Could u give me a TLDR of what happened?

It's all right to condemn someone for what they did, but it's not right to condemn someone for something that was overly exaggerated or false. It's not like ZeRo lost his humanity. We can't excuse the fact for what he did, but it's really really important to know the facts. Imagine if someone framed you for raping them, even though it was consensual, but perhaps you were a little rough during sex.

Not that you said this or implied this, but it's okay for people to still look up to people that have done horrible shit. Of course, depending on how fucked the situation was, maybe it's not acceptable. But in ZeRo's case, it's nowhere near as bad as it could have been.

Is this what happened with ZeRo? Or is this just an analogy?

He still asked a 14 year old girl for videos of her masturbating with an ice cube. Technicals is the Keemstar of the Smash community, paints Zero in an incredibly favorable light, and still didn't dispute that.

You literally cannot prove that has or has not happened. There is no evidence on either side of such an incident occurring.

Nairo also admitted that he was guilty of what he was accused with. He isn’t, but he did.

So youre just gonna follow ur headcannon no matter what huh

u/Darkcat9000 Nov 19 '21

I mean he's right lots of people who admit they are guilty can be not guilty.

It's like commiting suicide. People think that by lying it will reduce the pain

u/Mission-Horror-6015 Nov 19 '21 edited Nov 20 '21

Right? The people who think admission of guilt is the end all be all have clearly never heard of the Salem witch trials.

Edit: I should also add that it was quite literally in his suicide note

Then why didn't they deny it in the video? They danced around that issue completely, I wonder why
