Super Smash Bros legend Joseph "Mang0" Marquez is no stranger to the spotlight. But this time, he's trending for all the wrong reasons. At Ludwig's recent
Beerio Kart
event, what was supposed to be a chaotic, fun-filled gaming night spiraled into an uncomfortable mess, with Mang0's actions sparking outrage across Twitch, Reddit, and beyond.
Here's everything about the viral incident.
The Viral Moment That Sparked It All
The
Beerio Kart
event brought together top-tier creators like Valkyrae, Maya Higa, ExtraEmily, Will Neff, and more to drink and game live. Mang0, invited as a guest, quickly turned heads, not for his gameplay, but for his erratic and highly inappropriate behavior.
Clearly intoxicated, Mang0 was shirtless and hyperactive throughout the stream. But what crossed the line were his interactions with female streamers, particularly Maya Higa and ExtraEmily.
The Viral Clips that Broke the Internet
Though many of the original Twitch VODs were pulled, the internet never forgets. Mirror clips have been circulating widely especially on

, showing Mang0:
Walking up behind Maya Higa mid-stream and placing a leg on her chair while mimicking a humping motion behind her head.
Gyrating on a Toad plushie right next to her.
Pressuring ExtraEmily to end her stream while repeatedly patting her hair and invading her space.
Using a cardboard cutout of himself to simulate more inappropriate movements toward her, even groaning audibly while doing so.
Ludwig, who hosted the event, tried to pull Mang0 away multiple times. But Mang0 kept returning, crossing physical boundaries and making everyone visibly uncomfortable.
Fans and Fellow Creators Speak Out
Fans, Redditors, and even longtime supporters were quick to slam Mang0's behavior.
While some brushed it off as 'drunk shenanigans,' others called it out for what it was — inappropriate, uncomfortable, and borderline sexual harassment. The fact that it happened on stream, live, in front of thousands, only intensified the scrutiny.
Some viewers argued that Mang0 'crossed a line' and 'should've been kicked out the moment it got weird.' Others questioned why the event lacked clear boundaries or interventions, especially when multiple female creators looked visibly uneasy.

Why This Matters
This isn't just about one chaotic night. It's about the fine line between content and consent, party and professionalism. When someone as influential as Mang0 behaves inappropriately, especially around women creators, it sends a message. And the internet is loud and clear: this kind of behavior isn't okay, no matter how iconic your status is.
Mang0's Beerio Kart behavior has sparked major backlash due to repeated inappropriate conduct toward female streamers. Viral clips, fan outrage, and growing concerns over harassment at content creator events have turned a chaotic stream into a serious conversation.

Florida Panthers' Stanley Cup beach parade ignites Reddit debate over hockey fandom
Stanley Cup beach parade (via Getty Images) The Florida Panthers' recent Stanley Cup championship parade—which was held exclusively on a beach—has set off a whirlwind of responses throughout Reddit, revealing the widening gulf in attitudes toward hockey fandom between established markets and newer ones. As Florida Panthers' fans basked in championship glory beneath sunny skies and palm trees, a self-styled segment of the hockey community took to the internet to ridicule the turnout, the location, and even the authenticity of southern hockey fans. Florida Panthers' beach party celebration sparks reactions as Reddit thread ignites discussion on fan support and regional bias When the Florida Panthers won the Stanley Cup, not many would have guessed that the parade was going to happen on the South Florida coast. What appeared to be a festive and creative celebration became instant meme fodder, particularly on hockey forums of Reddit, where one thread went viral, boasting hundreds of cutting remarks and jabs. "Not gonna lie, a Stanley Cup party at a beach would be pretty amazing. I honestly love the idea of seeing all the different places and atmospheres that a Stanley Cup parade could be held in. I can see the future playoff commercials now: "From the sandy beaches of south Florida to the rocky coastlines of British Columbia, from the northern Great Lakes to the dry deserts of the south, from the towering skyscrapers of NYC to the flat plains of Manitoba'," a user commented. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like One of the Most Successful Investors of All Time, Warren Buffett, Recommends: 5 Books for Turning...

