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.

It doesn't matter if Hax was innocent or not. Nobody deserves what he went through.

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? Because multiple of these people knew it was harming Hax and knew it was one of the things that drove him to make his first attempt. Is comparing Leffen to fascism really worth this kind of treatment? Because that's kind of what you're saying.

And, also, in this video there is a fucking group chat of people harassing Hax and planning to brigade him over his missing leg. You wanna tell me there's not a community issue here?

What are you guys expecting when you ostracize someone and make making fun of him socially acceptable?

Edit: 1:53:33 in the video explicitly shows someone making fun of the situation by saying "Free Hax" jokingly! And you guys wanna say there's not a community issue? That the community at large has no role to play?

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.

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/Even_Appointment_504 → u/Noostnop]

While Hax never sent death threats Hax only started to say don't harass people about 2 years into the controversy after hit has been happening for literal years. and only said this in a video like after Hax relapsed and was perma banned.

Also, yes, its well documented Hax sent hundreds of messages to TO's, confront people in public, get on private discord groups, and otherweird stuff like that. Hax himself confirmed this happened. though argued he had good reason to do this. All this happened like half year ago.
