Smash player
A Smash player is someone who plays a Smash Bros. game. The stereotypical Smash player is a smelly nerd that plays the game all day, only plays on legal stages, items never on, and is a pedophile. This isn't the case most of the time. Smash players are people of all ages that enjoy the game competitively or casually. The majority are competitive players. There are plenty of cringe/weird people in the community, but there is also plenty of really nice people as well. Many people make the generalization that Smash players are smelly nerds because they assume that since they spend lots of time on the game, they don't spend anytime on hygiene. This is true for some players, but not the majority of people. The stereotype that Smash players are pedophiles rose because in July, 2020, numerous sexual misconduct allegations were posted on Twitter about Smash players. These allegations were risen on over fifty members of the Super Smash Bros. community, including some of the game's most well-known professional players, commentators, tournament organizers, and content creators. The accusations included instances of sexual harassment, sexual assault, and sexual abuse of minors.
