@CrashStuck @NerdAthleticz @JustDaltonNow But, I would also negotiate it with Team Liquid and try to figure out a solution that is in both party's interests. Like, more Coinbox for example.

@CrashStuck @NerdAthleticz @JustDaltonNow But, I personally would never want to be part of a community that does that to people at random. If they can do that to him, they can do that to anyone. I would never put myself in such a position. I would still do Coinbox and streaming though.

Remember when Hbox cried on stream and promised to become a mediator for banned players who sought a path to reintegrate into the community, only to immediately fold when Mekk publicly asked for his help after having all his personal information doxxed? I personally know people who attended Hax’s funeral and spoke to Hbox. He told them that he wanted to do something for banned players and to ensure that nothing like Hax’s death ever happened again. It’s been a year since then, and Hbox has done nothing except play it safe, the same cowardice that got Hax killed.

@NerdAthleticz @JustDaltonNow Which is the same reason nobody spoke up in the first place.

@JustDaltonNow I believe he probably actually wanted to. However, the leftist cult and troons definitely slid in his dms and let him know what for. Instead of standing against them, he's taking the coward's way out.

@SSBGyromight @Technicals_ Before so many false allegations were made and discovered, it would have made more sense to believe people, but after like the 50th false allegation (many were accusations of criminality), at some point you need to vet the allegations and not just believe everything people say.

@Technicals_ You’re right in that false allegations happen (especially amongst younger members of the community) but we can’t use that to hand-wave away every allegation that comes in

What I really struggle to understand here is how this keeps coming up in the Smash community. Obviously stuff like this happens everywhere but I feel like Smash is the only place where I see it THIS often. What about our scene attracts people like this? Something’s gotta change.

@HajhahHzhz92168 K.K. Kluxicals? Is that what we're doin here?

@llreigenll @ssbmhax I'm not a leffen fan. No techncicals retweets from people like manalord and the like. Literally credits them in videos.

I genuinely dont understand the @TSM_Leffen hate. Does he have a ego? Yes but mostly everyone playn at that lvl in anything does and its kinda earned honestly. I think this community just to sensitive and needs to grow up ngl.

@HajhahHzhz92168 @ssbmhax I understand you're a Leffen fan, but that doesn't make Technicals this. youtu.be/PulfeZMIAso?si…

@llreigenll @ssbmhax Technicals do not care, he openly associates with literal neo nazis like manalord.

@HajhahHzhz92168 @ssbmhax @DthrowDtilt @BrinyDuck @illusionzFGC @TSM_Leffen I don't know if I would trust that. Maybe he DM'd him once, but he was suicidal so it seems understandable he might reach out so he can play the game again, even if it meant playing with another community. That doesn't make him a neo-nazi. Like Haxs mom said, he was apolitical.

@llreigenll @ssbmhax @DthrowDtilt @BrinyDuck @illusionzFGC @TSM_Leffen Manalord released a DM showing Hax was interested in attending Manamonthly, though he never did. Manalord also claimed they were secretly friends. Hax was at a minimum in communication with him. Though Manalord could be lying they were friends.

@esemdw I feel like BTS and Ludwig dogpiled on, and, other parties had a lot to do with it too. If it was just Gimr I doubt Panda would have gone bankrupt.

Incredible that the dude who torpedoed the panda cup bc his business was failing still has more decency and maturity than the rest of these TOs

@ssbmhax These are not misunderstandings of course, since these are Leffen fans. They lie and act just like him. They are sad little boys who act like mean girl psychopaths.

@ssbmhax And for the record, Hax's mom may not know what the word Groyper means, but it basically means people who are fans of Nick Fuentes, who essentially has white nationalist and anti-jewish views. People like TheManaLord. Technicals, a BLACK MAN, is obviously not one such character!

@Technicals_ I doubt leffen would have said that had he not been drunk. Had he been sober, he would have realized they were trans and not to be trifled with.

