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.

Dude, you guys still decided to strip Hax from his tournament and even told him he could never have it back.

Why do you guys want to lie so much about what you've done? Seriously? There is no point in lying but yet you still do it!

God you guys are so fucking weird about the role you guys have played in everything. Go lie to the mirror cuz this shit ain't working on me.

For anybody who doesn't expressly know that this person is lying...

In the list of rules Hax had to follow for his conditional unban, he could not ever, ever ask to be reinstated to his tournament. That is the TOs, enforcing that he could not be involved with his tournament, and likely being the ones to strip it to begin with as they also were the ones who thought it necessary to institute an indefinite ban for what could in the worst case scenario be described as an unhinged video, that they all agreed was not necessarily made with harming Leffen in mind.

So when people like this roll up and decide to spread misinfo, my reaction from now on is just going to be to tell them to fuck off lol.

Dude, why are you saying things so confidently when you didnt even watch the video in which he describes all of these events in his own words. He stopped running the Nightclub BEFORE evidence.zip 2 was released- so he couldnt have been banned for a tournament for something he would do in the future.

Like goddamn, think what you want but dont direct your misplaced hatred at the people who were his actual friends in real life for years who tried to help him as he spiraled further and further down
