Why the Best Greatsword player is Banned

- Опубликовано: 2 окт 2024
- HardyMj is banned from all Brawlhalla tournaments for the rest of the year.
infamously known for using a weapon recognized as one of the worst in the entire game or that's what he’d like you to believe. Hardy had a real talent for spreading propaganda about how terrible his main weapon was in Brawlhalla

Feeling unsafe and threatened from an online username is a whole new level of soft
welcome to 2022 lgtbs community
Still not that hard to avoid controversial usernames
@@jvplaster same goes for being soft
@@_sIash still goes as being soft what? just don't start up controversies if you can't deal with the lashback from said "soft" people, be a hardass and deal with it 🤷♂️
@@jvplaster be a hard ass and deal with said controversies. It goes both ways
This is ridiculous, the game is a competitive sport, not an emotional support platform, sometimes it's nicer when it is, but excluding people for different opinions is totally not in the spirit of competition.
do you think people dont get punished for unsportsmanlike behaviour in other sports? because id more than qualify mocking a minority group to be unsportsmanlike.
@@brookeqs99 what?
@@brookeqs99 was he really mocking a minority goup though?
@@brookeqs99 and what about mocking soldiers who put their life on the line?
@@brookeqs99 but feeling “unsafe” in the real world?
The Matt guy said he felt “unsafe” 😂
Is that forreal ?. What a joke. This whole situation is a joke. Hardy got screwed big time here.
Matt’s snowflake staff felt unsafe because a person who didn’t agree with every ideology as them was going to be there. Wokism is a cancer in our society
Pretty sure Matt didn't say he felt unsafe, just that some employees felt that way. Other than that I agree
My guy felt unsafe in the real world over something about gender on twitter. He was looking over his shoulder expecting Hardy to be there and beat him up. Brawlhalla community sucks man.
Yeah fr this is all bs
narrow vision haha you hear what you want to hear, gotta step out the bubble once nd a while
It’s mind-boggling how someone can say being trans is harder than being in the military and nobody’s allowed to say anything against it or they get banned what happened to freedom of speech
Freedom of speech only protects you from the government.or so that's how I understand it.
I'd still agree this seems really petty. Specially when you compare people like Leffen.
Both are incredibly difficult in there own ways, neither side should have attacked the other and instead should have aknowledged the hardships that come with both.
But this is the internet so....
learn to take a joke
@@Manguwu9895 you say neither side as if it was instigated by both
@@Manguwu9895 they aren’t even in the same realm they shouldn’t be compared at all. Marines die for our freedom so people can even make comments like that.
That seems wild that someone feels “unsafe” over a tweet that wasn’t even aggressive and they think they are stronger than troops is wild. This is crazy ngl
People are so f*cking weird & weak these days it's pathetic.
growing up i played COD on xbox 360.. majority of these new age kids would've never survived mentally.
Because they're lying. They just don't like Hardy's opinions.
so stupid that this guy is banned, literally did not do anything except expressing an opinion, and got banned from making any sort of money just because OTHER people disagree with him, just as he did with dar.
It's unfair
Cuz they’re weak
It's bmg's game and tornaments they habe every right to ban whoever they like if they're being controversial. Only person at fault is hardy who doesnt know how to keep his mouth shut clearly
@@ChocliOG I found the attack helicopter
@@little_error295 clearly doesnt understand anything i was saying
wow a dude gets banned for having a pretty mild opinion. like how the actual f are you scared of someone who is at most petty? how are you physically threatened? why would you use your power to ban someone who crosses against your opinion, for such a small hill. Even if both people are on it too.
And these ppl wonder why they are disliked 🤣🤣
How is this even a mild opinion its fucking facts lol who tf are you comparing yourself to the FUCKING MILITARY.
TLDR: dude was so based he sailed directly into sunset
REAL AF
HardyMJ is a really good and nice person. BMG devs who have met him irl should have known better and tried to prevent the ban
They might've tried but failed. We don't know that. Also, i kind of get it if no one spoke up. I've been in similar situations myself, and it's hard to be the one who disagrees. The feelings were probably real, even if they didn't actually have a reason to fear him, and you can't argue with someone's subjective experience/feelings.
This kind of situation is like extinguishing a fire: You need to move quickly, and you can't spend time figuring out exactly how much you need to spray. You just spray until you're completely sure the fire is extinguished. Banning Hardy solved the problem (staff feeling threatened), i assume, even if it were a bit overkill.
