Actually if you were here when BW was popular you would know this was wrong
WHen foreigners went over there, the koreans gave them much respect. Koreans treat their guests very well. The only reason why they wouldnt get treated well is if they were B teamers, and even korean b teamers get treated bad. Thats not being racist on foreigners
Just like Liquid' and oGs (I think thats the name..)
Liquid' has said multiple times how nice the oGs people are to them and how hospitable they are

Same concept that the smarty pants in the manner thread skimmed by. Words take on new meanings over time. Perhaps not correct in the formal sense, but understood by the community that uses it.
|
I really hate these threads where people that come from outside the Starcraft scene and try to question the lingo that is used in it. Really what you're doing here is taking the word, ignoring the context of it and pointing out how it doesn't make sense... if you don't follow professional Starcraft.
|
its not a correct term for sc2.
|
People can be so ridiculously sensitive...
It's just the lingo in the Starcraft community. And it's not even one that's meant to be derogatory.
Next threads: "Don't call it 'Cheese' Anymore. Call it 'Early Game All-In' " and "Stop yelling 'TLO Fighting!' You're not Korean enough to say it, especially with a Korean accent!"

Starcraft was made by Blizzard, an American company. If anything Koreans are the foreigners playing an American game with English voices, white characters and ZERO Asians. I just think of it as US, Europe, and Korea tbh though. I don't care if Koreans started E-sports or are better at the game its still our game.
Its pretty BM to call people foreigners.
And yeh foreigner is negative just like if you called them aliens. Nobody likes foreigners they cause much inconvenience and irritation. If you say you like foreigners you are a liar because it doesn't matter who you are they will cause irritation and stress esp if they don't integrate and refuse to learn the language. I mean lets take it a step further, who thinks TOURISTS are annoying and they can be from the same State. Amiright? Foreigners are like permanent tourists that spread to where you are everyday and don't just stay in the tourist areas.

If you're not a Korean citizen playing Starcraft, you're a foreigner. Don't worry about it there's nothing wrong with that.
|
foreigners does not have any negative connotations unless you are a racist. look up the definition, this is true.
blitzkrieger: you sound like a sc noob and a racist.
Koreans started the starcraft culture/religion and they can chose to use any terms they like.
|
I really don't see how people can think Koreans calling people not from Korea "Foreigner" can offend someone...
If you go to Korea, and you are not from Korea, yes, you are a foreigner. Would be the same if the SC scene was in the USA or over in Europe.

It's StarCraft culture now. It's a term that's been used because eSports have a strong foundation in Korea, not in the Western world.
Geez, why are all these threads popping up suddenly ?
First the one about 'manner', then the one about Koreans "horrified" by BM, and now we have a thread about the term 'foreigner'? Which one is next today? I'm going to guess... Hm. I don't have a good guess.

I am a foreigner living in a country outside my original home country, so thanks for that great post. I bet you have a lot of foreign friends.
It's funny how you also said "it's pretty BM to call people foreigners" in the same post.
As blitzkrieger clearly showed us, the people who have problems with the term "foreigner" are primarily the people who view the term in a negative light. He hates foreigners because he is a racist douche so he also hates being called by the same term. Meanwhile, for others, "foreigner" is a just a term, so they're fine with it.

"Should Koreans be banned from SC?" would be my guess =\

Seems like you're making something out of nothing. This lingo has been around for years now, vast majority of the community had no problem with it. It is actually nice to have that everyone against Korea mentality.
|
it's BW history, and no reasonable person has had a problem with it until now, so who cares? just drop it. there's nothing to it until you make something to it.
|
Blitzkrieger you are a racist
|
Hey man nobody's losing sleep over it. Just thought I should point it out after Tasteless mentioned something about using non-korean instead of foreigner during one of the GSL casts. It just made a lot of sense to me, even though he still occasionally uses foreigner (and stasis.... and dragoon... and sunken when casting sc2 lol)
I watched the same cast, you understood it wrong. this was in context of them not being koreans. so it is technically wrong from their perspective. this was NOT because the word is demeaning or insulting in any sense.
|
i wont stop call it foreigner, its nice word and im used to it. u got foreigners and koreans, thats the way it is and always has been with sc ^^
korea deserve to be the core of sc after all they done~ if we manage to get better at them then we can talk about it^^

Another example of someone who should take a moment to understand the community they have joined, rather than speaking up and looking like a donk.
