If Im Quantic I may not like it, but then again, is it getting more views? maybe creating drama and being abrasive brings more attention to destiny, and therefore Quantic, and when he does something like this, they can apoligize, look like the good guy and continue on. ( Sorta like how EG lets idra do what he pleases, he brings in the fans/haters, viewers and sponser $) What I find interesting about this is, Most of the discussion is about the use of the racial term "gook". When the word "Faggot" may be seen as just as abrasive and hateful as gook. Just an interesting trend I picked up on. | ||

How many other sports around the world let people use racial slurs when they lose?

I completely and utterly support the fact that destiny should be able to say whatever the hell he wants. | ||

You're just wrong here. The flood of emails to EG's sponsors could have potentially cost them a major sponsorship when the issue was hardly their fault. Orb had barely spent any time working with them before this went down. I don't know how you could look at that and say it's a good thing. Their hand wasn't "forced" by reddit and others. That decision was to be made regardless. The additional complaints and emails for an issue such as this do FAR more harm than good. Again, it's not the community's job to fix these issues. Only to present them and let authority make changes if deemed necessary. So for this particular situation, threads like this are helpful and contacting Quantic is helpful. Complaining to the sponsors is NOT helpful. You're hurting everyone and not solving the issue. | ||

True, but Quantic does want a foot in the door, and the PC deathball will roll over anything which it finds distasteful. Since Destiny is irrelevent, getting rid of him wouldn't be that impactful, right? | ||

It would also have been false, so... Whatever, your responses have always been ego-driven. | ||

He says "nigger" or as people, who don't like slurring out others, call it the N word, plenty. Its not based around the idea of him using this as a singular example but as a prolonged "thing." Literally this is assumed his thing. There are many players who BM, but he, Lalush, and once Idra (though he has calmed down now i believe) were the most insane zerg bm-ers seemingly. Its not ok for the professionalism of e-sports, but at least we aren't other e-sports where this is an accepted thing, like i believe a professional tribes team was named after women's genitalia. | ||

I am, thank you. FWIW, I don't think anyone else is particularly stupid, just wrong. You should learn to separate discourse from your identity. | ||

I do agree that we shouldn't be running to the sponsors yet, but past history suggests that Quantic doesn't care what destiny does. So if a few days go by and nothing has happened, going to the sponsors will be a very valid reaction. | ||