Let’s be honest, he literally isn’t threatening anyone by competing. If anyone were to feel so inclined as to walk up and address him for what he was saying, then that’s on them, he’s not provoking a fight with anyone with his words, and that should be more properly addressed when people make claims like this. I especially hate the sly virtue signaling Dara tries to do in the tweets; saying stuff like “tell me more how it’s weird to tweet” and “tell me more why this tweet is so weird to make though” with the intention to get a heated response from Hardy when he wasn’t even trying to be transphobic in the first place is unreasonably irritating especially when it falls short since it just makes you look like an asshole. His focus wasn’t the fact that trans people were were being endorsed for their coming out, but the fact that it was compared to the military, and when someone doesn’t view it as a really good joke, they’re more than likely not going to respond to it as if they do, and that can’t make them a bad person even if you’ve tried to make it seem that way 7 consecutive times in 24 minutes. People seriously need a reality check, not because of the opinions they may have, but because of the lengths they go to make themselves seem morally correct before actually defending their opinion altogether.
Absolutely agree. This comes from a gay person, which """gives me a better reason""" to talk about it I guess? (It shouldn't) -- but this is just like when people don't exactly like or accept homosexuals, but they don't express disgust or annoy them. I'm not trans but I saw absolutely NO aggression towards trans people from his tweets. Again, it's the typical "I respect you but I don't support you" kind of thing, which is literally FINE.
This kind of drama really makes the (As quoted from a tweet in the video) "If you breathe to the LGBTQ community you get banned" stereotype true :/
@@tong8619crazy how you complyent with people just not liking you cause of how you were born. Just know they coming for you next
@@sylodui brother, there are lots of people that disagree with homosexuality and don't feel the need to express it daily. I myself disagree with and hate the trans activism woke agenda and everything else, but I simply ignore it. Idk what to tell you, ppl like that do exist and they don't want to exterminate others
@@syloduinot everybody is gonna like us and thats fine. Unfortunately there are hateful homphobic/racist people but hardy wasnt in the wrong for disagreeing with the comparing of the military service and being trans.
So sad hardy got banned just for expressing his opinion I wonder if he will turn up like godly once he’s unbanned 0_0
greatsword revolution
I first discovered you thru an older video and ever since you have grown to be my favorite brawlhalla RUclipsr. Your way of explaining and story telling these things is like none other and I always look forward to these videos!
As a troop I'm offended by Dara's tweet and i feel unsafe. What the fuck?
HardyMJ was not in the wrong.
these kinds of people are hypocrites at the very least.. the second we conform to their normality's and adjust it to our own, its automatically hateful, mocking & wrong. It's crazy.. absolutely crazy. #JusticeForHardy #FreeSpeech #FreeCountry
Bro got banned from brawlhalla relax
not what free speech covers but whatever dork
Somehow I get the feeling you’re associating unrelated politics to this.
Brawlhalla as a company is perfectly in their right to ban him from competing (even if I disagree with it). And all participants of the “discussion” were equally using their rights to free speech.
This is not a free speech issue.
I hate that we live in an era that people are so chronically online that they spout bullshit like that... the thought process behind the person that originally posted that tweet I could never be able to comprehend, how did he draw a line between someone declaring their sexuality or neo-pronouns to people who go risk their lives fighting to keep people like him protected from outside dangers and threats?
They’re comparing struggle to struggle. There is *some* logic to it.
But to me it seems like a tweet mainly aiming to piss off military guys.
Imagine feeling "unsafe" when someone isn't even the slightest bit worried abt you. Nor working with you, just playing the game. You fuck up his income cause he disagreed with you? This is why that community needs to be dealt with like how they used to deal with it. Execution.
Woah that’s a bit extreme, I think it’s just a very vocal minority with an obscene amount of influence. I can understand the bitterness and as a firm believer of doing pretty much what you want to do I don’t think that’d be a very good solution. You’re only making the people you don’t like look better. I’m not saying a sway on either side of the pendulum but if you want to argue against something especially something so based in pathos maybe don’t give them a thing to point at?
God, you insufferable prick. "Execution" because they did something shitty? You are exactly the kind of person that would "fuck up another's income because he disagreed with you." Meet real people and sell your guns, you can't handle them
@@Gremblebemble No minority has an obscene amount of influence. They're bigger than any other civil rights movement in history as of now, and what they fight for is something that they don't have the right to ask for. Which is acceptance. These people will ruin your entire life because you hurt their "feelings". Which is absolutely absurd, and that's borderline violating anyones right to free speech. Something that is protected by the Bill of Rights. The solution of execution works, because not only will they begin to tone it down, they will have less of an influence if we keep them under our boots. The fact that the community tries to force us to accept them or our livelihood will be ruined, we'll instead take those lives from them.
