Oh Christ. Do we really need to give that guy any more attention that he already doesn't deserve?
The Empire transcends Triforce, it's a development organization for the culture and community of gamers©. [1]

That's fucked up. That's really fucked up. I have two autistic cousins so this shit boils my blood but I find strange comfort knowing who it comes from. Not surprised coming from someone as disconnected from reality as Triforce, but that's incredibly fucked up. Way to make me regret making this thread for fun already.
 

A Pretty Panda

fuckin' called it, man

(He didn't actually say that and Jiyuna is dumb)

He said something along those lines. He called mew2king autistic, and that he should stay playing Smash because it's the only thing he's good at.

Well he did mention he was autistic but he didn't bring it up like that. It almost sounded like he was defending the way he acts or w/e.

Stop making me defend Triforce
