Mew2King Is Innocent. Accuser Apologizes. Cancel Culture At Its Worst. 

love ya.

It's really sad that he had to reveal very personal information to defend himself. This resulted in pure harm towards him. Please show him some love and STOP jumping to conclusions.

Honestly, I think false accusations should be labeled as a felony and should get serious jail time. False accusations can seriously ruin lives.

False accusations should be held accountable ur basically trying to ruin someones life/career & it takes away from the actual victims

People say “just don’t be a creep”, but if he didn’t have any receipts, he probably would have been screwed in this situation.

WHEW THAT'S ONE GUY THATS GOOD

Sakurai to Sony: "Yeah, the Smash community disappointed me. Let me take control of 'Playstation All-Stars Battle Royale 2' and all you just have to do is tell me who you want in."

Why are we not as outraged at the person who spread these lies as we are at everyone else?

"Innocent until proven guilty." Seems everyone's forgetting this crucial phrase. Knee-jerk reactions get rewarded left and right on this toxic platform, and when the accused actually turns out to be innocent, it will have already been too late -- the damage will have been done. The recent events have truly been terrible, but please, for the love of all that's good and holy, don't forget that phrase. Let your thoughts simmer, and don't react purely based on your first impressions or emotions. Stay strong everyone

I wish people had the mentality of what you explained in the beginning. It's always extremes when you look at twitter and it honestly makes it hell to focus on the topics at hand. Thanks for your input on this.

Just watched M2Ks stream... I can’t believe people would make fun of him for that. People couldn’t be more messed up. So so so much props to him for standing up for himself. Stronger man than I am

I don’t understand how everyone is being so calm about this mess and what he was accused of? You only have his back and support him now because he was forced to admit a very personal (none of anyone’s business) secret and knowing how fragile m2k is, this is gonna be horrible for him. He has such low self esteem, combine that with his social miscues I can’t help but think he’s gonna take all the “support” output of fans towards him negatively. All involved in spreading that false rumor and forcing him to open up about a subject that he claims plays a huge part in his negative mental health should be outed/exposed and banned from the community. It’s pitiful the world we live in. The problem isn’t cancel culture as a whole, the problem is we’ve moved on to guilty until proven innocent at the drop of a hat. That’s the part we need to change, nothing else

Why were the accusators names blurred out huh? Those people tried to witch hunt and ruin Jason's life Why not the opposite way as well???

I love how Leffen doe's not even apologise for his part in spreading the rumours. He has been acting like as if hes the white knight calling out every and all accusations and banning anyone who dare doubt them without evidence or as he calls it 'victim shaming'.

1:27 for a second I actually thought he was talking about Zelda dabbing

There are no words in the English lexicon that can describe how disappointed I am in the person who made that false accusation. Like what the hell?

Just got Twitter so I could stay on top of all this news. I think the biggest thing is to remember that this false allegation doesn't mean other allegations are false. Poor mew2king man

This guy speaks so fast, and sometimes he sounds like he's crying ._.

How dare that person spread this terrible rumor about Jason. Especially from 8 years ago. He's a big inspiration to players that wanted to start Smash. From all the way back to Melee..heck even to the first Smash game maybe. I mean..after Nairo, Keitaro, and D1 for example. Yes they did all of that horrible stuff and kinda need to get themselves help and stay away from the community so things can heal. But falsely going after M2K..and it's starting to become a witch hunt. I'm still gonna play Smash Ultimate regardless of the situation happening in the FGC. But please..don't be jerks and falsely accuse people that didn't do any of it and have them leave because of it as well.

There has yet to be a single instance where cancel culture accurately and effectively eradicated an actual evil. Most individuals who fall victim to public judgement were well within their careers with long documented examples of their conduct. The "Is over parties" and cancels are belligerent and uncalculated in nature

Thank god Mew2king is good. The only person I can look too at least

Just watched all your vids on your topic, thank you for showing the info simply and in one place. While I wish you wouldn't have to, keep on reporting it but don't let it get you too down. It's heavy stuff so take care

Should press charges for slander, along with all other false accusations

Damn, poor m2k having to reveal personal information to defend himself over false accusations. He was my favorite melee player and it just saddens me to hear he gets picked on over stupid things like having mental problems or not being able to feel sexual pleasure. Let's show this man some love and get rid of these toxic people that poison this community we call the smash community

You ever stop to think that cancelling people just leaves them with nothing to lose? People with nothing to lose are known for engaging in extreme behavior. That worries me.