@@Gremblebemble So I think I'll have to be the next Hitler, and eliminate as many as I can before I pass.
@@gen-zisgoofy8304 I'm gonna guess you're joking, but I just wanna let you know that you sound EXTREMELY corny rn. Very cringe.

The Piano in the background I'd say almost perfectly matches up with the cannon attack being thrown out by Snowy.
It was satisfying.
the whole situation is just ridiculous
his ban is totally ridiculous, he should be unbanned
I can agree with orgs and sponsors dropping you because yeah it looks bad on them and it’s a company. But I don’t think you should be able to stop people from competing or playing something based off opinions they have or ideals they believe especially if they are not actively a threat to the community
Yea it’s BS for real. There’s probably another sponsor out there that wouldn’t mind having him.
Stupid ban. I can understand losing his sponsors, but being banned from the game competitively is stupid.
my org actually supported me and im still sponsored by them haha
@@HardyMJ Well, whether or not your sponsors choose to cut ties with you(which they didnt, which only further adds to my point), you definitely shouldn't be banned from competing lol.
I like BMG and all, but all companies(imo) need to simply ignore controversial opinions, especially if all it amounts to is a bit of a twitter thread.
At the end of the day, people will argue on twitter, it happens.
Just get over it, imo.
god forbid a tweet makes someone feel unsafe. its a dangerous world out here in 2022
I always knew Hardy MJ as a magyar player, even though Magyar is considered to not be good he still made him work so I don't know why he change into a jaeyun main but it's okay. I still don't know why he got banned for expressing his feelings towards LGBT and trans but I understand people are sensitive too sensitive.
his initial ban was based off of the mockery of "GSGOD/GSGOAT". he only said that to mock Dara and took it to stream. it wasn't his opinion that got him banned, it was the mockery that came afterwards. His ban being extended afterwards was straight up unprofessional and shouldn't've happened I hope the ban is lifted before BCX, but I doubt it if Woomers care for the community is anything to go off of.
That's not ban worthy it's simple banter. She mocked those who risk their lives/go through hell saying their weaker than people who prioritize a pronoun over their name. I hear what you're saying and know I'm not disagreeing, but I'm saying it's ridiculous. It'd be a better place if we left pronouns to the alone because you can't change what you were born as and instead of hiding it people need to grow a backbone and be honest with themselves. Dar should've sthu
@@YoshizawaABC1180 greatsword god (at least i assume it to be)
@@ivlime9969maybe I’m misinterpreting but what you said at the end can come off really bad 😂 sounds like you’re telling people to grow a back bone and they can’t change their gender
@@ivlime9969She didn’t “mock those who risk their lives…”
She compared her struggle of identity to their struggle of war.
And whether you like it or not, pronouns are not something that we can just ignore. Even if only because they’re a hot political topic.
“People need to grow a backbone and be honest with themselves”
Speaking of politics. This. I firmly disagree. We’ve litterally dissected the brains of trans people (both those who transitioned and those who didn’t) and found that their brains really were more like the gender they claimed to be. They are being honest with themselves. Its a fuck up of nature that they have the wrong body/brain.
And a lack of backbone? Really? You think its easy to start demanding all your friends/family and even strangers suddenly call you differently? No, the easy thing would be to remain quiet.
If a kid gets bullied we tell them to fight back. If you want a promotion we tell them to work for it.
So thats what they’re doing: Working for what they want and fighting back against those who would stop them.
Thats not to say there aren’t plenty of idiots in this group (like the one who made the tweet that started this whole controversy). But call those who are idiots and idiot, and leave those who had nothing to do with it alone.
She didn't even get stopped from casting , so shit , she started it
Thank you Vondakay, very informative video, brought some new knowledge about the topic to me but I just still dont understand how could they ban him for this.
another thing is this also affected his work irl i dont remenber exactly how
this is just sad hardy was actualy one of my favorite pros
Hardy was literally banned due to another person's delusions, and targeted harassment and false claims of "feeling threatened". That's sad man.
He didn’t just express an opinion he’s saying that most people in America have a life so cushy that they don’t understand the horrors of war. So they say what Dar said.
