I'm a support worker and i work with people who have learning difficulties or are in wheelchairs etc. but if i get six pooled on the ladder you can bet your ass im calling that guy out as a retard. Break down the taboo's with these words don't protect their status as hate words, its just stupid to propagate the image of hate from 100 years ago or more. | ||

There's a huge difference between using slurs and being a racist. using a racial slur shows that your are at least slightly racist, because you think that being of that race is a negative thing. | ||

I don't see why this is surprise, you aren't going to change it, and if he really aggravates you, ignore him. You never have to watch a single minute of his stream. don't worry, I never have and never will. it more bothers me that you call it entertainment because "oh boy! he might curse someone out and/or call them a racial slur!" | ||

Are you seriously making an entire thread about that? Think about it. words have no meaning now? interesting theory coming from someone who communicates exclusively with them on the internet. | ||

This is like the one millionth post about why destiny is bad for the community, everyone knows how he acts, and i think if nothing has happened by now, nothing is ever going to happen. In fact he is the only reason i even know about quantic, and support them. I think he has served his purpose for the team. Lol, I don't really get it. I don't consider being featured in Forbes Magazine as a negative. | ||

You are never going to convince a person who thinks like that they they are wrong and just being childish. So you're not, then? Okay. There's a pretty famous video of Destiny debating someone about this exact topic, including your argument. I just wondered if you were familiar with the arguments for and against what you said (since you say that you think it's clear, but I don't think it is). When people say "we all know ____" or "it's clear that ___" as a priori facts, I tune them out faster than the guy saying scary hurtful words on a video game stream. Dunno about the rest of you... | ||

There's a huge difference between using slurs and being a racist. No. There isn't. If you're using racist slurs against people you are a fucking racist. How much of this fucking thread is white people making arguments about intent as though a person of color, or minority, or Korean GIVES A FUCK how he meant it, why is everyone falling over themselves to view this only from the perspective of a white male (it is because the vast majority of you are white males and this the only goddamn thing you can relate to, you are so broken you cannot even fathom people having different lives or experiences than the one you've had). Even if Steven called someone who wasn't a korean that word that doesn't make it a not racist word and it doesn't mean he wasn't clearly using it in a bigoted way. | ||

Am I offended by destiny's use of the word "gook"? nope. His usage of "nigger", nope. They're just words. If you're gunna get offended by a guy you've never met, just because he used a racial slur, there are FAR bigger issues in your self esteem, than the actual usage of the racial slur. | ||

That's what they mean. but he can't use a different word for some reason? one that doesn't have that connotation? or let me guess that tramples on his rights or some bullshit. or maybe it just doesn't agitate people enough and then his viewer counts go bye bye | ||

Wait klondi, i remember you, you're the kid who thought racism can only marginalize a minority right? You should probably learn what racism is before you comment on racism. Also, I do not find this offensive, one of the reasons I watch destiny is because he is so out-spoken. It is refreshing and enjoyable to me. On another note taboos like this historically prevent progress, I imagine that the same people who are complaining about this are the same types of people that historically have actually hunted taboo shit down. They are the same people who persecute for pushing the envelope and making possible progress. The same type of people who are now in a witch-hunt against density would have booed Stravinsky off the stage for offending standards and defiling music. These are the same types of people who would have agreed with the then status quo off hitler calling the work of the German impressionists the art of the degenerate. Despite it not being the best term he could have used people who push the envelope are the people that make progress and change. Going against progress is just anti-intellectual. | ||
