Well it’s definitely not helping with empathy. One of the responses to his thread was pretty much ‘Why are you quitting? You’re still alive, aren’t you?’
Also, apparently a chunk of M2K stories were lies made up by some dude in New Mexico:
Here are the facts:
In 2012, while a tourney was wrapping up in Arizona, people were packing up and leaving the venue to a diner for the classic afterparty. A TO asked me to drive M2K since Jason didn’t have a ride.
At the dining table, M2K complains of a headache and says he’s not hungry anyway. I suggest he rests in my car. He agrees. Over an hour later, after everyone finishes eating and parts ways, I walk alone to my car.
I find M2K passed out in my backseat. He undid the beach towels (which served as makeshift seat covers) and used them as blankets. It’s dark; it’s past midnight. I’m tired, and my memory is foggy. But nothing scandalous happened. I assume I wake him up, drive us to my host’s place, and that’s it.
The above is all true. It’s the honest version of the story. Now onto my lies, fabrications, and twisted retellings:
M2K never “banged his head against the table” at the restaurant. M2K never caused a commotion or embarrassed me.
When I found him, he was fully clothed. He never stripped down.
Neither the backseat nor the towels were stained. It was a hot April summer in Tucson, so maybe it was clammy. But not cummy.
There is absolutely no proof he ejaculated (or let alone masturbated) in my car. Zero evidence. So why did I make this shit up? Because it sounded real. My concoction fell in line with Colorado gossip at the time. M2K was an easy celebrity target, and I took advantage of his reputation for being socially awkward. Even back then, when the scene was more grassroots - he was still victimized and harassed, yet I knowingly jumped on the bandwagon. I was jealous of his skill and popularity, so I spun my tale every chance I got. Just to elicit cheap laughs and look cool. Being young and stupid was no excuse. Yes, I was only 18 when it began, but my behavior continued well into my mid-20s. I sold this lie so much that I even started believing it myself.
I never knew until yesterday that others like HoboJoe and LordSpin spread my rumor online to the masses. And now my New Mexico brethren are paying the price for my mistakes and cleaning up after my dirty work. I’m ashamed. I apologize. I also personally messaged M2K himself offering my condolences and regret.
Smash was the best chapter of my life. But no story is complete without learning the good, the bad, and the ugly.
Not the cause, the effect.
Cero rallied for a LTG ban and got caught slipping too.
From what I just read, the guy raped her while she was drunk. Terrible. The guy’s a pierce of work.
like if he wasn’t sure if he wanted to eat a certain food item, he would angrily slap my face in front of my friends and shout at me saying “how dare you question me”. It shocked a lot of my friends, but I didn’t want it to be a problem so I told them everything was fine even if it wasn’t. He took my virginity after manipulating me to think that it’s what I wanted. I felt empty as it happened. I was so dependent on him and thought no one else would want me anyways, so I should be thankful that he wants to have sex with me.
Must’ve skipped that slapping part.
Alright, who the fuck is letting a broad get straight out slapped in the face in front of them like that? What kind of crew is letting that slide?
Open hand, tilt the face “everything is fine”…?
If she got slapped in front of “friends” over some trivial shit and those “friends” let it slide, then she didn’t get slap in front of any friends.
The guy was trying to cover his action:
The night of my 18th birthday, right when it turned 12AM, he wished me happy birthday and reminded me that “if anyone asks, this is the first time I’m fucking you.”
his statement:
Classic case of “Thou dost protest too much.”
Shiiiiet,
Where’s the list of all the protesty people in the SF5 Lounge history?
Who got a magnifying glass?
You’re the mod, we should be asking you that question
You want me to write a list of all the people who have tried claiming a moral high ground on things in these threads?

We should just remember that guy who made an account and came in super hot with his first posts, annoyed some people, got supper defensive and started swinging so hard he got a ban on day 1, then made a new account called PerthoEatsPaste just so he could call us all cunts. That was a funny afternoon.
I must say, that creep has a very appropriate avatar for his profile.
Martian? Martian’s been on SRK for a while.
Pause.
Just Dr Disrespect. But its not even noon yet so there’s still time.
It’s kind of the Dark Souls of car racing games…
Sees Polygon…yeah not clicking that link.
Wait a little longer and Volt will come forward about how Ono molested him with his Blanka toy.