I think as a public figure u have a certain amount of profesionalism that you have to upkeep in order to stay respected within a community.
This is very true. Pretty much my exact stance until I did some deeper digging and realized it's a bit of an OD ban but ya know they had their reasons to ban.
@@Vondakay you mentioned Pierre being banned, was it for a similar reason or for anything else?
@@Doaxrocks Similar reason kinda joined in too much on a thread
Its just like any professional sport. If you're a member of the Yankees or Mets you have a contract stating that you can't do stupid shit on Twitter or you can suffer consequences. You're looked up to by many thousands of people being on a professional ESports team and your opinions can be seen as representing the brand. It doesn't matter what the controversial opinion is, there just shouldn't be any controversial opinions posted in public forms.
your just defending it because its the norm doesnt mean its ok
the real question is should professional sports have that much control on their players public hot takes
@@eagles5205 No, we're defending it because it's logical.
When your team/sport/game has sponsorships, of COURSE the people in charge are gonna want you to be as quiet as possible when it comes to controversial takes. They're not gonna want you to have the SLIGHTEST possibility of ruining one of their sponsorships because you couldn't help yourself from typing a few sentences on the internet.
Sure, creating a great community for your tournaments/games is amazing and all, but you can't have that without money. People don't like to admit it, but money does rule over all. Just the honest truth
@@eagles5205 we live in a fucking capitalistic society, everything is profit driven, and someone like hardymj barely brings in viewers, and even further estranges a growing group, who are epsecially interested in fighting games (trans people are actually kinda a big part of fighting game communites, atleast compared to how many trans people actually exist), and with all this information we can determine that kicking hardymj (who only really knows how to abuse greatsword) is a good idea
*The main question is:*
Is it fair for professional players to be unable to share their honest opinions on controversial topics, or should they keep to themselves because they impact a wider audience?
In my opinion, no, for the sole reason that they chose to become a professional player and compete in tournaments streamed to an audience. In Hardy's case, I would say he was in the right and he was treated unfairly, considering how it wasn't on stream and on another platform (Twitter). However, if you have an impact on the community, you would know not to do that.
yeah its choice but why should they have that much control
@@eagles5205 Because, the audience is what brings in the money.
If you're allowing an actual prick to continue to play in your tournaments, obviously the people watching aren't gonna like that, and not just them, but sponsors and more. Sponsors are the MAIN thing tho.
Check Blizzard, for example. They let one guy (or a group of people, really) fuck up EVERYTHING, and the main thing that REALLY hurt the company was them losing their sponsors.
If you're gonna sign up to be in a team (sports, E-Sports, etc.) then you have to watch what you say. It doesn't matter how popular your team/sport/game is, so long as you have sponsors and an audience. You can't risk losing either of those over something controversial, lol. Either say something that the majority agrees with or keep quiet
@@eagles5205 we live in a fucking capitalistic society, everything is profit driven, and someone like hardymj barely brings in viewers, and even further estranges a growing group, who are epsecially interested in fighting games (trans people are actually kinda a big part of fighting game communites, atleast compared to how many trans people actually exist), and with all this information we can determine that kicking hardymj is a good idea
he did nothing wrong
damn these comments are some of the worst takes I've ever read lol, he was openly homophobic and everyone defending him in these comments is cringe. these are private companies he's dealing with, he can express what he wants no ones stopping him but if you're spreading hate speech they can do whatever they want. also this probably could've been solved easily if he'd just apologized to those he affected, instead he's complaining and fishing for drama lolw
The definition of hate speech has really changed over the years huh
your parents failed to flush you 😂
“Pew pew pew” dude I can feel the hate emanating from this man
P based decision from Brawlhalla's administration, keep it up guys
I like your pfp lol
What??
i think it would have been fair for his org to drop him for differences in opinion, but being banned from all tournaments felt drastic.
so dara had no consequences for what she did?
afaik they havent casted since
BMG probably quietly disconnected them from brawl cause it's not on their Twitter bio, but no public call-out or punishment. Effectively got off scot-free and with their job/reputation fully intact. So pretty much yea, no consequences.
Thank you for bringing light to this ridiculous ban. Subscribed.
Thanks for the subscription I appreciate it I hope you enjoy more videos in the future
The rules were explicitly stated and he broke them. Don't know why people are surprised he got banned.