Leffen has apologized for his transgression. Now to see how they feel about the "I'm drunk" defense. A classic Mang0 gambit

Leffen just misgendered a trans woman. That’s a BIG no no in the FGC buddy! Funny how that’s genuinely more likely to get him banned, rather than years of documented bullying and manipulation. But we’ll take it

@i9ndigo @SSBPMSoulpech @Technicals_ Given there have been 4-5 attempts so far, there should be maybe like 12 in total by the end of his first term. Maybe this will just become the new normal even after the next election, who knows. Democrat president, no attempts, Republican, like 12.

@SSBPMSoulpech @llreigenll @Technicals_ God

This is not at all surprising to anyone

@Technicals_ How many democratically elected presidents must we kill to restore liberal democracy, Tech?

If you were to tell me that someone got politically radicalized by the Smash community, I would just believe you.

@Mashiro_yuh @e1lGbgesXf33245 @Fervegal1 Free viewing with ads makes a lot of sense, that is like how TV works. In the 90s and 2000s when Dragon Ball and Pokemon aired in the West, that's how it was done. You can also sell toys, trading cards, etc. It's more profitable to farm rich people and not act against piracy.

@Mashiro_yuh @e1lGbgesXf33245 @Fervegal1 Probably. Why did streaming services, such as Crunchyroll stop providing free anime viewing (with ads)? I am sure they ran the cost-benefit analysis, and determined that they could make MORE money through a paid subscription service (which wealthier people subscribe to).

正直に書くね。 「海賊版は駄目だというが、なら公式に売ってくれ！こちらは金を払いたいと思ってる！」 まではよくわかる。 しかしその次の 「確かに公式は売ってるが高いんだ！だからオレたちは海賊版を使う」 は分からない。買えるんなら買うって話はどこに行ったの？ 私はアメコミを一冊5000円で買ってるよ？ ローカライズという手間と暇でコストが掛かって本家よりも高くなるのが当たり前なのに（数倍の値段が適正かどうかと言う問題はあるが）本国並みの安価で売らないから買わないってどういうことなの！？

@tejinasi @biruga010 @ObviousRises @Rinne_yt Well, it is at least something to be proud of that all of these people from around the world are watching Japanese content, whether they pay for it or not. Are they watching Russian content? Chinese content? Indian content? Not really, basically zero.

@biruga010 @llreigenll @ObviousRises @Rinne_yt ＞reigenさん ごめんね。 気持ちが削がれちゃった。 失礼しますね。

The Japanese community is calling out Westerners over piracy, and it sparked a heated discussion. User (luckynosu) asked: “Why is it that so many Westerners can't understand the Japanese way of thinking that hates justifying theft?” But another user (TakumiTakumado) pushed back, pointing out that one of the biggest piracy sites reportedly gets around 45% of its traffic from Japan. It highlights a clear disconnect: in Japan, piracy is widely viewed as outright theft with little tolerance for excuses, while in Western spaces, it’s often justified due to accessibility, pricing, or availability. Meanwhile, the scale of the issue is massive, Japan estimates online piracy caused over ¥5.7 trillion (~$30B+) in digital content losses in 2025 alone.

@biruga010 @tejinasi @ObviousRises @Rinne_yt Where I am from in Canada, the cost of living is also very expensive. A home costs 230,000,000 yen, and the median salary is about 5,000,000 yen. Western people also value charity. If they could give tips to low paid animators, they probably would lol..

@llreigenll @tejinasi @ObviousRises @Rinne_yt 日本と海外消費者の間に居る人達が、価格を上げてるのが一番の問題なのかもしれない。 日本だと子供とか大人がワンコイン(今はちょっと高くなったけど)を持って好きな漫画を買うんだよ(´･ω･`)

@tejinasi @ObviousRises @Rinne_yt And of course my main point earlier was, if we accept that this Peruvian person is going to download this product (because he faces zero repercussions for it), how do you make him buy your product? They largely fixed the problem in the gaming industry with DRM (such as Denuvo).

@tejinasi @ObviousRises @Rinne_yt This of course does not make it justifiable, but say you are a Peruvian without very much money but you still want to watch anime, then you might download it. "The corporation has enough money", "it doesn't harm them besides reducing their profits".
