Comment on Nintendo Cancels Japanese Esports Events Following Threats to Staff and Spectators
Lanusensei87@lemmy.world 6 months agoSmash (Melee specifically) has always attracted questionable people. So if it had happened there I wouldn’t be surprised… but this is for Splatoon of all things.

Specially melee? When the fallout happened, it was significantly more ultimate personalities who were confirmed problematic, mainly due to the fact that someone younger is more likely to have been playing ultimate(over a 20 year old game), which would lead to a higher chance of a negative interaction.
Splatoon also has some animosity towards nintendo as they were also behind the smash scene because they know that nintendo does not ultimately care about them, as caring about them leads to how Arms fizzled out.
