If you are celebrating violence, take a moment to think of whether you still have the moral high ground. Even if you despise them, you can still be the better person and recognize that loss of life is never cause for celebration.

Now that I’m back from #riptide2025 and my TL is full of LAN sentiments, I decided to add my own piece. As both a writer and a sentimental person, I can’t speak with brevity about how much this first LAN experience meant to me, and the amount of thanks I have for everyone there. (Thread 1/8 🧵)

The community involvement in the Splatoon NA League is absolutely the biggest breakthrough of this whole event. It shows that Nintendo NA is in fact invested in everything we have done and that they are still all-in on our "little" esports scene here. This feels like a decade in the making.

Riptide getting ~500 attendees is blowing my mind.
Those are numbers that attract eyes, if you actively push in the right places. Not just the “oh this is a fun little game I’ll ‘sponsor’ a team”, but the peripheral companies and the energy drink teams, looking for opportunities.

When you, as a victim SSC was attempting to help, perpetuated lies and vitriol so only YOU could speak on the matter — under the threat of legal enforcements and public backlash — they have every right to disprove their claims (like how YOU did the same).
You are the exception, not the good kind.

I haven’t seen any TOs speak to whether or not it was appropriate to reveal a person’s DMs and documents shared in confidence. I’m worried that, in doing so, SSC muddled the message of wanting to appear more trustworthy. I would love to hear a TOs take on that.

There's not a single Splatoon TO whos extrinsically motivated to do this, btw. No one is making a living off this, we are not "professionals", we're humans who put our own time, effort, and resources into making this work.

After the community's reaction to Splat Safety's post, it's incredibly demotivating to want to continue doing community work. I'm passionate about what I do, but much of the joy has been sucked out. It's hard to trust a community that's so quick to judge without considering the implications. (1/3)

All of this because the community trusted an incomplete story and so much hate was generated that someone decided an appropriate response would be to commit crimes. SSC isn't perfect, IPL isn't perfect, I'm not perfect, nobody is perfect. But we all genuinely try to do the right thing.

It truly is important for competitive splatoon players to know they've earned less than nothing and are lucky anyone bothers doing anything for them anymore. Unfortunately for the TO and staff side of things, we like the game as well 😵💫

Regardless of personal feelings, SSC has always been something I really took pride in our community having
Their investigations seemed to take more time due to how thorough they were- which made me feel much better about them
I remember how devastating the hack was and how some were overjoyed

When this happened, there was so much panic behind the scenes that never saw the public eye. Many TOs no longer felt safe running their events, knowing that there was intentional harm done to try and attack the SSC, that does all of its volunteer work to help in keeping the scene safer, and TOs.
Worth noting that splatsafety was doxxed and the resulting doxx was circulated as a result of this case. The backlash against splatsafety is conveniently memory holed now but it was intense and quite serious.
