I'm going to agree with meiling
Wtf are you nerds talking about.
Yall need to chill, any threats were probably sent by some neckbeard in Basement who doesn't go to events and just wanted to cause drama
There's not going to be any bombing threats, that's ********. What sane or even insane person would threaten that many people, many of which are probably thier friends who they traveled with, and endanger those lives over a game not being in a tournament?
if something does happen, it's because the individual was mentally unstable to begin with, not because a group of people were salty
And stop with the ****ing generalizations of games and thier players, throwing blanket statements over "melee players" is just as bad as those few melee purists who only rag on pm. It's childish.
I don't normally agree with mech when he is in these pissy/serious moods, but guys just stop and grow up
actually when i said that, i meant it literally i just got home and had no idea what was going on
but ill be completely honest about one thing, the smash community in general has no ****ing idea how to handle drama, you're all terrible
lets think about some of the things that happened in the last couple years that people tried to over dramatize, and what actually happened
Unknown choking inui for heckling him repeatedly when asked to stop; "BAN HIM FROM EVERY TOURNAMENT, IT MAKES OUR ENTIRE SCENE LOOK BAD, WAHHHHHH"; Banned from Apex, no one said "OH MAN ONE GUY GOT CHOKED BY ANOTHER GUY, I GUESS I BETTER NOT GO TO SMASH TOURNAMENTS"
Marketing hoax by Gamestop (not by smashers, but by GAMESTOP,
A ****ING BUSINESS) is successful; "WAHH, IT MAKES US LOOK LIKE LIARS, ****ING GAMESTOP, KILL EVERYONE INVOLVED, UR ALL SELLOUTS" + plus complete ****ing morons outside the community starting rumors that the whole thing was planned by smashers; People got tricked, and due to the shame of being tricked so easily, they got all butthurt for no reason. Seriously, who gives a ****?
im about to leave in like 2 mins, id add more, but i cant remember anything else and prolly wont be able to type it up in 2 mins later nerds
TL;dr a large part of the smash community is trash at handling drama, y'all need to star in your own soap opera if youre tryna be that dramatic over nothing
