Nintendo Removes Splatoon 3 Champion Due to "Community Guideline" Violations 

AI art? Wasn't it man-made art that someone else lied about being theirs?

Now if only they got rid of hackers

@@boryontotheleader2328 At least with Twitter gone they removed that nude pinup Splatnet post within 3 minutes of appearing in Inkopolis when the stages updated during Splatfest.

@@ThePkmnYPerson The truth about generative AI is that it always steals art from someone else and then modifies the code so that it doesn't look pirated.

@@ThePkmnYPerson Nah it was Ai Art AND Traced art with the same guy submitting more than 3 entries which broke the rules leading them to get 6 slots in the top 300 (XvX)

Now if only they can disqualify the robot that caused thousands of players to quit during the March Mario Kart Tournament in 2023. It malfunctioned and began using severely obvious cheats and hacks after I got 1st place and then it edited the placement results immediately after I crossed the finish line. I was winning and would have likely taken 20th place or higher if it weren't for that cheating robot.

@@GamerOfPhonesWait, there was a “robot” in a mario kart tournament? Lol

@@SimoneBellomonte A cheating robot, I would have had a perfect score for 20 out of 24 racetracks, but it seems I was disqualified for not finishing one of the races. To clarify, I lost an entire 60 points to my total score. This happened after I got a 2nd place position behind the cheater two matches in a row watching them warp from one virtual checkpoint to the next, and immediately after I beat them, they swap scores with me on the record board and then use every cheat code unknown to man, generating a Lucky 7 at the begining of the track without ever touching an item block, then procedes to launch multiple blue shells in a row, and multiple red shells, and bullet bill, and crashes the server when it tried to use an item while steering a bullet bill.

Yeah... BUT IF I LOST A MILLIE ID BE MADDDDDDD😭

@@itsallinthesoup2543 Or they're salty while playing victim. Looks like their fans are mad at the disqualification based on comments saying racist behavior shouldn't matter.

@@ArcCaravan I feel like the problem is that they're saying racist things while playing splatoon and their avatars are being endorsed by Nintendo in game. They still get to keep their trophies, but Nintendo can't look like they approve of the behavior in game

@@itsallinthesoup2543 Actually Nintendo's says the racist team will be denied their trophies (which they may not have gotten yet).

@@ArcCaravan Oh, didn't know that. But nintendo's tournament I guess

Splatoon is a really good series, I don't even like shooters, but Splatoon is really fun

You might wanna get 3 before September 12th, as the Splatfest that begins that day will determine the theme of Splatoon 4.

@@paperluigi6132 oh really, first I heard that.

just get the game before sep 12, finalfest

Nintendo being a good company makes people want to buy their games, funny how that works out, I'm thinking of hopping on board with Splatoon 4 if it's a Switch 2 game.

True but it always happens in competitive tournaments I’ve seen way worse with people saying raise slurs but also raging at the same time. I normally see it in community lounge but I’ve never seen it go this far in a public world championships

@legacytag Dude, you have never been to Central America if you think that when in a 1st world cou try.

@@Emogeta Doesn't mean hating racism is a bad thing.

Just read all the comments And you, apparently some people don't think like that or are distorting it, which is bizarre to me💀 At least these people are in the minority (I hope)

@@arthursemeghinigallo3336 What??

They really did what's right. It's the kind of Community Guidelines that are non-RU-vid for a change.

i never heard anyone say that

@@giganticmoon taylor swift did

@@marcelmarcon971 its taylor swift, she stinks

​@@giganticmoon Don't say that. The Taylor Swift fans are gonna dox you like they have with other people that call her bad.

@@giganticmoon usually it requires you step outside and actually talk to people

It’s probably just a regular banner nothing special

@@Spyke7566 yeah more likely but a guy can dream lol

Imagine we can all customize it except them

@@Fe_Mikey2015eh I can agree to that

@@Fe_Mikey2015 speaking of gaming just completed my three dexs in violet

What did they do?

Exactly!

​@@darkdoctor1915 racism. Like, EXTREME racism

​@@justdex721thats normal, every gamer needs a built in racism to work, its like a system 32 to us

⁠@@Davidpoland2005you’re kidding, right?

I hope so

Most likely

Same here.

I'll be honest, I was using that banner without knowing it was actually a representation of a team that won a video game tournament who turns out they are jerks. Time to change it.

@@brass_dot_fox that's exactly right.

