I appreciate everyone who checked up on me yesterday after seeing this post. I was gone + off all socials to mourn my father's passing and visit his grave.
This clip doesn't tell the full story cause I was dealing with M2k joining commentary for like an hour. This was the first time we've ever really interacted, but I knew of him being on the spectrum?
The vibes before M2k joining were really high tbh. If you watch the entire vod of the stream, I was clearly having a good time and enjoying commentary with PJ and HBox. As soon as M2k joined, I really tried working with him but he just sort of dominated the mic and the vibes quickly switched from commentate and have fun about the matches to just everything M2k.
That's slightly frustrating but fine. I did my best and still remained patient and did my darnest to be inclusive/roll with it.
When Thug Finals rolled around, I was given a choice to stay on the mic or hop off. I unfortunately chose to stay in hopes of salvaging the situation and hoping that things would get better since it'll be hella more casual and less official since the bracket is over.
I was already slightly miffed about the situation, but I love commentary, and the recent rejections I've gotten from Genesis and Frosty Fausting really motivated me to keep grinding as much comms as possible because I really want this year to be something strong for my commentary career-wise.
So I stuck around, and unfortunately, things remained kinda the same, but I did my best. The boiling point came up when this clip shows up.
When I was DIRECTLY asked to give a RANDOM neutral stage for Fatality and Wake to go, I just chose small battlefield off the top of my head.
When M2k screamed at me for that decision (and it was REALLY LOUD), I legit couldn't take it anymore. I have a really bad reaction to being screamed/yelled at due to a lot of trauma. I was already trying to JUST have a good time since the next day was my father's anniversary of passing. My heart was pumping from the sudden stress.
I really suppressed a lot of emotions here and did what I thought was the most professional way of dealing with this. Which was to just simply say "I'm going to bed. Good night" and then leaving.
M2K is genuinely a very Smash Smart person, and there were times I was in awe at the frame data knowledge and such. But it's literally impossible to work with him.
I saw that Hbox said this was the dynamic setup and the bits they would have and... ok? This is my first time being a part of this. I'm glad he was trying to be encouraging of having M2k on and such, happy to see him excited? But the bottom line for me is that I don't think anyone appreciates being screamed at in front of like 1000 people out of nowhere. M2k is a stranger to me. I don't know him, and this was the first time we've 'talked'.
I don't really hold anything against anyone. I've gotten over it and was more focused on legit preparing myself mentally to visit my dad's grave since it's officially been 1 year of my life changing in a huge way.
You can watch the entire vod and make your own choice on the manner. This clip just showed the breaking point for me in what was happening. I think it's weird to see people being 'mad' at me for leaving? It was late at night, and there wasn't really a buildup for the screaming, so it legit caught me off guard. There was no bit set up. There was no buildup.
I think I did the most professional way of handling it. I just want to commentate. It's my dream and a huge part of my life. The only thing I know I could hvae done to avoid this was to just hop off when Thug Finals started. I was given this choice, but I decided to remain hopeful and positive which is on me. I should have gotten off right there and not expected things to chance.
I appreciate being let on to commentate. There were a lot of fun and great moments for the majority of it. But M2K just can't work with other people. That's just the style he brings to the table, and that's fine I guess. It's insane how much knowledge he has on Smash and really cool to see. But I just can't work with him, and from hearing from other people, this has remained true and their experiences mimic mine. Maybe others have synergy, but I don't, and that's fine.
I hope to be back on. I hope to continue to commentate, and I appreciate everyone reaching out to me. As I said earlier, I've gotten over it, but I feel like I'm obligated to respond since I was involved.
TLDR: This was a buildup of fustration and not just spontanious choice from me to leave. The screaming was out of nowhere and I just had enough + I have a huge trauma from yelling/screaming like that. I did my best to be as professional as possible.
