Biggest scandal in ESPORTS

Ladies and gentlemen, after my reveal on the shocking conditions the SC2 writers must suffer, I am here to present to you another earth-shatteringly significant scandal. My Swiss source has informed that the popular ESPORTS organisation Dignitas has been involved in 'Photoshopping' it's players faces in an effort to make them look more appealing.

[image loading]

As we can see in this picture provided by the ever helpful fusefuse, Dream's looks have been vastly altered. While you, the common blog reader may not think this is a big problem I have thought long and hard, and have realised this is killing ESPORTS. Yes, you heard me. That may be a big accusation to make, but there are many children out there, especially little girls, who are concerned with their looks due to the portrayal of celebrities by the media. Do we want that crock of shit making it's way into our ESPORTS? Of course not, and that's why we must take action.

I suggest each and everyone of you dear readers make yourself look as hideous as possible, whether it be using Photoshop, make up or just your natural face. Make yourself look hideous in protest to the ESPORTS-killing work of Dignitas. This is the biggest problem modern ESPORTS faces today, as it corrupts our very souls. I can't even walk out of my extravagant and extremely affordable (PM me if you're interested) mansion without seeing a little progamer popping pills in an effort to make himself slimmer, or buying new low carb energy drinks to try and stop his wrists getting too fat. I see progamers as young as 10 walking around with their new Razer mice in an attempt to emulate the heroes that are shoved in their faces by modern media, I see progamers as young as 4 strolling along the pavement with lip gloss and eyeliner on.

To this I say no more. We must draw the line here, and no further. We must uphold the traditional values of ESPORTS, where young progamers would be forced to do the dishes in the team houses all day, they would not talk back to their coaches and they would not ever complain for fear of getting beaten. Everyone knows the old ways are best, so let's damn well try to uphold them.

Are people really taking this seriously or am I missing some kind of inception level of satire in some of these posts?

Only thing worse than this is your lack of knowing the difference between it's and its.

Oh, and I've been protesting this for years, hideous for life!

Are you sure you want to follow that? I mean, I've read what Waxangel puts up, and he plays fast and loose with his grammar.

Also, already doing my part to be hideous. I've been doing it for a long time now. FOR ESPORTS.
Yes, I email sponsors... to thank them. Don't post drunk, kids. My king, what has become of you?

I don't know what is better, the blog itself or the few people actually being trolled on the first page.

What is this thing about Romanians? I must have missed something. Do they not recognize satire?

Okay, that's messed up. This is completely unacceptable. Lying to the public like this? They need to get dragged out into the street and shot.

That made me laugh pretty hard, thanks! I can't believe I've been around here so long and have never seen or heard of that reference.