I hope Armada is safe, he's my favorite ever and that would be devestating to me if I heard that he would become a part of this.

It’s heartbreaking that a sweet, innocent soul like M2K had to be put though this. As someone with Aspergers, I know what it’s like to be bullied for the way you think. He’s one of my greatest inspirations to keep being yourself.

i think people who make false accusations need to be equally cancelled. people are cancelling others for disgusting actions, making false claims to SLANDER somebody should be considered a disgusting action, idc how many sorrys or foot licks you give, people who actually are doing disgusting shit dont get off with a sorry so why should these people?

I'm currently on a drama spree since hearing about these stories a few hours ago. When I heard the phrase "prominent figures from the community" I immediately thought "not mew2king" and I am not surprised at all to hear he is innocent.

I’m happy he’s innocent. Wish I could say the same about the rest ...

You are are doing a great job handling these hard situations. Thank you for being good to victims weather they were assaulted or slandered. Youve been handling this with out attacking anyone.

I have Aspergers as well so this makes me look up to m2k as he is an inspiration for people like me

People doing this is what brings doubt against the accusers who are actually victims.

If you have allegations of sexual assault its real simple. Go to the police and file a police report

And there goes M2K’s career just because of a false accusation. We need to know who made these false accusations so we can cancel them, they’re worthy of it.

guy : "omg you're trash" popular figure : *gets shocked and bullied until they have to reveal absolutely private information to clear their name* guy : "omg i'm so sorry i was just lying we love you

The person who made this claim should face charges for false accusations and publicly outed/kicked out of smash community. At a time like this where many are voicing their desire for smash players to face legal action, this is definitely a situation that legal action should be applied.

I don't know if it's just your voice or what, but it sounds like your constantly holding back tears in this video. Good job for being able to hold back for the whole vid man.

I totally agree with you. You summed up the situation very nicely in this video. Twitter is filled with a lot of extreme opinions most of the times sadly. Luckily there are enough people who see that Mew2King did not deserve to be in this situation. It is also perfectly fine to help Mew2King in this situation while also supporting the victims who have come out about their experience with sexual abuse in the smash community. Kinda surprised that so many people on twitter are either saying "everyone is guilty" or "my favorite smasher is innocent no matter what".

And I thought guilty until proven innocent was only in ace attorney

*I didn't know any of this. Thank you for this video because now I'm informed.* :) I gave the video a like or thumbs up. Thanks again. :)

I wanna thank you Daedra for helping a stay connected to everything and having real opinions and being a good person

How fucked up is our society that they’ll just buy a snapchat screenshot from an indirect source as fact and use it to judge/ruin someone’s career. I can literally do this rn, I can just chat someone saying all this shit about a celebrity, screenshot it, and I guess nowadays people will actually believe me

As a victim/survivor of some assaults. People who falsely accuse should get in trouble

damn they also did that to gimr too, and that's actually my fear. i mean, things are getting to the.point were people on the smash community will start this cancel culture and destroy even more the community. i mean, i guess it already started somehow. i was thinking about start to play the new melee netplay but everything that's been happening just made actually take no will in playing this game in any shape or form. sorry if you people couldn't understand but english isn't my native language

Dude. Really top notch disclaimer at the start of the video. That alone deserved a like

Much love from Htown

I have Asperger's too. I couldn't have said what he did on the video. I wouldn't have stand the fame as well and stay hidden as I am now.

If they start sending false accusers to jail for the amount of time the defendants are facing. One case they'll ✋ that shit.

Wow, i’ve been following the current controversies, and this completely flew under my radar. You have now idea how much of a relief it was to see the words “mew2king is innocent”

Did Rina-chan (the falsely proposed victim) ever try to debunk the accusations against M2K?

Am I hearing the Gerudo Valley theme in the background?

The entire Smash scene rn is such a shitshow. I am downright embarrassed for it. Disgusting, awful, downright Satanic people ran around this scene and doing unspeakable acts for sometimes years at a time. It literally makes me sick. And every time I think about it I get pissed and start to tear up. It's just one thing after another. And every time something else happens I get more and more angry

Is that an animal crossing remix in the background?

