You have two choices, either A) Don't be a douche in the first place or B) If you are a douche, accept it, don't do what you did and say something stupid then apologize, no one gives a fuck about your reasons or apology you did something stupid as hell, said something terribly wrong, and this is what you get. Further, what qualifies you to decide which is better, YOURE A FUCKING TRANSLATOR, you probably suck dick at Starcraft, so for you to make a decision between the two holds no ground a diamond league player on any ladder has more ground than you, IdrA by a long shot has more credit than you towards that decision. Brood War players need to pull their head out of their ass and understand that their game doesn't hold E-Sports value anymore, if you want your genre to continue get on board and start getting with the times your nostalgia is ridiculous. Milkis you should take that advice, but first, get the fuck out of the scene. User was banned for this post. | ||

He's admitting mistakes and taking a break from the community to try and gain some maturity. I respect that decision and wish him luck. Growing up is hard. | ||

This, and idra's statements feel rather true to me. This apology reeks of someone who refuses to believe their actions have consequences, and will avoid them whenever possible. I do hope you mean to do better, but I think you'd best start by learning to learn of situations and base your opinions on facts, rather than crazy emotions and nostalgic bias or cultural favoritism. Your volunteering as a translator was a good act, but doing something good does not excuse doing something despicable and ignorant. Most insults have basis in true, valid criticism. They might not be as apparently damaging when you no longer have thousands of eyes looking at you, but they are seen as strongly negative for a reason. Take care to look at them honestly and fix them as soon as you are able. "Humble Brags" can be as damaging in personal relations and friendships as any other significant flaw. Just Saying, I'm sorry but, I don't mean to be/sound/etc. mean nothing, and you only seem more craven and less respectable when using them. I hope you can improve and return sometime, and this shows you are at least aware of some problems, but I hope you do something to actually improve upon them, rather than flee and attempt to avoid blame, as it seems you continue to do even now. | ||

After all, the only reason I joined the scene was because I believe there was a lot of content out there that I thought the foreign community could enjoy. This is cool, but then this: The point is that e-Sports is something that is extremely distracting, at least at the level that I have took it in. Couldn't you just dial back your involvement instead of getting all dramatic and saying you'll quit the scene forever? SC2 is a spectator sport and producing and facilitating content isn't for everybody, of course. Translate something if you've got the free time and think it'd be fun to share, or don't if you don't want to or don't have the time. No need to go and get a job with MLG herding Koreans everywhere. Remove the obligations that inflated your ego and SC is still a pretty cool scene to follow. Maybe chew some Stride gum to bring down the ego as well :D. I hope this whole thing teaches everybody to never make threads titled "Good Bye" or "An Apology" ever again though -_-. | ||

He at least keeps it 100 all the time, so its quite easy to see where he stands. As far as this blog goes, if another doesn't follow for at least a week it will be much more convincing than batting for both teams and apologizing to the community about it. Good luck on future endeavors. As far as apologizing goes, its more so a verb not a wall of text or a feeling. It isn't something that you have to name brand milkis and show to the community. It is an action that you take without expecting a medal of honor. Altruistic Apology. | ||

Nah man, u don't need to do anything you don't really want. You made a post and created so much drama. That's the kinda stuff you really think about before posting, not after. You let your emotions get the best of you and did something to hurt e-sports. And now you believe you owe us "some sort of an apology"? No thx. I'm with IdrA on this one.. | ||

The amount Milkis has DONE for this community completely outweighs any damage he's supposedly caused. What did he even do anyway? Piss some people off, boo hoo. It's not like he made sponsors leave. He didn't hurt your sanctimonious e-sports. You can call the apology insincere if you believe it, but hurting e-sports, lol. You're elevating the situation and being melodramatic for no reason. | ||

I don't care even if he wrote he approves of stealing candy from children, he contributed more to this scene than you or I ever will. Someone writes something, other people disagree, discussion ensues, afterwards just make up your own mind on where you stand. I really don't know why people are so pissed about his opinion. How can you be so single-minded and believe because someone does something "good" means that everyone will enjoy it. You can't possibly believe that because someone has done some good at some point in their lives they can be relinquished of all bad things they've done. If it was like this then so many people who are in jail would not be in jail. | ||

There are man rules, and one of them is men never hold grudges. I'm gonna have to give both of you a man-warning for breaking the rule. Let this be a learning experience for you two. You're welcome. People need to stop trying to make big deals out of everything, especially mistakes. Never holding a grudge is not a rule of man. If my friend decides to fuck my girl because we're having issues or whatever, he's going to be blacklisted for life. I don't give a shit if he says sorry or buys me a car. He showed his true character, I would hold a grudge for life. Does that make me less of a man? What Milkis did was childish and immature, he showed his true character when he broke down because the internet teased him. People judged him and that's that. Forgiveness is overrated. If you want to continue to support him that's fine and dandy, just don't expect others to follow suit. | ||
