#nooticing how onin is the only openly queer top steve and consequently is the one that gets the most bullied?? hmmm

Booing onin off the stage into a dq after winning is deadass so fucking lame. Crowd should feel ashamed of themselves for showing out in such a negative way for a player with immense talent. You can hate steve however much you want but alienating a HUMAN over a video game is dumb

Smashcon highkey ruined for me, Dont want to watch anymore, shit ruined the tournament for me

Good god i forgot that Onin also gets misgendered constantly by community/commentators and u wonder why they feel unwelcome here Average smashers are all fucking manchildren bums who will never feel the touch of another person / never even see 1/20th of Onin’s success

Onin is a great player and doesn’t deserve hate. The fact that they’re so harassed and booed that they felt the need to dq shows how bad it’s gotten

Publicly shaming and bullying onin who is fighting tooth and nail for a spot on stage into DQing and then celebrating it gleefully like its a gift from god is really solid grounds that the smash community is easily one of the worst out there we are not beating the allegations

I miss the game and community I fell in love with 💔🥀

we see y’all deleting those tweets too. y’all are not slick in the slightest

its gonna take someone like onin to kill themselves for people to actually realize that maybe if you dont like a character you should just not cheer instead of boo

This can't be just "the one night that everyone says nice things about Onin on Twitter and shames the people harassing them." This has to be the start of a dramatic and widespread shift in perspective across the broader community. Grow and do better, or get out.

ESAM is 100% right, even with the wording. something tragic is gonna happen and you are going to get everyone coming out of the word work saying "we should be better man" and its the same exact people who caused it This shit needs to change before something tragic happens man

i will kill anyone who boos and misgenders onin with my bare hands

Onin is such a strong competitor and deserves support and cheers, not boos and hate If they go to Riptide this year, you better believe I’ll be behind them for every match, cheering louder than all the booing combined

I wrote this really quick sorry nothing crazy I am fine lol but some of you are so two faced it’s insane… I know for a fact some people don’t respect me as a person and just write it off as “this is Steve hate not Onin hate” to get away with it

“Boo’ing is a part of competition” is true but also I feel like it would only make sense to go through with it if you make a living off said competition. Smash is awesome but I am NOWHERE close to making a living off this game. So to put up with it is a lot less justified for me.

No matter how bad things get, music will always be there for me ❤️
