Really, you haven't seen the way every tournament has pronouns under the players name tag? You don't see the "women" listed among the TOs who signed the ban.

The Smash community has changed man. This is just the culmination of years of rot caused by the sort of people who list their pronouns under their Twitter bio, regardless of their sexual orientation.

It’s been so damn long since I’ve seen the ban paperwork (I actively enter tournaments so yes I know about pronouns under the tags), but I don’t think that if everyone was magically straight, that the reaction to evidence.zip2 would have been different considering what it was.

In my opinion, the most important section of this video is the nine minutes he goes over the group chat and people actively making him worse and egging him on, as that’s a large chunk as to why the fuck this ended this way, but evidence.zip2 was getting Hax temp banned regardless of who the TOs are

Sure for like two months. This would have been clean if it had been handled properly from the start. But the true punishment is the uncertainty, it's by design, just one more favor to the party to get back in, comrade, just one more groveling apology. They keep you at arm's length to make use of you, so that they can lead you with baits and punishes. This is classic cult stuff. These woke bullies destroyed this man.

I’ll say this: I think everyone admits that this could have been handled differently absolutely, first by giving Hax an actual time table as to when he would be able to be unbanned.

One thing I’ve also been figuring out, since talking to TOs isn’t hard at all since they’re on social media, is that there’s a lot that was going on behind the scenes that we didn’t know about, like you know him having fake friends that gaslit him further into believing Leffen is the literal devil, but in addition during his ban, he would constantly apologize and then retract said apologies, ending up in a video called ‘the truth’, where he completely retracted all of his apologies and then went over all this again.

I now however think that a lot of the flip flopping was because of his fake friends constantly doing this shit, culminating in him getting permanently banned in January 2024. The TOs aren’t woke bullies for wanting Hax to show signs of actually apologizing for making the videos, but because we now know that some of the people who were closest to Hax were the people who were hurting him the most (and these are the anti-TO people by the way), it makes this so much worse.
