DAILY REMINDER
>Smogon itself has been absolutely infested by pedophiles and child sexual predators for decades, with high-level and adult-male admins posing as 15-year old girls in order to get sexual conversations and photographs out of 14-year old girls,
>Smogon being biased pro-stall makes a lot of sense: longer games with less thought required to play gives you far more opportunities to groom your opponents
>The move Baton Pass was banned from all smogon metagames because stall was completely unviable against baton pass supported sweepers
>The smogon council is biased and bans offensive pokemon like darmanitan, cinderace and dracovish, while stallmons like ferrothorn, who see much more usage in ubers, are kept
>Smogon is attempting to ban King's Rock, because a 10% chance that threatens stall is banworthy. However, Stall players winning the game off 30% Scalds is considered to be completely acceptable.
>Smogon's one suspect test to UNBAN a Pokemon is because it supports stall, and because a Smoggie "influencer" wants it to be unbanned so they could make clickbait videos
>In generation 7 the ou council assured that landorus therian would not be banned even if it reached more than 95% usage
>Heavy duty boots has been the most anti stall item in singles that the franchise has ever introduced, since it prevents damage from the most common status move used by stall. Of cousre a lot of smogontards are in a favor of banning it
>Something not many people know is that the elo system in pokemon showdown doesn't mainly depend on you're winning ratio, but on the ammount of turns you're won battles take. So higher elo rated players are not better, just play longer battles, aka stall
>The VGC bans being based on the top 10 pokemon is something much more objective than the council quickbans decided by 5 literal pedos, where only a small minority of high elo players can vote. That's why a lot of things like dynamax had +90% pro ban vote, only stall users could vote.
