'It is sexual harassment': ConnorEatsPants criticizes Mang0's inappropriate actions in Beerio Kart 2025
(Image via YouTube/@ConnorEatsPants) Twitch streamer ConnorEatsPants has broken his silence on the controversial actions of pro Smash Bros. player Mang0 at the Beerio Kart 2025 event. After initially addressing the incident on stream, Connor took to Reddit and X to offer a clear and serious clarification, labeling Mang0's behavior as 'sexual harassment' and expressing deep disappointment. What Actually Happened at Beerio Kart 2025? On June 21, 2025, Ludwig hosted Beerio Kart, an event where creators played Mario Kart while drinking. It was fun, until it wasn't. Super Smash Bros. pro Mang0, heavily intoxicated, was caught on stream making humping gestures and pushing himself suggestively onto plushies and cardboard cutouts near female streamers. Clips from the event spread fast. Many fans were uncomfortable, and so were the women in those videos. What looked like a joke to some was clearly disturbing to others. ConnorEatsPants' Initial Response Fell Flat Connor briefly addressed the situation during his own stream, referring to Mang0's behavior as 'Mang0 doing Mang0 stuff.' But the internet wasn't impressed. He said that it's just Mang0 doing Mang0 stuff didn't really go well with fans, and fans felt like he was brushing off the seriousness of the situation. 'It Is Sexual Harassment. It Is Totally Inexcusable.' Feeling the weight of public response, Connor later posted on r/LivestreamFail to clear things up. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Eat 1 Teaspoon Every Night, See What Happens A Week Later [Video] getfittoday This time, he didn't sugarcoat it. 'It is sexual harassment. It is totally inexcusable,' he wrote, admitting that his attempt to 'keep things light' on stream ended up sounding like he was downplaying what happened. He emphasized that Mang0's actions, while perhaps typical when among his close friends, crossed a very real line when directed at women who were clearly uncomfortable. The Problem With Public Harassment Connor also explained why the incident was especially damaging—it happened on stream. 'The 'it's different when it's on stream' comment I make towards the end is me attempting to articulate how the situation sucks even more than it otherwise would for the women involved' In his eyes, that public exposure adds another layer of violation. It's not just harassment; it's something victims will have to relive through replays and online discourse. Taking Accountability Connor took ownership of the shortcomings in his stream reaction, stating: 'I should have been prepared to properly articulate my thoughts on it yesterday/today on stream. H e clarified that his follow-up posts were a way to ensure his actual thoughts and feelings were documented and not lost in clipped soundbites or misunderstood tone. ConnorEatsPants has taken a clear stance that what happened at Beerio Kart 2025 wasn't just 'bad behavior,' it was sexual harassment. In a world where fans often expect silence or denial from friends of accused figures, his public accountability and emotional honesty stood out. Whether the Smash community responds with meaningful reflection remains to be seen. Game On Season 1 continues with Mirabai Chanu's inspiring story. Watch Episode 2 here.

Some clips from the stream went viral as they showed Mang0 humping the air near the participants, including Maya, ExtraEmily, and Cinna. At one grotesque moment, Maya can be seen physically pulling away as Mang0 gyrates dangerously close to her head in a gesture that was deemed by viewers as invasive and extremely disturbing. Much of the footage has, since then, been deleted. But the story was out. The online community exploded with condemnation, with one Reddit user summarizing the sentiment, "Zero social intelligence."