If you're going to play in a tournament with trans commentators, for a game made by trans developers, don't stir up shit with your public following that encourages people to go out and harass trans people. This is a *community* event.
how does a username break any LOL, how can someone feel offended and undafe by a username
@@matteoallkja7806 People look for any excuse to harass trans people. I literally broke my metacarpal bone in a street fight tryna defend my trans friend just a few months ago. I mean, how much does the existence of trans people really matter? yet, even now, for years it's been the center of half of online discourse.
The guys username insulted neopronouns, which are something that a small subset of trans people use. Still, that small subset includes other competitors attending the tournament, and many brawlhalla developers.
Regardless of your thoughts on trans people or neopronouns, there's a basic amount of respect you need to have for the tournament and your competitors. Like you can't just name yourself "Xx_OldPeopleDeserveDeath_xX".
@@fibbles6825 First of all lol "many brawlhalla developers" name a single brawlhalla dev that is trans. Second of all i didnt advocate for anyone to go threaten or harass anyone i made tweets after the whole thread happened saying not to do so actually. While i dont feel comfortable refering to someone as "it" i wont hate a person for it in any way and can still respect them on a basic human level and offered to use daras name instead and still got mocked for it. People need to learn that you can disagree with others and still be fine. What your saying is im responsible for others peoples actions? That is ridiculous lol ESPECIALLY after i made tweets against that kind of stuff.
Its sad that mocking the military who risk their lives gets no attention but say something about transgenderism and you get banned. Disgusting
Fr it makes no fucking sense
I hate society nowadays what hardymj said is right in all ways possible but since everyone is so soft brawlhalla just decided to ban him
i dont agree with everything he said but its far from threatening or ban worthy and the whole thing seems petty more then soft
@@eagles5205 petty and soft absolutely correlate
@@arsenal4444 They don't. Do you know what "petty" means?
@@solarwings1132 They do, immature and soft people tend to be the ones using petty means to communicate or, make a point, or coerce, rather than using a direct form of communication. It's a way of indirect communication to avoid criticism, because they're afraid of it, because they're soft. Not hard to imagine, but if it really needs to be drawn out, there ya go.
@@arsenal4444 Just because "soft" people say/do petty things to justify themselves, that does not mean that soft and petty are correlated with one another, lol
You can definitely be soft without being petty and vice-versa
As an outsider:
A person enters a tournament of any sport. As long as they follow the rules of said sport they should be allowed to play.
A persons personal beliefs and actions outside of the sport, if not illigal, should not cause a ban from that sport.
The behavior of a competitor matters for sponsors and fans. Not for the competitive integrity of the matches.
It’s my opinion but I don’t have much to go off on
While you can agree or disagree with Hardy’s opinion, the fact that they banned him over this is just ridiculous. You feel threatened? Over a name? And someone you’ve never met in real life? Just stupid.
Great video, it's so stupid how they basically ended his career as a Pro brawlhalla player, also his (job) if you want to, since he's earning money from it and shit
He shouldn't have gotten involved with the trans dev or whatever but it's still dumb, banned over an opinion??
"feel threatened" what would he do to him?? just don't get close to him it's that simple
This whole comment section is just another reminder of why I hate the brawlhalla community
Well if this is the case, I would be banned in every second month I guess😂
There’s another reason I hate his ban, looking back, and that’s because he no longer will be playing brawlhalla even after his ban is lifted, and it sucks to see him not motivated to play or keep with brawlhalla
Yeah I really got to disagree with that ban. It's so toxic to ban someone because they expressed an opinion, especially when the opinion is passive aggressive at worst. I do have to say that Hardy should've just moved on, but sometimes that's the hardest thing to do. I think most of the issue comes from the neopronoun comment which really stirred the metaphorical beehive. Lastely I actually think if he had said this ingame then his ban would be justified because its their game their rules. But since he left all of it outside the game then I really don't like it.
Weird hill for brawlhalla to die on, that’s all I’m gonna say. Hardy was pretty tame in all of this
Imo, those tweets are very offensive, disrespectful and provocative, and they definitely warranted a ban. Renewing that ban is much more questionable though.
I love your pfp
@@Vondakay Thanks! My friend drew it for me!
Is this a joke or is it serious.
@@Pro-Diletante No I actually like his PFP and the online series its from p cool
Watching this video a year later is incredibly disheartening.
Someone’s opinion? The problem isn’t what he said, it isn’t the username, it’s the fact that people who make jokes like that often think pretty fucked up shit about certain communities. And I don’t know if I’d feel safe in a community that accepts people who hold the opinion that trans people don’t exist.
