It's a lot to process that the community I've been a part of since I was 13 years old was just using me for sexual purposes, tokenism, or to push their agendas and will discard me over nothing.
Smash is all I know, but do you think I can ever find happiness outside it?
It's almost like permanently isolating a person from their lifelong passion and forcing them to be unable to connect with others who share that passion is going to have a negative effect on that person's mental health. I truly, truly hate the smash community. It's so abusive.
I’m in a dire life situation and need help. I plead for the Melee community to unban me for the reasons explained, as I have nowhere to go without you all.
RTs appreciated.
No fucking way. I poured my heart and tears into this post to give advice to the girls and young women in this scene to protect themselves, and now a TO is blackmailing to take it down for speaking out about my experiences with a perma ban. No fucking way. Please see this.
@Brandon_Gordon2
Don't allow the incels of your region to be misogynistic towards them. Hold your male peers accountable when they're being weird towards us.
@adoseofmars
YES, she put it into words! I immediately block this genre of white people because for some reason they are also extremely abusive to *actually oppressed people*
@XsVerm
I do think he should have been banned for slandering a fellow competitor as "Hitler." I wouldn't say it be permanent though. To then make jokes/statements about his declining mental health and not see the correlation between isolating him and the decline is awful.
To the people that supported me through this cesspit, i love you so much. Seriously. I probably would have k**led myself 4 times over without you all helping me. I may come back. I may not. But for now, i leave this list i wish i knew i had when i 1st entered this scene at 14.
@MrsNickyClark
This is beautiful. I almost cried reading this because it seems like disabled women like me are always neglected and ignored. It made my night to see someone cares.
I do not think every man in the smash scene is bad. My best friends I've made in this scene are men. But there are so many creeps and weirdos in this scene that thrive off the lack of punishment and accountability of their actions, so you need to do this to protect yourself.
I've successfully sued Alabama T.O. KD-Linkstain. Below will be a Google document + thread of evidence attempting to clear my name.
Google Document explaining what happened:
Ok I'm done now. If existing as a disabled black woman and being around the community gave me like 5 mental illnesses for no reason and my local scene just decided to make it worse with narcissism/prejudice for lols i think it's a sign i need to retire, even if I love this game.
I don't exaggerate this btw. I almost killed myself in December over the abuse I've endured in the scene. Then the lovely resident incels in my scene slandered, mobbed, and harassed me for no reason with no remorse & almost made go back and do it again as a birthday gift. :)
This person said it's because of rule 4 and slandering the AL Smash scene. Even when I offered to compromise by removing the rule and posting it again w/o any mention of AL, she said no and I couldn't speak at all. And then said it's for bring PEPPER SPRAY & A KNIFE TO EVENTS.
This is to the "why every man?" people that seem to take it personally, like number 3 says. It's not every man, it's just to protect yourself with from the few. I really hope the young girls in this scene see this and don't brush it off. I really want them to be safe and succeed.
I have NEVER brought it out. There has been 0 rules ever laid out at ANY of these events regarding safeguarding even when I EXPRESSED FEELING UNSAFE AFTER BEING HARASSED ON MY BDAY, AND REQUESTING BAG CHECKS THEY IGNORED IT THE ENTIRE TIME. And now they're pretending to care???
@AutisticCallum_
We have to appear perfect and well-put-together at all times because if we ever show our autistic traits, we'll get dogpiled, judged, and preyed on. It's exhausting to be perfect, and I'm tired of pretending to be.
Please look at this
Are you fucking joking??? The reason i brought pepper spray IN THE 1ST PLACE was because you didn't care that I felt unssfe and there was 0 safeguarding and now u pull it out to try to ban me? (The Blackmailer is KD, not silky.)
This is exactly why I say you have to bottle up your emotions. You have to be tough the entire time no matter how much people mistreat you or make you feel because the instigators don't get punished. Only the victims for fucking having feelings.
They pretended like it was impossible to do weapon checks until this point to threaten and have a "reason" to ban me. Look at their rules. No security or safeguarding. No giving a damn until I spoke out about my feelings. Now they switch up but it's only to silence me. Fuck that.
I'll never get over this one time a guy beat me in bracket and have the nerve to ask me out shortly after
You made me go 2-2 with campy Mewtwo and you expect me to go out on a date? Should have let me win! 😤
I'm glad my retirement post reached so many girls and young women. Those are the people I cared about, I never want a single other woman to end up like me. In this scene alone with 0 guidance or help. I know I'll be disregarded by a lot of ppl but it's ok if it reaches them.
Being rejected doesn't mean you're wrong or not good enough. It just means that group/person doesn't see your value. It has nothing to do with you, and you should not fear rejection. Just find the people who *do* see your value, and cherish them.

