I apologize in advance for not giving out any names. It's just that you know how volatile most people who're against the M+M ship are. They're ruthless and love to harass people whom they believe support the ship. I myself am trying to stay vague and anonymous for that very reason. Anyhow, the first sign that something was up was the fact that there was never any follow up to the discord post. No video, no twitter announcement, nothing. If Luke really felt that strongly about this then more than likely he would've made some sort of statement where the entire fandom could see/hear about it. But no. Another thing that raised suspicions was Luke's conduct elsewhere and how it didn't reflect the stance made in the Discord "leak". For example he and Kevin stated on camera that Meggy's age was ambiguous. Not only that but during the "SMG4 House Tour" video from last March, Luke flat out refers to Mario and Meggy as a couple. Mario and Meggy's relationship in SMG4's videos continues to be ambiguous and borderline romantic at times to this day. If you showed many of Mario and Meggy's scenes and interactions to people who'd never seen SMG4 videos before I guarantee you that most of them would assume that there's something going on between those two. Lastly, Luke suddenly giving out concrete ages for his characters was incredibly strange and well, out of character for him. Age has never been treated with any sort finality in SMG4. Multiple ages have been given to various characters over the years and it was always for whatever would suit the story at the time. Plus the ages in the leak were so cliché, like something that you'd read on places like the SMG4 amino or on here by people who take the bare minimum information they can get from Nintendo's ever changing and unreliable canons and ultimately don't know what they're talking about. Add to that the extremely convoluted and sketchy details about just where that discord snap shot originally came from before showing up on the amino and deviantart, and you'll understand why some people were starting to doubt. And so a total of three extensive expeditions have been taken into SMG4's discord history.(that I know of, there could very well be others) None of them turned up anything. The day, the hour, even the very instant that post was supposedly made, it wasn't there. The last search that was made, the individual was even able to look through posts that'd been deleted. Again, nothing. Can you and I trust what these adventures are saying? I don't fully know. But I have to say, the evidence against the Discord Leak has really piled up has it not? I still don't expect the MXM ship to fully become canon, but I'm also not convinced that Glitch Productions is entirely against it either. Only the future will tell.
