Rumors circulated as early as 2010 in the New York City Smash scene that DJ Nintendo had a history of coming on to girls and messaging them in an inappropriate manner. On July 3rd, 2020, Aliylian came forth on [[Twitter]] with sexual harassment allegations against DJ Nintendo, alleging that he tried to groom her from 2016-2017.<ref>https://www.twitter.com/Aliylian/status/1278931167861825536</ref> | Rumors circulated as early as 2010 in the New York City Smash scene that DJ Nintendo had a history of coming on to girls and messaging them in an inappropriate manner.

In response, DJ Nintendo posted a Twitlonger claiming to "reflect" on the situation outlined by Aliylian <ref>https://www.twitlonger.com/show/n_1sraluj</ref>, where he did not deny that the exchanges happened, and dismissed the allegations as her "finding" their conversation offensive. His response was largely panned by the community for not only not being an actual apology, but for attempting to distract from the allegations levied against him by constantly bringing up the contributions he had made in the past. DJ Nintendo, along with many others exposed for sexual misconduct during this time, was soon permanently banned from attending events in the ''Smash'' community. | |||
