Despite the fact that the defamation and abuse trial between Amber Heard and Johnny Depp has concluded, the internet is still obsessed with the case. Many people have expressed their views on the case, with streamers such as xQc, Asmongold, and Pokimane criticizing Amber Heard and supporting Johnny Depp.

It’s no surprise that the Smash community has voiced its thoughts on the widely reported celebrity trial. However, some members of the Smash community believe Melee God Mang0‘s recent comments about the case went too far. After seeing Mang0’s recent stream, competitive Melee player Jo Plissken took to Twitter to say he can’t recommend women to get into the Smash scene in good faith.

Mang0 is a fan of Jo Plissken’s, and he even cheers for him in the front row at tournaments, but that doesn’t mean he agrees with Mang0’s comments about Amber Heard and women in general on stream. Plissken stated that he overheard similar comments from other male community members during the trial, including that they wanted Heard to start an OnlyFans, among other things.

Plissken has been accused of being overly sensitive, but he disagrees. Others backed Plissken. One follower shared a tweet from Hungrybox that included a trial meme. Some Smash players were angry that Hungrybox had turned such a delicate subject into a simple meme, while others claimed it was just a harmless joke about the case’s outcome.

Mang0 called an early combo video “Rape,” and after receiving a Twitch ban for sexual content for telling Ludwig he humped an anime figurine too many times, he called out hot tub streamers. Some Smash players are concerned about Mang0’s comments on the abuse trial because he has been accused of alleged abuse by a partner.

While Mang0’s recent comments may have been intended as a joke about Amber Heard, they went too far for members of the community who already believe the Melee scene is unwelcoming and dangerous for women.

These types of sexist comments are concerning for members who want to see the Melee scene improve, expand, and become more inclusive, especially as the Smash scene attempts to recover from the extreme amount of #MeToo accusations in 2020.

Cloud9 was contacted for comment, but no response was received at the time of publication.