Positive can come from cancel culture especially when the people whos quick to cancel gets exposed. But for the most part cancel culture is negative through & through.

i really hope this drama dosn´t bring him to the end

An "I'm sorry jason" isnt anywhere near enough to make up for such a life damaging lie

Thank you for this video. We need to rally around this man.

For that Accuser, an apology won't help after leaving a scar on the community that won't be healed. Even if you take account of your actions, you will receive serious punishment for it.

I just downloaded twitter again after deleting it, and this stuff happens. God.

It honestly pisses me off that bad actors are using this watershed moment of genuine revelation to attack people for their own gain. Just means we have to be vigilant in verifying things before taking any further steps

As soon as all this stuff came out in the community, I was like "please not m2k" lol, im glad

Why would someone actually do this

People who lie deserve the same sentencing the accused would have gotten if people believed it.

I never knew that about Mew2King. I feel so bad for him.

You're doing a good job reporting on these news stories in the Smash community. It's nice you're giving proceeds to charity. But if you kept some of them, I think that would be ok. Remember, even news papers keep profit when they report a story. You're not doing anything exploitative, like giving salacious opinions or making 10 videos on each accusation

Justice, small justice but justice. Such a hard thing to do.

Yo I hate to be that guy but that Marty clip at 8:30 was crazy

Accuser must be exposed and dealt with with the law or court of public opinion. Anything we were prepared to do to King we should do to them

Thanks for covering this. This is why innocent until proven guilty is so important.

Thank God he is innocent. I thought we were about to lose another one.

we need to get to a place where real victims arent scared to report these things to the police. Twitter should not be the place for judgement to be passed. Its good that the true allegations did come out, but false allegations ruin lives just as consistently and watching m2k's video made me feel so terrible. There is no reason he should have to defend himself there from behind a twitter screen. When something happens, REPORT IT IMMEDIATELY

This is why so many victims don't come forward. Even if its just the one case that's false, that's enough to make the community skeptical, especially when the accusations are against figureheads of the community. Then you see how the community reacts to the accuser when they come clean with the false information or when proven false. People need to learn to look at things from a neutral and objective standpoint and not jump to conclusions too quickly. Imagine what could've happened if M2K not been able to prove that these accusations are impossible. His career would've been ruined for absolutely no reason at all. And things could've gone further downhill from there.

That's so sad and messed up

I am going to clarify something about all this drama and controversy because it seems to be quite mentioned on this comment section and we're all NOW clear that FALSE accusations EXIST (based on what we could see in M2K's video… I'm very sorry for him and angry at the one who pushed him to this). I'll talk about ZeRo's case: he didn't assault or even touched anyone. Check all the information in detail. That's clear based on the statements with -and addressing others'- evidence he's made. He didn't know Katie was underage, he didn't even ever meet her in real life. He stopped talking to her as soon as he found out she was indeed underage, but he didn't want to hurt her, so he didn't block her, deleted her or cut ties in an aggressive manner… why? Because that's just the kind of person he is. After all he has experienced and years of depression, the last thing he wants is to hurt anyone. That is the same reason why he "came clean"… he clearly understands he did nothing (and less with bad intentions) but still apologizes because he is terribly sensitive to others' pain since he's known it very well himself. He did everything he could in order to help these people (which to me are definitely not on the clear side) heal from the alleged suffering. He is saying and doing all he's recently done BECAUSE he doesn't want to hurt anyone. He just doesn't have the tools to deal with the overwhelming toxicity of internet communities in his current mental state. ZeRo didn't deserve the shitstorm he got. The problem nowadays is that Men are guilty until proven innocent, and EVEN if proven innocent, people no longer listen to facts and proof (people just jump on the bandwagon without even researching; this is not limited to the smash community)… we're going backwards as a society who seems addicted to lynching people just to feel morally superior. This so-called "Cancel Culture" (rather: "I'll destroy you just because I feel like it and somehow I think I'll feel better about myself when I do") is the terrible result of an immature society which is undergoing an infantilization process overall (research on this, please) As I said, we're going backwards. The fact that M2K and ZeRo have been dragged to the point of having to make public the biggest personal secrets they had just to be a little understood, is a statement of how unfair is getting our society nowadays, specially if you're White, Male and/or Hetero. Besides, the Ice Cubes thing is very likely a false accusation. She had screenshots of many things but surprisingly she didn't have THOSE screenshots… on top of that, ZeRo said he never exchanged pictures with her. If there's no evidence, it's her word against his… so, my question is: why are her words without evidence heavier than ZeRo's words? Is it because she's a woman? Besides, ZeRo never touched her or even met her at any time face-to-face, so why are people blowing this out of proportion? Why are people throwing ZeRo on the same bag they threw DUDES GETTING BLOWJOBS and GALS ABUSING UNDERAGE KIDS? How is ZeRo -even if everything he was accused for was real- even nearly comparable to the previously mentioned? As I said, our society is going backwards. Look at the stupid controversy generated after Min Min's inclusion, for instance… this issue doesn't limit to Smash Communities. The world is going backwards. We're now closer to a witch-hunting society than to a rational one.

