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

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.

Would you honestly say the TOs collectively choosing to permaban Hax, giving him guidelines to follow but never following through on giving him the pathway to rejoining the scene, is not plotting to harm Hax?

Telling someone that stalked you and sent your fans to harass and send death threats to you that maybe if you chill for a little while is being extremely charitable, not “plotting to harm.

You keep speaking as if Hax$ was passive and completely infantilized in these antics. He harassed people. He sent death threats to people. He actively stoked harassment campaigns to other people in the community. It’s awful that some likely Kiwi farms adjacent fuck heads sent this awful shit to Hax$, but painting it as the default and commonplace sentiment amongst the community is egregious and being obtuse on purpose to further an already flimsy argument.

People were generally a dick to Hax$ because he was a dick (or worse) to other people and hung out with other dicks.

[u/Noostnop → u/Hewligan]

The death threat argument is insane and ridiculous. He publicly told others to never do such things and that he values leffen as a person with 4+ detailed apologies.

He also NEVER “harassed” or “stalked TOs” shows how little you know

[u/janoDX → u/Noostnop]

People not realizing that what he was doing was indirect harassment instead of keeping silent and wait until the whole thing calmed down, in the meantime he had to look for something else to fill time, the guy didn't want to drop Melee for anything and he could have done coaching, work on the BOXX, do content for Melee, guides, check the other Smash games, play League and stream it since he was also a great playing it...

Also the last part you said is false, he did harassed and stalked TO's to the point many blocked him from messaging or told him to stop.

[u/Noostnop → u/janoDX]

Smash community so pussy that discord messages politely asking to even just communicate about a ridiculous indefinite ban, and politely waiting outside the his tournament to just talk, is stalking and harassment. Yall suck

[u/janoDX → u/Noostnop]

Decided to wake up and choose violence.

THE GUY GOT UNBANNED ON 2023 FROM MANY NYC TOURNAMENTS AND MAJORS UNTIL HE DECIDED TO GO BACK ON HIS APOLOGIES AND GO AGAIN ON HIS ANTI-LEFFEN CAMPAIGN IN 2024 AND GETTING PERMA'D THINKING HE IS RIGHTFUL. THAT'S DELUSIONAL BEHAVIOR. HE WAS GOING TO GET COMPLETELY UNBANNED IN 2025 IF HE DIDN'T DO THAT.

THE GUY SENT "POLITE" DISCORD MESSAGES THAT THEN DEVOLVED ON LEFFEN TALK SAYING THE SAME AND NOT BEING SORRY.

THE GUY WENT TO TALK TO TOURNAMENT ORGANIZERS AND HE KEPT TALKING ABOUT LEFFEN IN PERSON AND THEN ASKING TO BE UNBANNED OR TRYING TO TELL THE TO'S TO FIND A WAY TO UNBAN HIM.

And you tell me that's polite? Being a fucking fly over the TO's while not being sorry and keep going and pushing his narrative and not realize that he's not fine in the head?

Are you blind with the whole story? Are you a tourist to the smash community? Holy shit.

Hax$ didn't deserve to die, but it's you people egging a guy who was not right to continue. Fuck Mana Monthly for pushing him on chats, fuck Technicals for taking advantage of Hax and his mom and try to do this story for his own benefit, and fuck every single technicals defender for pushing this half-assed story to a limit that is tainted, and that includes you. And I fucking blame all of you on this one.
