Smash Ace
First off I'd like to start by saying this thread is 100% serious.
As a frequenter to SRK I noticed a little article that had made its front page. It was about infractions being handed out to players. So at a smashfest last night I inquired about what happened. I was told M2K was red carded for bracket manipulation...again.
But wait, he won Genesis right? So how did he manipulate the bracket? Apparently while in pools he allowed a female smasher win a set so that she could advance out of pools.
It's obvious to me that the BBR-RC doesn't get much action with the ladies if they really red carded M2K for this. If the situation happened as M2K forfeiting for ****s and giggles then okay, dish out the pain.
The problem is that rules are objective and take no subjectivity into account. We just say "well he forfeit so card him.". The real question is why did this event happen. I'm more than sure if I as a large black man went up to M2K and asked him to forfeit out pools match he would politely decline.
This situation is different however. Instead of a sweaty, nervous male, the accomplice was a female. We all know (or should know) that women have power over men and can persuade them to do things they normally wouldn't.
My point is that M2K did nothing wrong. He did just as most males would do and fell victim to female persuasion. If that was a crime, most men would have done time before they turn 18. M2K is a victim and his red card status should be repealed and instead the female persuader should be issued a yellow card. She is the true guilty party as she manipulated M2K into performing an action he normally wouldn't.
This objective viewpoint has created a victim when it was meant to protect them.