What he said was a joke, but not everyone is joking. Open your eyes a little more and realise who among you is just “voicing their opinion”
Honestly, most players should not be banned for what they say or what their opinions are, outside the game. Obviously, there are exceptions like when illegal stuff comes into play, but different opinions and views on life isn't one of them.
Unless he verbally/typed a threat dedicated to someone, which I don't think he did but could be wrong, there shouldn't have been an issue.
Idk. It depends. Like, if you're saying some obviously racist/sexist shit, then yeah, I definitely do believe that there should be consequences for that. You wanna act like a child, then you're gonna be treated like one. People don't hire kids, they hire adults/mature people.
There are many other talented gamers in the world, so it should be no surprise that they can afford to lose one, lol, which is why I'm all down for banning bigoted pricks.
Though, as for this videos context, shit like that should not be bannable. That's just dumb, lol
You're like the best brawlhalla info channel on yt. Good stuff
Thank you Screamur
Hmmm, so if there was a Brawlhalla tournament that wasn't funded by BMG, Hardy could compete in that? He could definitely join mine then! It's all funded by me. Funny. Great video as always Von!
Drawing a line between soldiers and trans people is just crazy to me. The original tweet was made in a semi-mocking way so hardy decided to express his disagreement in a mocking way also.
Both sides didn't handle this the best, with Dara clearly baiting and pushing hardy, praying he says something controversial, and hardy not realizing that Dara (as a commentator who doesn't really do brawlhalla anymore) has barely anything to lose from winning or losing this argument while hardy (as a pro player whose career is based SOLELY on brawlhalla) has everything to lose.
Aside from that I think the prolongation of the ban under the premise of "we don't feel safe around him" are just an excuse to keep a barely "controversial" player off the scene so brawlhalla wouldn't get as much backlash from this whole thing
If I ever manage to garner a dedicated audience, you best believe I won't and am not using Twitter, having your entire livelihood get threatened all because of an opinion is not a road I want to go through
And imagine if a vet seen that post. I think it would hit way harder for them than some confused 15 y o that dont understand they were born as whatever was given to them.
bro ur so underrated, only 3k subscribers? your content is insane
notice how the "woman" or whatever she wants to be, was completely looked over by the mods/devs of brawlhalla not paying attention to "her" saying that "pronouns are stronger than military"? and framing Hardy as the suspect?? why is everyone scared of the truth? how does a "professional" dev and commentator of a game just go back and forth posting tweets and teasing people and not only that but also disrespecting the military cuz she wants to call herself a "he/him"??? how cringe can you be? she'll grow up to be a karen.
Why the heck am I watching this. I don't know who this is nor have I ever played Brawlhalla nor do I like or use twitter.
I get the original ban, it was temporary and it was deserved because he was quite rude, which isn't sportsman-like, but then banning him for the rest of the year because some, honestly, paranoid people felt threatened by his username? That's just idiotic.
She literally compared gays to war wtf am I missing here how did he get banned
Banned for calling out lies what a great world to live in
People get fired from jobs all the time for saying dumb shit online.
Being a pro Brawlhalla player is no different
Rip Hardy
key term on "saying dumb shit" lol
Im sorry but that aint worthy of a ban. How can he not state his opinion but if the situation was flipped people would defend her. Such a dumb atmosphere. Ps great vid
sooo he got bullied into silence because he didnt agree with what they said? you shouldnever compare war to being trans anyways they dont even compare to eachother in the slightest.
It was so obvious that Dar was provoking him, lol. Like, SOOO fucking obvious. If I were him, I would've just stopped responding after "Pew Pew Pew." Why he kept going, and why he thought it was a good idea to mock neopronouns, despite being in tournaments, is beyond me.
Dar is dumb af for saying what they said, I'm not defending them on that, but I'm also not gonna sit here and lie and say that Hardy wasn't also dumb af for not only continuing to respond but also mocking neopronouns.
Like, dude, you are LITERALLY a professional player now! You're in the big-leagues; fucking tournaments! You have to realize that, just like literally every other sports and E-Sports player, you can't say whatever TF you want anymore! There are sponsors- money on the line! You either say the majorities opinion or you keep quiet. Or, maybe, just don't mock people? He probably would've been find with his first tweet, but him continuing it is what really got him...
Like, I'm actually not defending either side here (I mean, I'm more on Hardy's side, but that's because he had good intentions AT FIRST, he just went too far). They both did stupid shit, it just sucks that one has to pay for it...
