We also thought The Pokemon Company was gonna do a remake but we see how that turned out (i.e. "he had Johto plushies behind him!"). If anything, I think it will be Super Mario 3D Land and 3D World ports to Switch. But I would love to be pleasantly surprised since Super Mario Sunshine hasn't seen any love since its release.

@MrBlacky People in a club aren't competing or providing entertainment for others to enjoy. It's more like if the DJ and bouncers did something illegal. Or if there was a restaurant where you heard a couple of people were fired for spitting in the food. Would you want to go have lunch there? How do you know all the spitters were fired? That's just the natural human reaction. It's unfair but true.

@UmbreonsPapa I understand that going through the proper channels can lead to similar results. However, Twitter cannot dole out justice or provide legal counsel. Also, cops and lawyers usually don't send out death threats like randos on Twitter will (and have). Testimonies should be published on Twitter in tandem with legal counsel which gives much more credibility to the accusations in the eyes of most.

@Deliesh You have the right to believe what you want, and I agree that it's fine as long as no one harasses or takes action against the victim or accused.

My issue is when massive amounts of people take one side or the other to the extent that public opinion demonizes one or the other without knowing what happened for certain. Victims or accused people's lives and careers can be ruined just from public opinion which isn't fair to either.

Taking sides should not be encouraged without ample evidence.

@TG16_IS_BAE Exactly. Why would people want to punish these victims even further by cancelling the pro Smash scene? They haven't been through enough already? The victims obviously love Smash and gaming in general and it's not fair to end it because these disgusting actions came to light. We may discourage others from doing the same. We need to move forward and find a way to repair the community and competitive scene.

We should always listen to victims and encourage them to come forward. Believing victims by default is a dangerous mindset however which is why in the U.S. people are innocent until proven guilty. Both sides need to be heard and evidence presented before someone is deemed guilty or a liar by anyone.

It also irks me that the victims won't go through the proper avenues (police, lawyers, etc.) when making accusations. Twitter is not the place to do this. We will have idiots taking sides and sending death threats and that doesn't solve anything.
