You are talking about Destiny, correct?

I don't know why anyone would want to be associated with him, he is so incredibly bad for branding. Even if there's some people who are okay with blatant racism, in the long run it is not good for a company in this day and age of social rights This is not even asking for incredible professionalism, this is stuff that people would give you stink eyes if you said in any public place, because we know the history and we know how hurtful it is.

Do you like it when you walk by total strangers and they snicker and say a random slur? Or maybe they say it angrily and you actually feel scared? It's not a good experience. A lot of stay-at-home-nerds aren't aware of that.
LEGEND!! LEGEND!!

Heaven forbid we hold people accountable for saying racial slurs. Oh the horror!
Live it up.

I think its just a phase that the community will grow out of. Right now everyone has a grand vision of what esports is to become, and once they settle down and realize esports will never be as perfect as they want, then the witch-hunting will come to end and people will hopefully settle for what remains.

I just hope we grow out of the "hypersensitivity"/drama sooner rather than later.

It's not surprising that a sponsor would not want to have their brand attached to someone who calls people racist names and uses hate-speach. It's pretty much as simple as that...

Why not just sit the fuck down and shut the fuck up? Is it really worth all this debate? Isn't there something better people could be doing than arguing over something so small? So what he said something racial out of anger? That's WHO HE IS, his fans watch him for HIS personality. It may not be what YOU want to hear, but there are 1000s of people watching him every day he streams.

There are points where he may step out of line and deserve to be punished for it, however it's not like anyone is surprised that this is happening and has happened before from Destiny. By taking this issue overboard you are killing eSports, because say someone contacts his sponsor and makes them aware of the issue, then they drop support. But what next? Maybe next time a player or a tournament is looking for sponsors, that particular sponsor doesn't agree to support them. Why? Because of one rotten apple. Why? Because some nit-picky little bitch over the internet had his feelings hurt because of a word and decided to ruin the fun.

This doesn't just happen in Starcraft, it happens all over, even in particular in the US and Canada. People sue McDonalds because they don't have HOT! labelled on their coffee? YOU'RE BUYING FUCKING COFFEE!!! And you expect millions for burning your tongue?! This world is ridiculous. Same thing here with Destiny. He said a word?! Oh no! I'm hurt!

TL;DR If you're too stupid to realize this is who Destiny is and don't have the intelligence to ignore him/his streams because you are easily offended, then that's your problem.

My point is that unless it is a public / televised match on something along the lines of GSL / NASL / Dreamhack / MLG, players should be allowed to just be themselves.