"[Hitler] invented highways, invented the very microphone that I use as a musician."

@FataleRadfem
Their solution to everything is to say "This particular thing doesn't affect me. Therefore no one should care. Why are women so silly about things that don't affect me?" Like most of them are SO useless at problem-solving unless it's something they directly gain from it
@latinspaceman
Both kinds are terrible but at least the conservative homophobes don't pretend to be helping gay people whilst actively being homophobic/misogynistic towards them
When I used to stream, I'd talk in a fake, "professional" voice bc I was scared of ppl bothering me if i spoke naturally. I've been picked on a lot for sounding "high" or "sing-songy." When I stream splatoon 3 I'm gonna talk like me. I love authenticity even if the world doesn't.
@4cowsmoo
I also do not want to re-live these traumatic experiences. I would rather just get away from the person/people that caused it. Which is why I'm just flat out retiring. I can't have peace anywhere.
@MikeFilms419
Not every man is going to do that. I've met so many great men in this scene that I love dearly. But some men absolutely will and you have to make these precautions to protect yourself from abuse. It doesn't help that there's almost no consequences for if the abuse happens.
I am a normal (autistic) person who just loves playing platform fighters and making friends. Do not put me on a pedestal or expect me to be perfect. I will proudly disappoint you and then go back to playing platform fighters again lmao
@Jahzz0
Hard work does not pay off in this community. You can literally just show up, make up a bunch of lies about a completely innocent person, and destroy their career without any consequences. There are no consequences for predators/bullies in this scene.

I want to remind everyone that i have autism and am a mentally disabled sexual abuse victim. I don't understand social constructs/interactions. I've been open about the fact that i have a mental disability this entire time and instead of being patient/understanding they do this.
I hope yall don't mind these posts. For a good 3 years I've kept my feelings hidden with a smile trying to stay positive through blatant abuse. But I'm a human being, not a robot or sex toy. I need a break to have feelings. Thank you for bearing with me while i finally process.
My time competing in Alabama and Georgia Smash. Please have some compassion and give it a read. The people I spent years competing with have ruined me, and I am special needs and don't know what else to do but tell the truth.
Mutuals, especially autistic mutuals: When people label you as the bad guy, you can rarely ever change their minds. Don't waste time trying. Let them be wrong. Get out of the situation as fast as you can, and find or create a space that allows you to just *be.*
I'm in crippling pain right now because of my period, but I'm also happy. This will probably be my last time I feel this pain before I get my hysterectomy. This constant dysphoria will soon be gone forever. This will objectively change my life for the better. I'm so excited!
LinkStain is everything wrong with the smash community:
- Pretending to be a friend ONLY to (incorrectly) use DMs against you
- Lying for personal gain
- Virtue signaler publicly, abuser privately
- Selling out your closest peers for a crumb of clout
And it's celebrated.
I love talkers. They could be dumb as hell or a conspiracy theorist for all I care and I be fully invested in the story. Baby cousin explained to me in 100% gibberish for 2 hours the origins of all 58 of her Miis and I sat my black ass down and took it all in. Talkers are lovely.
the way im on this list while actively being sabotaged by manipulative, lying TOs is insane lmfaooo i couldn't even play fr
my last smash ranked placing and im proud as fuck of it. i'll be the GOAT again in ways you'll never expect 💪

I'm so excited to grind this game with friends and determined players again. Ugh, I miss that competitive itch so much and can't wait to geek out about it when it releases
