Stop spaming the thread most people expect to read here something new from Artosis and Tasteless about possible patreon or whatever so we can know if there is a chance for Tastosis cast. Yeah shame on people for discussing on a discussion forum. | ||

You and Jealous don't have to go overboard with the insults just because some of them are perhaps not thinking through what they are writing? . I have not insulted anyone. Why say this? | ||

But still, calling people utterly fanatic isn't excactly very emphathetic considering how much the tastosis stream meant to them. I also feel it's not correct to summarize this thread as being filled with fanatics. Instead you could see the value in how much attention towards BW tastosis has managed to generate. I feel like there is still this sense of snobbery towards tastosis going on amongst some of you guys. Like i said, a lot of the people that you are referring to has indeed not thought the matter of no tastosis stream the whole way through, but is being demeaning towards them helpful? I don't see how it is. | ||

The poster in question had the gall to call Scan and Nyoken a "sub optimum" casting pair while they are jumping in to provide what is a free service to the community that the community clearly needs (as evidenced by this thread). I'm going to call out that shit behavior 10/10 times and if you're defending that rhetoric you can get bent too. | ||

Anyways, this was a great thread. Takes me back 10+ years on these forums with all the fanboyism and arguments. | ||

I don't see how it is. The snobbery are those who call a community caster and someone who is actually playing in ASL as sub-optimal. Those same community casters who have actually interacted with the community for years. Those who say they would no longer watch BW if their favourite casters aren't being given money. Their interest in BW is a net zero value to me at best if they stop watching BW simply because their favourite caster isn't being paid to cast. Utterly fanatic is an accurate description for someone who decided that their favourite caster, is now factually the best, as decided by a community they have never interacted with before, notwithstanding the contradiction that opinion can never become fact anyhow. | ||

With this move you've completely lost my support, I'm not watching or supporting the ASL without an english cast. And I encourage every foreigner to do the same. Where's the loyalty for not only the english speaking community but the casters? I've watched competitive SCBW for 20 years at this point. Completely agree with this! And be vocal about it, let them know what a low move this was! | ||

I'm going to call out that shit behavior 10/10 times and if you're defending that rhetoric you can get bent too. No, of course i don't defend that rhetoric. If you knew anything about me you would know that much. Most people mean well. But on the internet, normal decency gets thrown out of the window because of various factors. This goes for everyone. I have been harsh in my use of words myself. I think you are great Jealous and that this community is lucky to have you. I'm not saying that we should never use antagonistic rhetoric, because when someone chooses to word themselves in ways that is disrespectful, they might deserve the same treatment themselves. If only to make them look themselves in the mirror and feel a bit of shame for how they have been behaving. But i won't always stand by and not argue for a different approach when i see someone in my community going overboard with insults. Calling someone a "fucking moron" is just that. It does not mean i think your are a terrible person Jealous - you are allowed to be upset as well. But don't expect this world to not say "hey, wow, slow down a little" when words gets too heated. You would't want TL to be a place where shit hits the fan everyother day either. | ||

Sure there are fanatics, but this thread is not "filled with tastosis fanatics". Altough if what you say is true, that someone is a real nutcase. Have you never been fanatical about anything? Sure some people in this thread might be putting all their eggs in the tastosis basket, but that's just their feelings you know. How do we get them to feel like there are other casters and events in BW that is worth watching too? Maybe if we show that this is a community that is understanding and positive they would want to stick around and see the the value in it? | ||

You aren't owed anything, and the idea that Afreeca is "betraying" their fans by ceasing to operate at a loss to give them stuff is ridiculous. The entitlement is off the charts and I guess I can feel comfortable saying I thought TL was a little better than that because most of you re-registered or de-lurked just to whine. I love Tastosis, I think they're amazing and I feel sorry that they can't keep doing a job they love (glad they have other opportunities) but even they're not *entitled* to that job, talented and entertaining as they are. Let alone all you crybaby kids. | ||

What i see is mostly an outporing of appreciation for tastosis and how they have functioned as an important gateway for people to enjoy BW. Now, a part of that appreciation and love is being expressed in the form of frustration and short sightedness in the face of Afreeca terminating their contract with tastosis. You and me know that Afreeca have basically provided the tastosis stream for free the last 10 season, with limited ways of profitting from it. Clearly many of the people that is expressing anger towards Afreeca is not aware of this. We could either explain this fact to them in a friendly manner or we can attack them and call them idiots. That is the jest of what i'm trying to get at. Most of the experienced and respected TL members are both fair and friendly, so it shouldn't be a problem really  | ||
