Do you seriously not expect most people to heatedly defend their interests and/or what they've chosen to do with their lives when they get confronted with a wall of text as direct and inflammatory as Milkis's? I honestly don't think Wheat's post is a "hissy-fit" as you've put it, since he kind of speaks like that all the time anyways, and, well, I think a lot of people in that thread showed their "passion" for other games simply through getting so riled up by his post. Anger is passion too, lest you forget. Err?If you want to with analogy... Flash would be the guy who shows me a really dam good essay he wrote or some insightful research he has done while western eSports would get all bitchy and start acting all macho. Who the hell do you think I would respect more? To be clear I'm not arguing about about legitimacy of any eSports, I'm critcising the community DJWheat's rant was nothing short of a hissy fit. OMG MY eSPORTS HOW DARE YOU! OMG I INVOKE THE GREAT GODS OF ESPORTS TO COME TO MY AID. SAVE ME DAIGO! | ||

People want Milkis to feel this way. Milkis is just one man with his opinions. Why get so carried away to what one guy said? I even disagree to many of the things he said, but saying all these things are unnecessary. You can say he's selfish for not listening to us or changing his mind. However, it's just as selfish for us to make him try to please us just because we disagree. He does want he wants to do. He thinks what he wants to think. It's his views and opinions, his life. What right do we have to say he should do this or that, or think that way. If you disagree with him, write your opinions and back them up with points or facts like he did. Should I get mad at Alexandra Wallace said about asians at UCLA even though I'm asian? I don't give a fuck about what she says. It's her opinions, but she's just one person I'm most likely never going to meet or care about. Instead you see asians and all these people with death threats, her removal from UCLA, and youtube videos. If it was a huge group of people who said what she said, then yeah I would voice more concern, but one random person is not going to be the end of the world. "Milkis shouldn't quit or leave, post this or that, otherwise he has no balls"... Milkis not here just to please us. There are good times and bad times. Milkis can do whatever he wants knowing the consequences of his actions. However, that is different than us telling him what to do, because we feel like it's the right thing to do. You all can disagree with me all you want, but know this... Why should he have to do things in life to satisfy what you want from him when you're basically give him nothing but an OK? | ||

You wouldn't know what it feels like to put years of work into something to have someone discredit it simply because it doesn't have as big a fan base, or skill gap (IN HIS OPINION) as another game. That's ridiculous. | ||

Believe it or not a very large group of people think BW is just a computer game but w/e no point in going around in circles. | ||

Maybe Milkis was just bad at expressing what he thinks but by ripping him to shreads before even confirming this we now have this stupid thread. But anyway I done arguing/replying in this thread. | ||

Maybe he expressed what he meant badly. That's fine. But then he responded by ragequitting when he should've clarified his POV, and it just made everything that much worse. I am quite sure that if he'd just a.) apologized for offending everyone and their grandmother and b.) made another post going, "This is what I really meant," he would be back in the good grace of the community. | ||

I was going to write something to try to cheer you up, and make you feel better, and realize that you should say "fuck the haters". However, after spending over two hours applying the left and right halves of my brain to work in-conjunction with one another, I realized how stupid it is to try to defend your rant. You are a very smart man. Nobody for a second doubts your intellect. You have an asset that almost nobody in the community has: you can fluently speak two languages. You also have very strong opinions on matters regarding the eSports community (since you do not acknowledge anything aside from BW as an eSport, lets just say the Starcraft community). These are all good traits and characteristics to have. Nobody is telling you to shut up, or be silenced. And if they are, they are just trolls. However, what they ARE telling you to do is to stick to your damn job. You are a salaried employee of Major League Gaming. Your job (make sure to pay close attention to the word 'job') is to translate verbatim Korean-to-English, and vice-versa; not to inject your views into the community. This does not, by any means, imply that we are denying you the right to speak your mind. This is America; you can say or do whatever the fuck you would like to do. But please, do understand, expect backlash if you make brash and aggressive statements, like you have previously made. You have to be completely senile if you are denying the presence of Counter-Strike in eSports. You realize Counter-Strike still is the only videogame ever developed in America to be broadcasted on Direct TV? Maybe you should take a step back and think about how many people used to tune in to HLTV and watch SK vs 3D back in 05 and such. It might surprise you to know that the same hype in Korea was almost developed in America over half a decade ago, except for the unveiling of another game (CS:S) that caused much controversy in our community. But I digress; lets get to the facts: you have a tremendous asset towards our eSport. We appreciate your translating, and for anybody who says otherwise, you need to learn to ignore them. Look at what Kelly and Geoff literally face on a day-to-day basis in terms of backlash; I am confident in saying that you are very loved in the community compared to others in your position. To want to quit because some of us are not in-line with your views, opinions or work practices is just nonsensical bullshit. If I go into Greenwich Village in Manhattan, and state that "Heterosexuality is the only sexuality that should be around", what do you honestly think the result would be, in terms of both verbal and physical abuse towards me? I would like to conclude my analysis on your rant by saying gamsahamida for what you have done for us, and if it's any constellation, I as a fan really did enjoy your work. I hope your views in life will change as you mature, because you are in for a rude awakening if you want to pack up and leave at the slightest sign of backlash. Best of luck. | ||

 . There may be some haters out there, but 98% of us still love you. I think I speak for most of the community when I say I'll miss Milkis' translations at MLG's. (Hell, I would be nervous next to Boxer, and Milkis holds his composure like a champ) | ||

I think the saddest thing in all of this is all the tl mods, like chill, jibba, hawaiian pig etc piling on and attacking milkis. Guess people show their true colours once someone leaves and you find out who your real friends are. What? Is this post for real? I thank Jibba and hawaiin pig for providing us background information. It provides context to the whole situation and helps us understand how milkis thinks. I think milkis did a great job as a translator, i really do, but that doesnt mean that when he fucks up, like he did in this situation, we shouldnt voice our opinion. Jibba did just that, he voiced his opinion on this situation. Are you denying them the right to post what they think just because they are moderators on this forum? FOR REAL? | ||

Ummm no of course I'm not denying them their right to speak. I just think it's backstabbing is all. However, I guess I shouldn't make the assumption that everyone in tl is friends with each other since there are so many and all live in different parts of the world, so probably most have never met in real life. I didn't agree with milkis post at all, but attack the message, not the messenger is what I'm saying. Plus I have no idea what you mean by milkis fucked up. He posted his opinion on the issue. It's an opinion a lot of bw elitists hold, that you see daily on this site alone whenever bw vs sc2 comes up. You can't really fuck up an opinion unless it's racist, derogatory, etc. | ||

You can't really fuck up an opinion unless it's racist, derogatory, etc. actually the controversial part of the opinion he posted was that he felt no other game is deserving to be called an esport and that only bw can hold that title. im sure a lot of bw fans including myself may feel that bw is one of the best esports games and has developed the best esports scene/environment thus far but i wouldnt go as far as to diss every other popular game out there and say that they do not deserve to be called an esport just because their scene may not be as well developed and culturally integrated like scbw in korea. i doubt a lot of people hold that opinion. | ||