The fact that they even brought up that "dont feel safe" crap is beyond infuriating. This is a big problem with how BMG handle things. Why tf is my boi banned for expressing an opinion on a site that isn't even FUCKIN BRAWL. Mark my words, soon, pro players wont be allowed to swear, drink, smoke or have opinions in and outside of brawlhalla. Bullshit at its finest
Because he involved Brawlhalla with it by using things from it in a potentially mocking way.
Like it or not he outright involved it.
What a lame way to get banned, people are so soft. You should only get banned for cheating and scamming in my opinion.
The sad part about this is I never really got the full story all the information I ever got painted Hardy in a bad light I was 100% convinced he was simply a transphobe but now I don't know anymore. The decision seems ... unnecessarily extreme I'm sure a different course of action could have been reached? Pro players get fined in other games couldn't they have tried something along those lines instead. Thanks for a the video its kinda nice to get a different perspective on the situation.
Your welcome for the video I hope it brought you new information to form some thoughts on the topic. I agree a fine would've been a better decision because then atleast he could keep playing.
bro ill say whatever the hell i want whenever i want if i truly believe what im saying is the right thing. But ill also admit when im wrong an accept that other peoples opinions can also be correct. If i got banned from a game for that, then that game is not a game i want to be a part of moving forward regardless of whatever may happen after that ban. Obviously if you threaten people, are straight up an asshole, or say disgusting racist or just intolerable an morally unjust things to people then thats different an you deserve what you get. But hardy did none of those things, he simply spoke up against something someone said that they shouldnt have said. Its one thing to believe in something an to think its more important then other things, but you have to remember that that thing you think is less important, may be more important to someone else. An the gara or dara person whatever their name is, spoke down on something that is VERY important to a lot of people. much more people then the lgbtqrx movement. The military, and more specifically the soldiers in it who just want to fight for our country an their families to give them safe peaceful lives, have people who love and respect them deeply an she practically spit on that. Many people, people i know personally have lost family members in combat serving, some died valiantly protecting innocent children from terrorists, and their comrades in arms who may otherwise have been killed but instead were saved by a person who disregarded their own life to ensure their buddy wasnt the one killed. Those soldiers are infinitely more brave then some dude whos crying on twitter about how no one will call him Madam. What Dora the exploregar said thoroughly disgusted me honestly, and all hardy did was speak up against it because he thought it was wrong an i respect that. (sorry for the rant, watching this video just got me entirely pissed off all over again. if you read all this thank you, and i hope you have a great day)
He mocked people and brought Brawlhalla and his position into it while doing so.
There is a difference between expressing opinions and mockery. I can say "I disagree" instead of saying "Lol nice long paraghraph who would read that? You some kind of idiot?" Notice how completely different it is?
Shoutout to Technicals btw. Just because.
this is truly a moment in history
The only brawlhalla content I still watch, I should get back into this game.
competitive player stories are pretty interesting.
Hope greatsword returns to competitive somehow. Based on this video the ban seemed quite undeserved.
His organization could validly have him suspended from playing under *their* name if he violated a social media usage clause or something in his contract.
The game company themself removing him for his social media activity is unreasonable. You can't defend it.
A better solution would be to get rid of E-Sports, feels like it has gone on long enough lol.
Unjust ban, some people cried about it like losers and a good player was banned.
literally making the mother of all omelettes here
And you can't fret over every egg?
Where's mrs dolphin
"is it so crazy to let people be who they want without mocking them"
no not at all. the problem arises when you try to force your beliefs onto others, making them use some madeup pronoun to make you feel special and get attention.
ah yes the forcing of beliefs of "hey can yall use my preferred pronouns". Is saying that black life matter is forcing your beliefs onto someone to you?
@@seironed3165 If someone said "hey can you use my preferred pronouns" I would likely say "no thank you." then they would argue that im assaulting them. You cant win with those types of people. Idiots.
So you'll force your belief on them and not use it even when you know it?
@@Buglin_Burger7878 No I don't force my "belief" on anyone. Its not my opinion, its basic biology.
