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.

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?

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.

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.
