About the only reason this didn't happen to Pokemon, was because "influencers" wasn't really a thing yet.
Still plenty of weirdos, but they were mostly hidden by shiny-squad nolife fatbeards utterly decimating kids' teams and driving them to tears.
Pokemon has a competitive scene, but it is officially run by Nintendo. It has divisions that are separated by age groups.

As of today I can say the smash houston scene has been exposed. At least 2 of the big admins have been caught trying to make advances on minors and offering alcohol to minors as well. Also one of them tried to sleep with a guy by getting him drunk despite him making it clear he was straight. Which is crazy because they were some of the guys that ran some of the bigger events including regionals.

There's something the smash scene that is rotten at its core.

Pokemon has a competitive scene, but it is officially run by Nintendo. It has divisions that are separated by age groups.

True, but if I remember correctly Nintendo only supports the double battles community. There is a whole single battle community that is not endorsed by Nintendo. And there's even some controversy many months ago in that community.

Isn't the legal age in Japan like 12 or 13? For all we know they may be seeing this and wondering why Americans are such prudes.

All joking aside tho, they shouldn't feel guilty about it. This is the same shit arguments conservatives like Jack Thompson used to parrot about games like GTA and other violent games and music being responsible for school shootings, or that JD Salinger is responsible for John Lennon's murder because the killer was a fan of Salinger's book.

Let's just stick to holding the actual perps accountable, and putting regulations/security measures on these tournaments. Like even in a hypothetical scenario where none of these sexual allegations are coming forth, its still a huge problem that so many of these kids in their early teens are having hotel parties and getting hammered with people in their 20s and 30s. There definitely needs to be some changes made to protect and supervise minors instead of just letting them run willy nilly with grown ass adults and sharing hotel rooms with them and shit, like how has that gone on for so long with nobody saying anything?

That's really on the parents. If they are a minor, then why are they not traveling with their kid? Or just not let them go.

Smash community and people who watch anime are pretty much synonymous, and while not all anime watchers are sexual predators and child molesters, almost all sexual predators and child molesters watch anime.

Yeah some big changes need to come in how game tournaments are conducted. I can understand why a video game wouldn't necessarily be separated into age brackets but at the very least these kids need to have their guardians present at all times.

Yeah I agree. I'm fairly active or at least was pretty active in my local smash scene. There is some older guys there but also some younger guys as well. I'm 29 but I just went there to play and that's about it. I think a big problem is that the smash scene does attract some weird people, I've seen people unironically wear those hentai hoodies at locals, and when you combine that with little to no supervision it gets weird. Here we already lost 3 locals, including two of the biggest ones, because their TOs got exposed for being creepy fucks and one of the biggest crews got disbanded as well.

You mean that grown ass men playing video games from 10+ years before they became adults idolized a standard of beauty from when they were literally children, and ruined the lives of children who grew up after they became adults to fulfill an emptiness in their hearts that they never got to feel due to being the lowest rung on the social ladder? Color me shocked.

Honestly, any "industry" that openly welcomes kids should have therapy involved to interview the people who spend most of the time around kids, as well as the kids themselves.