A center for ANTS," and another, joking, "All six of us!"—ridiculing the apparent absence of fan support. Still others pooh-poohed the celebration altogether, saying it looked more like an ordinary beach day than a championship parade. However, the beach party celebration also had fervent justifications. A Reddit poster denounced the negativity, saying, "/nhl filled with so many gatekeepers trying to diminish the Panthers' championship. It's sad, really. Isn't the sub about supporting hockey? Pooping all over the fans of an up-and-coming team? Gatekeepers, all of you." Another added, "Yeah, I really don't understand the hate. You would think the Panthers are the worst thing to happen to hockey ever." The Reddit thread shows just how much people feel they have stakes in what hockey "should" be—whether that features sun-kissed beaches or snow-filled downtown parades. The Florida Panthers' beach party may have been unusual, but it stood in for something greater: a realignment of the NHL identity, in which geography is no longer the exclusive signifier of fandom. Also read: Florida turns into hockey heaven as Panthers throw another unforgettable Stanley Cup parade The Florida Panthers have become history-makers by winning the Stanley Cup, and celebrating it on the beach was a nod to their identity—unapologetic, vibrant, and bold, just like all Floridians. To the haters online, sure, they can mock, but it's obvious that the Panthers and their fans are making their mark in the world of hockey, palm trees included.

Director Sanjay Gupta Hints Bollywood Fakes Box Office Numbers; Fans Ask, 'Sitaare Zameen Par?'
Last Updated: Due to the post's timing, netizens on Reddit think Sanjay Gupta took a dig at Aamir Khan's Sitaare Zameen Par. Director and producer Sanjay Gupta has hinted in his latest X post that Bollywood might be faking its box office numbers. He wrote a cryptic post, sarcastically praising the film industry for delivering constant hits. His post caught everyone's attention, and on social media sites like Reddit, people are guessing if he took a dig at Aamir Khan's Sitaare Zameen Par. Sanjay Gupta wrote, 'We are living in such wonderful times… No film bombs at the box office. They all open to wonderful numbers. Sab changa hai 🙃🙃🙃." Due to the post's timing, netizens on Reddit think the post is a dig at Aamir Khan's Sitaare Zameen Par, which was released on June 20. One comment read, 'I think it was for Sitaare Zameen Par." Another read, 'Sitaare Zameen Par box office numbers giving sleepless nights to keyboard warriors." A few days later, Sanjay posted, 'For me, a sequel right up there with GODFATHER 2 was TERMINATOR 2. It was all and much more I wanted to see in a sequel. I'm just so glad I didn't watch a single one after T2. They were all so terrible." For me, a sequel right up there with GODFATHER 2 was TERMINATOR 2. It was all and much more I wanted to see in a sequel.I'm just so glad I didn't watch a single one after T 2. They were all so terrible.— Sanjay Gupta (@_SanjayGupta) June 23, 2025 Meanwhile, Aamir Khan's film Sitaare Zameen Par is shining bright at the box office. After just three days in theatres, the heartwarming sports comedy has raked in a solid Rs 57 crore net in India, according to Sacnilk. Directed by RS Prasanna and also starring Genelia Deshmukh, the film had a strong weekend run. Sitaare Zameen Par has been receiving a good response from the audience and critics alike for its emotional depth and powerful storytelling. Sitaare Zameen Par is inching closer to surpassing the lifetime India collection of Aamir Khan's Laal Singh Chaddha, which had wrapped up at Rs 61.36 crore. The film has already outperformed Kesari Chapter 2 (Rs 29.5 crore) and Sunny Deol's Jaat (Rs 26.25 crore) in just its first weekend. However, it still trails behind the likes of Salman Khan's Sikandar, which raked in Rs 74.5 crore in its opening weekend, and Akshay Kumar's Sky Force, which clocked Rs 62.25 crore. News18 gave 3.5 rating to Sitaare Zameen Par. A part of our review read, 'Unlike Taare Zameen Par's Nikumbh, Gulshan isn't perfect. This is a flawed, man-child character, dealing with his own traumas, learning to navigate life with the help of those who suffer developmental delays. So far, on paper, Sitaare Zameen Par seems rather fantastic, novel, and heartfelt. And don't get us wrong — it definitely is all of that. But it also has its share of flaws that become a bump in its path to becoming a great film. To start with, at 2 hours 39 minutes, the film appears to be an extremely long and slow-moving affair."
