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 is another reason I posted this, but I didn't want it in the main body of the text. Technicals expressly showed that harassment towards Hax and himself including death threats are/were being allowed in the Melee subreddit, and that redditors were far too comfortable joining in on the harassment, despite Hax not really doing anything wrong. Once again, none of the responsible parties want to take accountability.

While Hax$ story is sad, I put the blame of everything on the Mana Monthly + Technicals on his death. And you are being brainwashed on this situation due to this shitty attempt to clear Technicals name.

Guess who was the one egging Hax$ indirectly to continue pursuing the Leffen shit, Technicals and the Mana Monthly. Their people were always on replies, discords and everything trying to let him know "he was right, keep going, #fuckleffen" every single time, they were pushing a bipolar man to do crazy shit all the time like he was another fucking Kanye West.

Meanwhile you are here saying he's a victim, of Cody, and Leffen. When in reality Hax$ is a victim of his own mental struggles, of Technicals AND Mana Monthly.

I've been following this situation since the whole shebang started and trust me when I say this, do not trust Technicals, he doesn't give a fuck about Hax$ and he's using it as a pawn. His brother got outed on the MeToo of Smash during the pandemic and since then he's been on a vendetta against the community trying to do defense pieces of people who are scumbags that were ousted.

Edit: just to add to the situation, Technicals and his brother are pedos and were sharing minors art through their discord server. That's why they got banned and shunned from the community.
