One of the things that has always been missing from Hax's statements imo is denouncing anyone harrassing leffen or pushing the agenda of his original video.
Apology isn't enough imo. You gotta say everyone that's supporting your original statement is wrong.

I was playing a guy with the "Shroomed" tag (ranked 31st in NA) yesterday on ranked, and took the second game. Wasn't really sure it was him, but he immediately runs it back and turns it on lol.
Then starts doing this shit last stock and I'm like "yeah it's him" LOL

- doesn’t acknowledge he still believes everything he posted in the original video and there’s proof of this
- deflects responsibility to TOs rather than taking true responsibility
- no mention of his behaviour behind the scenes, harassing TOs and community members.
Do better.
In January 2024, I was re-banned from the Melee community. I am making this video in order to plead for my life sentence to be reduced, as my more recent actions were taken in response to a lack of due process surrounding my ban from 2021.

This has gotta be one of my biggest dunning-kruger style pet peeves of all time.
The idea that a beginner can beat a pro in anything (chess, melee, whatever) purely because they’re unpredictable is so insanely stupid to me. It’s also so disrespectful to the people who win too?

Regardless of your views on Hax/the ban, if you are someone whose entire life revolves around Melee, it's critical you pursue other things, deepen other relationships, and develop a life outside the game.
A lot of this would've played out differently had this been the case imo.

If you ever find yourself disagreeing with how a ban is handled, remember this:
smash is a lot more like ur local bar, than a big corporation.
If you get banned from your local bar, do they have the resources to know whether you’ve changed or create that change? Of course not.
The whole Hax ban is so frustrating because there's genuinely such a messed up incentive around talking about it right now.
If you talk about the legit reasons for the ban, you get endless messages & harassment (including from Hax himself).
Means you only hear one side.

I think the thing smashers don’t get about the BBB situation is that it’s ok to assume BBB is trying to change, while also recognizing that it’s ok for people to still be skeptical of him. You have to prove you’re a changed person with actions first.

Having someone clean your house is definitely a privilege, but it isn’t necessarily a sign of ridiculous wealth either. It could be like once a month and not too expensive. Cost according to google is $25 an hour, so you might spend $50 every 2-4 weeks.

Also, at GOML 2016 when I was playing a Fox (as a Puff player at the time) you wanted me to hop off just so you could “turn it around and beat this fox” and when I said no you made fun of me. Maybe people are saying no because you’re not treating them well.

Not sure why some of the community defaults to treating TOs as if they belong to a cabal of smash illuminati, rather than treating them like regular people who're using their best judgement to do what's right, often with MUCH more information & context than you have.

Regardless of thoughts on Hax, I’m kinda surprised people disagree with the decision to reinstate the ban.

What Etossed did was inappropriate, and that Spark is 100% justified in going public. Still, it’s kinda terrifying that mistakes like that lead to a kind of temp “discourse” in an age of social media. Just feels very cold, punishing and not rehabilitative.

Thoughts (on vacay so can’t reply easily)
- Hax needs help. I’ve tried convincing him to see a therapist and it hasn’t worked
- the solution is not let him back out of pity. This is the reason why I and others have not felt like he’s stable to come back

Been saying this for a while with absolutely nothing but anecdotal evidence…but if you are very involved in melee it is absolutely worth looking into whether you are neurodivergent in some way.
The % of players and personalities that are is legit so high at this point
So uh…
Not sure the best way to go about this but I took a bunch of tests at people’s urging and EVERY single one of them placed me on the Asperger’s spectrum. All of them…
Does anyone have resources for official testing that don’t cost $2k…?

Tweets like this are incredibly frustrating to me. Taking a serious situation and saying “also I never liked that guy because of _____” dismisses the actual issue at hand.
Really disappointed with a lot of what I’ve seen on twitter the past few days.
Fun Fact: Etossed used to be Epicallytossed and was in the speedrun community 8ish years ago. He got banned by the Octodad community for cheating his runs.

It should be impossible to turn this moment into something negative; someone you love wants to marry you. And yet, this guy found a way

If you believe esports is important, you should support coaching at all levels of play. Paid lessons are common in every discipline.
And no, it doesn’t matter if you can make money from the skill. No one takes piano lessons to try and earn money, they just wanna learn.
I feel like Metafy is a scam for about 95% of players. I fail to see how paying for coaching is gonna help until you can execute with consistency. On top of that very few players actually know how to take on the info coaching can provide.

I'm not trying to say that Hax doesn't regret what he did, or even that he agrees with the actions of his followers. Still, I've yet to see anything that explicitly says "yo to the freehax fans, please stop harassing anyone, and please stop what you're doing. I was in the wrong"