Damn this is crazy I love you daedraaaaaaa

This video needs lots of awareness to clear up any foggyness on Jason's name some people might have in their minds

It’s madding when this it could of been handle privately. That cancel culture ideology is reckless.

Absolute tragedy. I hope we find a way to move forward and find a solution that works. The change will not occur over night, but it definitely has to occur. With that being said, I hope we can continue supporting games like Super Smash, and enjoy it.

Alright I'll drop a like and a comment. Nice work my dude

I wonder what ever happened to innocent until proven guilty in this country. I feel like social media has completely erased this mentality from some people.

Correction: M2K hasn't released his book yet. He was referencing a chapter in the book he is currently writing... And was considering not including. The information he shared about this situation was new to the world.

I think it's time to normalize confronting people privately about situations before just RUNNING TO THE INTERNET WITH THEM!

I feel like it’s pretty dumb to say that cancel culture can be good in any instance, even if the person “deserves” it. The fact that cancel culture has the power to destroy someone’s career even if the allegations are false is disgusting. Nobody should have the power to ruin someone’s career over the internet even if they believe the person deserves it. Cancel culture is absolutely disgusting and I feel like saying that it is good in ANY instance shows ignorance to the reason why it works, and defending why it works if you are aware is horrible.

The worst part about this for me is he picked a very convenient time to reveal this rumor before verifying it with anyone. It's also worse because it seems like he was taking a cheap shot at a guy who, let's be honest, is a little weird so it was easy to make him look like a creep. Now it looks like he was the only one in this community that wasn't a creep

I don’t feel that you have the right to talk about m2ks personal problems for views... People should go and watch his video.

False accusations are despicable because they make it so much harder for survivors of sexual assault to speak up and be supported. I watched M2K’s livestream and my heart goes out to him and all the people in the smash community who have been seriously hurt. We need to figure out the truth and make the smash community safe for all men, women, and non binary

... I am honestly disturbed. What the fuck is wrong with this world?

Imagine seeing his community falling around him and then gets sucked in with lies, his accuser should be sued.

M2k should sue him for defamation

It's disgusting what m2k had to say r.i.p a legend it wont be ling and it will be extremely sad for a lot of us

The scariest part is they might have gotten away with it too if Jason didn't have the condition he has.

M2k is one strong man to have all of these things going on in his life for years and to still do something positive

Cancel culture seems to fast-acting. It sounds like a good idea when the court system won't do anything, but it seems to follow a punishment now, ask questions later mob-like mentality. I like the idea of the people getting justice but I am skeptical about this method of doing it, by the time I jump on the cancel train the damage and drama is already done. People need to cancel responsibly.

Instead of being internet warriors, I suggest someone takes action and try their best to put in jail the person doing false allegations. Writing "M2K is the best, he did not desetve this yada yada" won't do justice for Jason. If a group of many people acuse that person, then I am sure they are going to jail.

Thank god he’s safe. If I believe in anybody to be clean it was Jason

I was starting to lose hope. Good thing there are still living gods out there

I hope people never stop hounding the accuser

The person that posted that really should be cancelled, sued, put in jail, he deserved all of the threats he gets I can’t stand how he would do this and people beloved so easily

See, THIS is why whenever I hear an accusation, I take it with a grain of salt. A lot of the time it’s not even true. And when it IS true, lots of people tend to not believe it, as these types of stories are WAY to common. It’s the classic ‘boy who cried wolf’.
