to Catholicism, so I share your disgust. We have innocent until proven guilty, and allegations must be brought forward against individuals before we count someone as a victim and others as abusers. LOL I usually respond to her with why I love rock and roll so much. I say smokescreen because it distracts from the real shady BS going on. You get destroyed. I hope for the best for you. You’re ecstatic. So we have one story about the CEO of Evo that admitted pretty much to being a pedophiliac serial rapist, and now we have this article the Smash is overrun by creepy mouth breathing nutjobs. @Desrever It’s incredible how many ones at school who were involved in the Con scene ended up getting involved with cosplayers who were over 30. It would be easier if Nintendo took more of an active interest in the scene, like they do with the Pokemon tournaments but the community have to rally together to prove that they can survive without these abusers. Puppeh went into detail regarding the summer of 2016 where he alleges that Cinnpie made inappropriate advances that led to an unwanted sexual relationship. As much good as social media and other new channels have done, they have amplified the practice of pile-ons, an atmosphere of self-righteousness, hyper-partisanship, and a deeply unhealthy outrage cycle. Also, cops and lawyers usually don't send out death threats like randos on Twitter will (and have). We must learn from what we're seeing and better ourselves and our community. But if that simple, core purpose gets hijacked by anything, they quickly lose their way. @mesome713 Exactly. Let the professionals do their job, and in the meantime, be as supportive, kind and as good a listener as you can be. @link422007 Why thank you Captain Obvious. First and foremost, we, as a culture, need to believe victims. ", That wouldn't really solve the problem. Again, I am not at all putting down your experiences. @Seananigans yeah mate, I’m all for equality , Doesnt say nothing. Multiple sexual misconduct allegations have rocked the Smash Bros community at its core. :/. I then find myself turning against a movement that, at times, seems to be creating new abuses rather than quashing old ones. One day, the best player at the whole tournament comes up to you. @GealachNua Oh 100% agreed, I just hate how some people think ideas and solutions to a problem means they are victim blaming when the majority of the time that is not what it is meant to do. And social media should not be dismissed. When their kid gets suspended and denied access to the school dance because he/she decided to bring alcohol to school and get drunk they actually DEFEND him/her. The youth and immaturity of many competitive Smashers likely also contributes to the other unsavory stories (unrelated to sexual misconduct) that pop up from time to time. These are being linked here despite often being graphic, unnerving, and violent, but we deem the acknowledgement of these stories to be essential. Finally, this problem neither began nor ends with these individuals. Only an immature person would view people as nothing but sexual objects and manipulate them to that end. It's already very confusing for victims of assault. The fact that they havent faced legal charges disgust me. Feel free to report his comments, if they bother you. @Tasuki It’s not anything with the game itself. If one commits a crime, it's equally egregious, and one deserve an equal charge. Get out. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://kb.osu.edu/bitstream/handle/1811/37221/James_Gentry_thesis.pdf&ved=2ahUKEwj7-7LlgLnqAhWEyKQKHWi8C6c4ChAWMAl6BAgIEAE&usg=AOvVaw02jxndqbYotNaeF0BhxpRQ, https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.nytimes.com/2019/09/29/us/pedophiles-online-sex-abuse.amp.html, @nessisonett There was another user called something like "SJW_PIxie_Girl", or something like that, who seemed to have disappeared. She has not responded to the allegation. You hurt, so you smack their hand away and pull yourself away. It's not smash, or even the gaming community. Ignoring these inconvenient conversations only serves to drag out how long abusers can hide/normalise their actions. We are part of the Smash Community by proxy, and by default. Right? Listening means being quiet and listening. This is not exclusive to video games, its not exclusive to anything. But this is an exception. And they’re right. Nario then deleted his Twitter account, then reactivated his account to make an apology statement. If there’s any hope for Smash Bros. to continue growing in the way it has, we need to start fixing these things, and we need to do it now. Sickening people. If anyone needs help or just needs to talk, I’m open. They have most likely have an idea on how that family dynamic works. They fight the school boards over this stuff for crying out loud. It's also worth noting that these lessons can – and indeed should – be extended to all games which have representation within the world of esports, not just Smash. Who wants to associate with this mess? There will be good meetups but there will be things like this. @mesome713 @Seananigans Please keep your comments within the community rules - derailing this comments section helps nobody. “Hey, you’re really good at this,” they say. You do NOT place your trust in a complete stranger unless you are an incredibly good judge of character. im gonna assume that EVO...can't really recover from this. That needs to go away, soon. But over the generations there's been a major shift in parenting and balance of power. Video games are becoming more accepted with broad diversity in users and demographics. The thing that makes D1 allegations hit hard, is that he is considered to be a brand ambassador for all of the Smash community. @Desrever That’s a terrible thing to have had to experience, and you’re right about how predators hide at conventions. Great article, it’s not often that this level of detail and thought is put into an article on a gaming website. The editor for this article specifically said “be nice to each other in the comments”. I feel like this gawking at the whole spectacle has to be worse even than the courtroom. May we never see this event again. Yet, predators hide in the most beautiful scenery. We have an obligation to see and report patients of child abuse and seeing the aftermath of these inhumane acts are absolutely horrible. And I hope for better rules be set in place (no alcohol present during tournaments or when minors are present, parent/ guardian must be with youth, no after parties with minors, etc). @Deliesh You have the right to believe what you want, and I agree that it's fine as long as no one harasses or takes action against the victim or accused. You start to get better. The extended ‘nerd’ community is rife with this stuff to be honest, it could come from many different sources such as the prevalence of loli/shota characters, the fact a lot of these older ones are active in the incel community etc. It looks so fun, and the strats they pull off are truly masterful and entertaining to watch. you dont know them they dont know you. Everyone is innocent until proven guilty. Announcers and organizers followed. You'll see the same behavior from politicians, from the clergy at churches (really bad) it's sadly sneaking into lots of different areas in society. At the time we thought it was "so friggin cool" that industry folks would let us hang out with them and get us drunk even though we were underage. I can’t solve your problems, but I’m a good listener, and as being a martial arts instructor for most of my life, I’ve worked directly with victims of abuse to try and empower them and give them tools to fight back, so I have a little bit of experience. I mean, the UK is a nation with A LOT of aoccer fans and under those tens of thousands and more soccer fans surely are people how abused someone or something else. And you're right, the flip side to that is that you do get crazies sending death threats and nastiness to individuals. @GealachNua Unless I'm reading the wrong comment, this person opens up with saying "People need to teach their kids and each other what abuse is and how to look out for it, avoid it, and call it out when it happens.". also these high power skilled players dont give a flying crap about their fans they just want their money. This happens in almost all communities! Why are underaged people travelling across the world to play in unofficial, mismanaged, unsafe tournaments? This is not a "believe victims" or "he said she said", almost all of the ones involved have talked and admitted their faults, @Seananigans your comment was needlessly rude to those commenting. @MrBlacky No, why would you think such a thing? @Tasuki This just as easily could've been Fortnite if it wasn't so heavily regulated by Epic Games.