@@seironed3165 black lifes matter is in no way equal to neo pronouns, i can respect normal lgbtq+ pronouns but neo pronouns are over the top
Honestly kinda dumb of him to speak on twitter... or use twitter at all
that cancel culture on your west side is a rlly scary shit this dude just had his own discussion and then boom your out thats just unfair
Yeah it's a bit odd and scary
Def can’t support a company that would really do players like this for having an opinion.
it wasn't his opinion that got him banned, it was the mockery that he started on twitter and took to TWO entirely different platforms (brawl itself and twitch) that did. there was no reason for him to do the "GSLORD/GSGOD" thing other than to mock someone with neopronouns. he could've left it alone after his first few tweets and he'd have been fine. it's such a childish 'joke' anyway.
@@lyricm9834 Yeah, I paused the vid to read a few tweets, and if I were him, I would've stopped responding after "Pew Pew Pew", lol. It was clear that, after that, Dar just wanted a reason to really nail him to the ground, so I don't understand why he kept going!
Maybe he thought nothing bad would come to him, especially considering he's defending vets, but he most definitely shouldn't have ended it with his mockery of neopronouns.
The dude is in tournaments now. He can't risk doing ANYTHING controversial anymore
Getting banned for only sayong ur opinion?...... Like, what a world.
#FREE_HARDY
TLDW : He's a controversial edgelord
hey, trans girl here.
i haven't seen the full thread and replies, so I'm not 100% into what was said, but i want to talk about what i heard in the video.
i think the ban wasn't because he was arguing on twitter, but because of personal intrigue in the background. was alleged that someone felt unsafe around him and i can't confirm nor deny this since I'm not involved.
and really, if it was because he disagreed with her, it sure is a weird ban. i don't think he should have been banned, but it's a private company and if the terms of services say they can, then theres nothing we can do.
now about the argumets on twitter
i think that everyone have it's own strengths and struggles and we shouldn't compare if someone is stronger than other one either way. army troops are probably scared of getting in a war and dying, and we are scared of a lot of things wich doesn't deny that troops still struggle. no one is stronger than anyone, we're all just ants in a ball, floating in a pool.
Thank you for the well thought out reply!
someone losing their limbs watching their friends die on the battlefield is stronger than some freak cutting off their genitals and changing their pronouns on twitter
@@GooP-oq4pw are you one of them? or are you just lazy sitting on your chair?
also, it's not cutting off, if you want to talk about something, do your research first.
but i don't disagree, they suffer a lot more, but so are the black people and marginalized groups, no suffering is more important than other.
making fun of someone for feeling unsafe around another person is just pathetic
you don't know this person's experiences with this type of behaviour, and for trans folk especially physical violence is very real
when it comes to "expressing opinions" sure, i don't think someone should be banned for that, but transphobia is not an opinion, it's a hatred towards a minority, if your opinion was "well i think black people are just worth less" that would clearly get you banned why would the same for trans people be any different. saying it's just 'different opinions' is just used to water down the actual severity of transphobia
I think this was an unfair ban.
Another overall successful crumbling of a career that had nothing to do with an opinion of someone who is supposed to be protected from their ideas being shut down. Gotta love when the Constitution is only applied one way. If Brawlhalla will allow for one side, they should let the other side express themselves. So long as it doesn't directly affect their work. Nobody got threatened, they just disagreed, but the person in the arena giving his time and effort to BMG gets banned. Love to see it
Well any desire i had left to play this game just went out the window
kekw ditto
If smash was this trigger happy with bans there would be 50% less top players
Well they did have quite the era with bans
This is hypocritical. I'm disappointed one of the good pros is gone. Also freedom of speech? Smh
GOOD im glad he got banned and i hope its forever
The fact, that Hardy was the one getting banned for his opinion while that "IT" wanna be called thing was left as the one that got hurt overall is leaving me with mixture of every unpleasant feeling. I'm not trying to flash a bad light at lgbt community or so, but such people are quite frankly the best reason to be absolutely disgusted by this topic. No wonder.
not that deep, people just make a big deal out of the smallest shit lmfao
pretee much
Why does bmg ban him over a tweet and i game name like I see people all the time in ranked or experimental with VERY offensive names or racest af names that still aren’t banned for like the past 5+ years
Im not a hardy friend and I think great sword is broken but this ban is dumb and he shouldn't have ever been banned
i am not hate lgbtq but i hate that community they be like:
OH I DON'T LIKE THAT OPINION NO ONE CAN MAKE HUMOR ON US LETS RUIN THAT GUY'S LIFE CUZ HIS OPINION I DONT CARE EVERYONE SHOULD RESPECT MY OPINION
no u don't respect anyones opinion so i don't too
What even is this community every time I see this
Common Hardy W Common Brawlhalla L
