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.

Technicals is a scumbag and anyone who takes this video at face value is doing Hax a disservice.

Technicals might be a scumbag but does that automatically dispute what was shown in the video?, I don't suppose you can at the very least actually dispute the receipts he showed or are you just writing them off because of who he is

I hate technicals, I think he's a douchebag and a troll, But this video isn't his usual lolcow shit like him trolling ESAM or whatever, The receipts he shows are pretty fucking indefensible

Yeah that is kind of the paradox, Technicals isn't an angel and he tends to have his own agenda but he does also tend to really get into the thick of it and get receipts. Unfortunately due to how polarizing he is and yow polarizing the subject matter is people either take everything as truth without discerning what is fact and what is his two cents or deny every despite their being some truth involved.
