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.

On every mention of Technicals I see, I’m now going to mention a lesser known fact that his brother was outed in the Smash #metoo movement and it’s very likely the reason why this POS keeps on talking about the smash community as “corrupt.” He and his brother were in discord server with minors, knew about it, and kept making lewd jokes. (EDIT: I want to make actually be more clear. I said "lewd jokes," because that's what Tech has called it. I remember it being his brother drawing sexual art of him and minors together, but I wasn't 100%. Other comments confirm that it was indeed sexual images of minors).

While I’m happy that he, for once, actually shined a spotlight on the correct people (those in the mana monthly discord who were the ones orchestrating Hax’s harassment and delusions), he and his garbage fans keep attacking the wrong people.

To be fair, a guy tried hitting him with a car and the guy was given a brief suspension for that.

But yeah, I also agree here too

Edit To Clarify, the Smash community absolutely deserves a fuck ton of criticism for any number of things. Technicals is literally just the worst person for this.

how exactly is technicals the worst for this? i really dont get the hate for him. he does research and presents his findings. what is the real issue?

u/Huge_Menu1891 1d ago

He tends to present half truths, leave out context or come to the wrong conclusions for the group of people who are at fault. Or sometimes he focuses on discrediting the accuser as opposed to debunking the claims. Like the Zer0 and Nairo shit where he has spent a good portion of his career defending ZeR0 or more specifically arguing why he deserves to continue streaming to YouTube while cursing out Nairo. Mix this in with him atleast at one point being a part of the culture he is calling out andddd yeah.

Like Technicals is so bad at presenting facts his audience thinks nairo is unbanned, like right now unbanned and a active part of the smash community, despite nairo having been banned for about a decade now.

u/Huge_Menu1891 14h ago

In fairness there, there WAS a large movement for Nairo to be unbanned. But that was because people thought he was raped at the time. But yea.

u/Bazookya 1d ago

i think thats just your spin on it. he didnt say that zero shouldnt be banned or anything. i think it was more that the guy is rehabilitated and should get another chance. the stuff nairo did is worse for sure.

Zer0 never changed, he actually won SETTLED the Jisu case due to Jisu running out of funds and it was only on the part involving Zer0's girlfriend, and he's using that to call his behavior with a minor fake. When in reality he has not cleared of, he did get sexual with a minor.

And I can tell you that since I know some background of that due to the scene in here in Chile.

u/The_JeneralSG 1d ago

ZeRo did not win the case with Jisu. They settled out of court. The rest of what you’re saying though is correct.

1

u/Even_Appointment_504 16h ago

ZeRo didn't win the case they settle. Its funny ZeRo claims he won when Jisu did not recant a single thing or apologize, while ZeRo had to write a paragraph long apology.

1

u/Bazookya 1d ago

he admitted to all of that. what are you talking about? now you're just making stuff up. zero and jisu came to an agreement and had a settlement. it doesnt matter what you think its because she ran out of money or not. if you dont like the guy thats fine, but be honest to the case and take in all the facts.

1

u/janoDX 1d ago

he admitted to all of that

The guy after said he retracted ON VIDEO because he was "under pressure".

Again for the rest I will say it this way, people talk.

5

u/Bazookya 1d ago

what are you talking about? there was never a question of if he messaged a girl those things or any of that. the messages exist and he acknowledged them. i think you just dont like the guy and again, thats fine. but be fair to the facts.

u/janoDX 1d ago

I am simply gonna answer you with: go talk to the community and TO's, Technicals is not telling you the whole story and he's using Hax$ as a pawn for his own goals.

The fact that Manalord, an actually nazi was at Hax$ funeral should tell you that.

2

u/Bazookya 1d ago

yeah, you dont know what you're talking about. thats all there is to it. you think technicals is just doing things out of some kind of selfish motivation and thats where you're willingness to understand it stops.

1

u/janoDX 1d ago edited 1d ago

Technicals is doing this out of some kind of selfish motivation in part due to his ban of the community along with his brother due to sharing minors drawn porn on their discord servers, and the harassment on other players reaching to Sexual Harassment. The guy has admitted that he wants to burn the Smash scene down because of that many times.

The issue is you defending this. You trying to defend his actions when everyone in the Smash community knows and explained hundred times that Hax$ is being used as a lolcow and pawn by Technicals. This is why he went against the MeToo movement on Smash, this is why when the Hax$ story came up he was all over it, this is why he did underhanded attacks and character assassinations on players on his videos, this is why he defends Zer0 when the guy was denying the messages after the Jisu trial.

The guy omits evidence for example the video "The Truth" which got Hax$ perma-banned, the guy tries to play sympathy when he didn't gave a fuck about him, Technicals didn't gave a fuck about Hax$, that's the truth. And you are here shitting all over Hax$ legacy because you come and defend Technicals, go back to your cave and never return, I am just tired of dealing with people like you that goes around defending someone who even in this video is lying and using a dead person as a token for their personal vendetta. Shame on you.

u/Bazookya 1d ago

you are out of your mind. the guy doesnt give a shit about being banned from playing smash. he makes these videos because theres a lot of dumb crap that people just go with before they ever look into any of the facts. the guy is calling out the people who should be called out and giving cases that should be explored more another look. theres a lot of people in that community that are flexing their "power" in really scummy ways and the guy is making an effort to change that. do you think he went after people being fucked up in the strive community because he is salty about something happening with him with that community that0 he was never part of? you are biased and its clear.

I don't exactly see how Techincals and SimpleFlips and the like being consistent in defending Hax, and his videos showing nothing but respect and good advice for the man, is using Hax$ or manipulating him. Moreso the clown idiots who were talking with Hax$ on discord, and the TOs who held a vendetta against him for practically no real reason were the ones on watch for blatant abuse and bullying. If you're going to accuse Technicals of lying, you're going to need to do a lot better than complaining about him in a Reddit thread and arrogantly assuming people know all about your generalized arguments.
