How sad. Why do people have to be like this?

Following persistent threats targeting its employees, which it said had recently spread to attendees and event staff, the Splatoon Koshien 2023 National Finals and Nintendo Live 2024 will no longer go ahead.

[...]

The Splatoon 3 World Championship 2024, the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Online Challenge Final Stage, and the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe World Championship 2024, which were scheduled to take place at Nintendo Live 2024, have been postponed.

Threats of violence because of Splatoon and Mario Kart, really?

These people need to go outside.

I wonder what these pieces of shit are even mad at?

"Peach shouldn't be driving! She belongs in the kitchen. I'll kill you if you say otherwise!"

Like, really? Go outside and smell some grass.
