Regarding Melee/Smash 4 "drama":
What is said in Twitch chat is not an issue. Twitch is a place to be anonymous and you can't control other people, so you're wasting your time complaining or thinking of ways to change Twitch chat.
For in-person issues:
Reminder: taunting, trash-talk, booing, etc. are all apart of professional sports. People boo teams(Melee is a team, Smash 64 is a team, Project M is a team, Brawl is a team, Smash 4 is a team) Reminder #2: Basketball was invented in 1891. So what can we safely assume based on this information? This kind of behavior isn't going anywhere.
So what are our options to make things better?
Well the most common remedy that is used by professional athletes and other FGCers users is:
Headphones.
The other option you have readily available is to grow up. If you're a teenager you have spent enough time in the "real world" to realize that when you're in a public place, unless someone is breaking the law, no-one is obligated make your life better. You better accept your surroundings or leave.
There are exceptions:
For example, I think 99% of us can agree that if and adult is talking **** to a young child, that is a problem that is addressed on the spot, not on Facebook or Smashboards.
The other exception I can think of is that if someone is saying something particularly personal and venom-filled. Then what do you do? Well that's an issue people have been dealing with since the first insult was slung, and spoiler: people are still doing it.
The moral of the story:
I'm not saying don't try to make changes or make a difference, If you think you can, prove me wrong but... what I am saying is remember you're wasting your time and energy. There are much more productive things you could be doing. Not only that, but also keep in mind you are irritating people like myself and turning them away from your cause.
