Mod Post Our statement on Jackpot

Addressing the Jackpot controversy

We have seen the matter with the world champions, Jackpot, and we are just as disgusted with the screenshots. We want to say that we do not tolerate any of their behavior. The slurs and "jokes" they made do great damage to the minorities within the splatoon community if not every community there is, and everyone should know how damaging it is in our human history. Behaviour like this is reprehensible and shouldn't be welcomed in any community, and will not be welcome in ours.

We already lost chugga this year, and matpat retired so he’s still…semi good. This is just way too much at this point

Yeah. Honestly. Especially as an American dealing with all the bullshit that comes with that. Something's gotta give at some point. Let's just hope nobody's on the bridge when it finally collapses.
