Really good video that showcases the terrible bias, inconsistencies and what a sham the Smash Bros (competitive) community is and how they truly manage issues behind doors. I'm a firm believer that I am not the only wrongful victim, the way they framed me publicly and attacked me was instigated by their bias against me (as I was never an agent nor part of them behind the scenes) happened to other people. Despite me going the legal route and fully addressing everything, they simply act as if any of it does not exist and pretend the way it all happened was a perfectly fair and reasonable trial. I don't think they truly care about any of the issues they deal with, they simply use them politically to remove individuals that do not fit their larger narrative and clique. A very good example is how Hax is treated when compared to Leffen.

[@JBLZFTW]

I feel so bad for Hax, the dude is clearly bad with words but was endlessly tormented and bullied, then gets even harsher treatment when he spoke up about it. All for them to ban him without even talking to him, and meanwhile leffen is still publicly bashing the boxx to this day in tournaments

[@itsatentaquil3152]

Oh they're incredibly biased, I can't even remember how many times I got attacked on twitter for saying "let me hear both stories first" for you as well as FOW, all they did was throw a baby tantrums telling me " is a victim!!" As messed up as this is to say, if people try to cancel MkLeo on anything the result would be similar to what happened to you all because they hate him constantly winning. By that I mean, not listening to both sides but only listening to the victims side thinking twitter is the court.

If anything, Technicals would probably delete the videos on Nairo and retract the statements if the document filled with convincing evidence was sent to him... so why hasn't Nairo done it? This alone makes me believe that Nairo isn't as innocent as he claims to be. The alibis the huge smash figureheads (that read the doc) gave him acts more as a way to silence public criticism rather than prove any innocence he may have.

I rarely see actual discussion about Nairo outside of major videos such as these, so I'm glad there are some dimensions behind the thoughts of the public.

[@kush7138]

Yeah it seems sketchy even more so. We know that Zack is a scumbag but Nairo being painted as someone whose not in cahoots with some smash figureheads is odd behavior

[@KangasKong9944]

Either that or it can’t be shown publicly legally because it involves a minor or something like that. That’s the only reason I could think of for his team to withhold it. Or in court it was agreed upon that it could not be revealed publicly as terms of their agreement could be another possibility.

[@flaresashes]

​@@KangasKong9944 If first case is true, then what would make people like Void, Pereden, and Cozmos involved enough to see said document then sign a NDA? I'd give that a benefit of a doubt if not for the fact that it was settled outside of court. If that settlement did demand that the document not see the light of day, why would Nairo agree to that? Wouldn't someone prefer that the one thing that'd thoroughly prove their innocence be available to see if it's not going to be processed in an actual trial? You can correct me on any comments I make btw. I'm not proficient in law, but the entire thing feels sus to me.

[@thecapitalisticdictator2256]

Ngl even if Nairo got technicals to sign an NDA I don't think that would stop him from making a video talking about everything in the 30 page document 😅 I'll say this, it can't be too flimsy of evidence because otherwise I don't know why captain Zack would settle. Like if it was litteraly nothing than Captain Zack would've fought the court case and tried to convict Nairo of being a pedo instead. So idk... But it seems technicals is choosing to believe Nairo is guilty until he sees that 30 page document

[@kimoota-kun]

Not that I'm defending Nairo here but that's well beyond entitled to think that technicals should get the 30 page document. That thing would probably contain more than just some evidence, it would be sensitive information that doesn't just involve himself and CaptainZack but also many other people. Respect that privacy otherwise you're nothing more than the just paparazzi.

Gimr definitely seemed more conflicted of the two, even admitting the situation was f*cked up at one point. I think Gimr is complicit in his silence and inactivity, but definitely sees Techs side if he's honest with himself

It’s crazy that the argument that Nairo “doesn’t want to go to events” is even used.

Hell they actively defend seeing how much effort they put into removing the ban nairo sign from the VODs. As long as he is unbanned it shows that the smash higher-ups value their public image over protecting said public. That is morally unacceptable. Thank you Tech for speaking logically and without fear of backlash, I fully support you.

[@heartnet40]

It's super fucked up. "He doesn't want to go to tournaments." Why. Does. Nairo. Get. The. Choice? It doesn't matter what Nairo's intentions are or not, you have to actively punish his actions by removing his own responsibility from the table. He has *lost* the ability to choose to go to event and you need to *confirm* that. You need to show that, no, Nairo doesn't get a say on where he stands in the community, it is not nor should it be *NAIRO'S* decision. Because the implications that he gets to choose not to show up is that he very well COULD one day and none of you feel eligible enough to outright stop him. Nairo doesn't get to choose. Ban him.

Also reading enough of miscellaneous twitter drama has taught me that if someone has pronouns of any kind of flag that represents an ideology on their profile description then that's not quite a Red flag but more like an orange one, it's a sign you must be careful with those, and it has nothing to do with their preferences, it has to do that you are probably dealing with a piece of shit, if you have been reading enough twitter drama you know what i am talking about, if not, then consider yourself lucky .
