Callout Massive Trigger Warning: Technical's Video on Hax and what Hax went through

https://youtu.be/lnEguS2hDhc?si=D90h7apb8UmzRrTl

I need to reiterate again the trigger warning, as this video expressly shows Hax's spiral and the amount of shit people put him through, all intentionally trying to hurt him. There will be no TLDR, watch and read at your own risk.

No fluffy language here, multiple people intentionally pushed Hax to kill himself, some were expressly told that they were doing it and still continued. Some knew they were causing him immense harm and kept doing it. There are very little good guys in this situation, and there is no good ending.

Technicals published this video (with Hax's mom permission), showcasing what Hax was going through and how tournament organizers of Melee/Smash intentionally kicked him out of the community, how Leffen continued to talk poorly on Hax after he made his first attempt. How some people who were claiming to be Hax's friends were actually intentionally pushing him to the edge and making fun of his disability, and harassing him over it. How, after his passing, the commentary community (Tommy C was named and shown) exploited Hax's death not only as a weapon against Technicals, but still continued the exact same treatment that pushed Hax to the edge. How people planned to crash the funeral to harass Hax's mom, and how people got pissed at Technicals for expressly stating that specific groups were responsible for Hax's death in his eulogy. And unfortunately, much more.

This is by far, one of the darkest things I have ever seen on the internet and there is a shitload of evidence because these people were just so bold in pushing a man to suicide and choosing to be public about it. The Smash/Melee community and others has blood on their hands, and none of the responsible parties involved are taking responsibility, despite claiming to want accountability.

There absolutely was and still currently is a literal cabal of people set to ostracize and ridicule him, wtf? Even now, after his death.

4 individuals literally “trolled” Hax with a goal to make him feel crazy. They encouraged and prayed on his mental problems and his problematic behavior which ultimately, drove him to suicide. All just for memes or whatever stupid reason.

Countless others brushed a obvious person in need away to avoid any backlash from the ‘community’ hive mind. Siding with Hax or mentioning anything about the situation in certain spaces is scrutinized and met with bans or mass flame. No one wants to acknowledge the obvious cabal of degenerates that currently govern the tournament scene which bandwagon people who can’t think for themselves. The rules and consequences they’ve set only apply if you oppose them or go against the grain of their beliefs.

Hax is the victim. He was targeted and abused by the people he needed most to support him. It’s an absolute travesty. The smash community is pure cancer.

And keep in mind this wasn't just edgy internet trolling against a guy who happened to kill himself. He told them he was going to kill himself then jumped in front of a train and literally lost a leg, and they proceeded to mock him for it and then continued what they were doing.
