I came across an article on Kotaku about the hatred and threats that Zero receives in the Smash 4 scene:

There are other examples such as Day screaming during Zero's sets at tournaments (GTX 2017 for example). This isn't just limited to Zero. Salem, Captain Zack, Mistake and other Bayo players are recipients of immense hatred in this community. This is evident from hateful Twitch comments and lack of applause when Salem wins tournaments.
I feel a discussion about this bullying and animosity towards certain players in our community is needed. How do you guys feel about this? Are there other examples you guys can think of? And, more importantly, what can be done about this?
