The posts that have come up with people in the smash/FGC community talking about their experiences with sexual assault/harrassment are incredibly important. I don't think I've said anything formally about it yet, but even at my own college locals I've had to deal with a stalker

Despite a permanent ban being placed on him, he still stalks outside of our club meetings + tournaments, and follows us to our get-togethers at the dining halls. He doesn't even go to our school. Even with a police report it took a few weeks before I felt safe even going there

He's posted very creepy things about me on his own Twitter, and somehow snuck in to our club room to leave a creepy Valentine's card with candy that I immediately threw out, something I regret only because it would have been useful evidence, but I was just so shocked at the time

He still DMs me insults and weird edgy death threats from alternate accounts I end up blocking, and while I try to take them light-heartedly, they still give me a lot of anxiety, especially since he's physically harassed people in the past

I was so incredibly terrified after the Valentine's card incident, fearing being physically violated the entire time. The only reason I managed to get through that day without full on breaking down is because I had other friends keeping a close eye on me

I'm so angry was that he almost robbed from me the community of friends who I love and enjoy being around so much. I know that as a cis male I'm privileged with having more autonomy over my situation, and I'm furious for all of the women who've endured far worse than me
