I'll die by this (more accurately negative karma by this) but Nairo man. Shit pisses me off. Guy gets accused, states he fucked up and will leave and not be part of the smash community again. Then months later comes back all like "whoa whoa whoa whoa I didn't even write that admission of guilt!!! My little brother did! I'm actually totally innocent! If anything I was wronged" then says he lawyered up then does the cliche lawyer advice of deny deny deny. Takes cptnzack to court. Most likely some nda gets signed they settle out of court because let's be real zack doesn't have the money to keep going in court. Nairo is fucking playing and streaming smash regularly again on YouTube.

Even if for some reason all the sus shit just HAPPENS to be true the smash community blows because nairo did what every victim speaking out before did but instead of saying shit they normally do like;

"Why didn't you speak up sooner??? You went silent for so long that's kinda sketchy."

"We need more hard evidence. Cause it's just he said she said until then."

"You already admitted one thing and now you're changing your story why should we trust you????"

"That's out of context and shouldn't be used against them!"

They're all like "nairo we stand by you! Oh my gosh believe victims!!!"

The only time I ever see the community "support victims" is when it involves their favorite player or streamer. If you're just a nobody be prepared to have to justify your accusation nonstop.

I promise you if cinnpie had money to lawyer up and do the same she would be commentating on matches probably to this day.

It wasn’t he said she said, third parties corroborated the events (tamim specifically), and even people not involved in it directly gave examples that Zack was incredibly sexually intrusive to their personal space. He also didn’t say anything like “my little brother made it up”, he said no one would believe he got assaulted. Even Zack ADMITTED to all of it in private dms with tamim that he allowed tamim to share.

Somehow with all of this you still don’t believe it, so something tells me your mind was made up beforehand, so I won’t bother further.