This is my first time hearing of them. Do any of them use a Pepe frog avatar on social media?

You are really emotional, if a cartoon graphic banner hurts you that badly I suggest you see a therapist for your own safety.

@latetothepartygamingright Dude, that's racist.

@@Emogeta he means Nintendo.

@@tessafroese992 LOL. Imagine defending a racist.

​@@Emogeta Don't have to, because I'm looking at one right now. It's you.

​@@SaltyToad00I know it wasn't their intention but they might want to rephrase that

You can't feel guilty for things you did as a child.

A rematch?! Nah Jackpot doesn't deserve a rematch after those racist comments

@@IAMYOLO2020 Maybe the rematch was referring to teams that would have gotten farther if Jackpot was disqualified sooner.

​@@IAMYOLO2020 well...why? Just because it's bad, it doesn't impact the play. It's not like they cheated.

@@xinpingdonohoe3978 actually one of Jackpot's members used a modded system so they could of had hacks for Splatoon on it stop trying to defend these creeps bro

@@IAMYOLO2020I think you forgot to read the last part of the comment

Yeah, because the Smash Community kept ruining things for themselves.

Caring for their fans and stomping oppression out? I agree.

People who won the recent official Splatoon 3 tournament were discovered to have used racial slurs to black people.

yup and another W to this is most the members of Jackpot will stop playing the game so we won't be seeing their sorry asses in games anymore lol

There's posts and images with team members confirming this.

No chance💀💀

I guess because it's not really relevant. If it was aimbots, that's actually to do with the tournament.

@@xinpingdonohoe3978 That still doesn't excuse Jackpot or anyone from making those comments.

​@@xinpingdonohoe3978When rules require good behavior, being racist is cheating.

Either similarly racist, not caring about sportsmanship, or Jackpot fanboys.

​@@koiyune Yeah...

Various racial slurs in social media.

Really?

@@PrinceVegetaBrief Yeah. They said a lot of things toward Asians . They deleted them already . I don’t why or how they’d decided to dig up old 3 yr old tweets and discord messages I just find it interesting. Player name was Adapt .

@@Angel..L Hypocrite and / or probably part of the friends circle

You could look it up. GameXplain is more about how this affects video games, in this case the in-game banner.

You'll have to look that up. From what I looked up, various slurs and "jokes" about black people.

They made racist comments and homophobic comments, I've seen the screenshots and it was bad.

Whole team got caught on discord saying some really racist ish. The whole team.

outside the comp

Most of it was Discord + Vc

Unless Nintendo has a time machine, they're objectively the champions no matter what. They won, they beat the competition, it happened. They're just racist champions without a Nintendo reward-- allegedly.

​@@illshouyuWhen one of the rules is about behavior, not behaving well (aka being racist) is breaking the rules and worthy of disqualification.

If one of the rules is "don't be racist", Jackpot indeed cheated.

Various slurs towards black people online.

They said racist and homophobic comments

@@IAMYOLO2020 again, people throw those accusations around A LOT. That said, I looked up what they said. Only thing I had a problem with was repeated use of the n-word. The rest is typical of internet trolling, which i just ignore. Don't feed trolls. But as people who seem to be high profile (I don't play Splatoon, so I've never heard of them before now) they shouldn't have done any of that. You just know there's gonna be consequences lol

​@@maybetobydon't feed the trolls, but do actively punish them when you're in a position to do so

@@midi5467 meh, trolls that are nobodies aren't with the attention. But like I said, these guys are Splatoon champions and therefore associated with Nintendo. Punishment was inevitable.

Well you can gloat and brag a bit in my opinion. A little friendly trash talk. But racism is something else.

Last time it was a racial slur that occurred in Animal Crossing Wild World back in 2008....

@@ignatiousmary8413how do you remember that

@@NickMario1 because I heard of the news and I was shocked....

I heard about something that happened during a Pokémon event that involved a GANGAR.

@@clonedbraixen You mean Nintendo?

Apparently a tweet with the n word. Edit: Multiple accounts of using slurs towards black people.

Why can't any social media platform do this?

@@AmyTheBrawler I bet miiverse was the best one though because instead of people who doxx people or people wanting "Cupcakes" you get good memes (I bet the bad stuff I mentioned exists but it got shut down once it popped up it was like any socal media site but they at least kept people safe mabye uncomfortable but safe)

They were a competitive Splatoon team. They said gamer words online and meant it.
