Technicals, I just needed to add one thing to your “it’s legal” argument: It’s a U.S. law that states Traveling across state or country borders to have sex with a minor is illegal REGARDLESS of the age of consent in either state, country, province, etc. In effect, this means the age of consent in Washington has nothing to do with it. All the court would have to do is prove that she is a minor and that Zaptie is from Canada and this would be an open and shut case. Once again, the age of consent in either parties’ legal jurisdiction has absolutely no effect on the outcome of this case. He would have 100% been convicted and forced to register as a sex offender if he had followed though on his intent that he showed in those texts, and intent to commit an illegal sexual act is ALSO ENOUGH to convict the guilty party.

[@Mattadork]

this might just be out of ignorance and correct me if i am wrong (i also don't know the situation) but doesn't the law state that it has to be going to another country with the intent to have sex with a minor? only reason i ask (and anyone with knowledge of the law that can send me it so i can view it, please do) is because i remember a law and order special victims unit episode, and they explain that they caught this dude because he broke a specific law that states "if you go to another country with the sole purpose of having sex with someone under the age of 18" this is para phrased but thats what it said, its a tv show so it could just be like that for dramatic effect, but it is a law based show though so idk. can someone clarify?

[@zach284]

I think some people are missing some of the points of this video. A couple of comments call Technicals out for being a hypocrite for defending ZeRo but not Zaptie. I think some people fail to understand that Technicals did not agree with the actions ZeRo committed even going as far as to say he should continue to stay banned from Smash related events, but be allowed to continue making content. He even said that Zaptie should be allowed to make content if he so feels like it. I fail to see the hypocrisy when the point was never to condone actions but to highlight issues like the mountain of lies being thrown ZeRo's way and, in this case, highlight the questionable support being given to Zaptie for having done what he has. I also see a point being made about Zaptie being lied to while ZeRo knew full well what the victim's true age was. I'd understand this point if the age being lied about wasn't practically the same problem. Lying that you are 16 to a 20 year old who is encouraging suggestive actions does not, for most people, change that it still very well falls under pedophilia. The issue was not that he was lied to but rather being the age gap was still extremely concerning, legal age of consent or not. It was about the morality of it as it was shown to Zaptie. Most people would consider that pedophile behavior no matter if he was lied to or if they were in high school or if the age of consent was legal for them or not. All in all I found this to be a great video, skits n all. I'm just trying to help people maybe get a bit more of a general understanding on why I feel their arguments may be wrong but anyone is free to challenge that idea. It's all about positive discussions

[@Bellboyce]

From my view the commentary community is just dead set on trying to label zero as a pedo over allegations we don't have all the proof. Zero should 100% be banned from tournaments but until we see more evidence of him interacting with minors inappropriately then he can keep uploading content.

[@mr.freezypk9954]

People understand this, what I don't understand is Zero clearly came back with malicious intent. Trying to get "Katies" identity because he doesn't entirely believe she was 15. He acted like it so it doesn't matter. He called out John Swan for suicide baiting but Zero literally uses a confession as a suicide note, comes back to the internet years later, then comes back for blood when he was in the wrong

[@mr.freezypk9954]

@@Bellboyce I'm pretty sure there's DM proof which is enough for him to through Zaptie under the bus. A lot of techs points on zaptie are pretty out of context anyways only to make a connection between the 2 when zaptie was catfished and zero had full knowledge what he was doing was illegal

[@zach284]

@@mr.freezypk9954 Are you talking about the screenshot about ZeRo and Technicals possibly pressuring Jisu for Katie's identity? My guess is this entire situation had him in a bitter mood where he wanted to get the absolute truth about everything including the true age of this person. Though I don't see why it would be necessary as, like you said, he still did what he did. But I don't think he's "out for blood." As for Technicals calling out John Swan, at least from what I can understand at the 33:44 mark, that seemed to be about John Swan lying about an apology given to Pieman for saying he was suicide baiting while John was, at the same time, reinforcing that Pieman was suicide baiting. I think Technicals brings this up to show John Swan thinking that anything related to suicide in situations like these is only suicide/sympathy baiting because they didn't actually go through with it and for ZeRo that there isn't evidence to suggest he did or might have. Which Technicals responds to perfectly fine at 35:44.

I dropped out of this saga a long time ago, but I'm glad to find out that I'm not crazy for thinking Swan's "debunk" video sucked ass and was just a shitty attempt at reviving his channel. Some of my favorite parts include: 1.) Accusing Technicals of welcoming EDP445 back if he had a sad backstory, even though he showed a clip of Technicals saying he wouldn't and doesn't consider him the same case. In the same video no less. 2.) Basically doing no research at all on Technicals' Nairo stance. I even said the same thing about how that whole section could've been scrapped if Swan just watched the opening of "Ban Nairo". 3.) Stating that Tech's P word definition (suggests past, present, future, and potential harm of children) sucks because it wouldn't apply to a NoMAP. Even though... it would? That's like saying an alcoholic isn't a potential drunk driver because they say they won't drink and drive, the potential doesn't just go away because they say the won't do it Swan... 4.) That stupid "painting a narrative" schtick throughout the video, as if it isn't easy to accuse someone of ulterior motives (Swan is just painting a narrrative and using this poor victim to get his shitty channel back! Wah!) nor would it even matter if the video is still based on facts. 5.) That goofy parody of Technicals' style.

This argument is getting old and Technicals has had to repeat himself over and over again on this point. His Twitter and KZbin have both made these claims. These aren’t words that I’m pulling out of thin air. In another comment somewhere on this video, someone made the statement that it is illegal to cross boundaries in order to make the age of consent legal. In other words, if you (not specifically you. I’m not attacking you.) were to go to a country to have sex with a minor, then it’s illegal. So let’s say the age of consent somewhere else is 12. If you traveled to that country to have sex with said 12 year old, it is illegal. I think from the context provided, Zaptie would have to travel somewhere for the age of consent to be made legal. Meaning, he is moving somewhere to be legally right, which in itself is illegal. Technicals didn’t put this in the video (save your time trying to find this point), but it’s just something to think about. Again, I’m not trying to attack you. I hope you have a wonderful day.

So the implications of his words don’t matter if he blatantly says the opposite. He is insistent on the Zaptie comparison because there is inherit human bias behind Zaptie’s defense. In other words, the people defending Zaptie are being hypocritical by deplatforming others for doing nearly the exact same thing as Zaptie. I think Technicals just wants to maintain consistency in voice and morals. If you hold one person to a standard, you should hold everyone to the same standard. He even stated that he thinks it should be ok for Zaptie to have a community as long as that community accepts him. Why should Zero not have the same chance?

You know another thing that's fucked up? The girl could get charged with manufacturing and distributing CP, whereas ol' Zap would get charged with possession. Manufacturing and distribution carries a heavier sentence than possession, so the girl could end up facing more sever punishment than him. I don't know about you guys, but I don't think we should be condemning kids to forever be on the sex offenders list for fucking up like that. It's basically the same as charging kids for getting molested, with the reasoning, "well you were also involved in the illegal act, so you're also culpable". If they're unable to consent to sexual activity, then surely they cannot also be held responsible for sending pics. It should be only the adult that gets punished in these cases. Classic letter of the law vs. spirit of the law situation.
