I, and I'm sure many others as well, are extremely curious about TL's stance on this issue. Because I'm getting a lot of mixed messages based on past and current examples. Why should they? They are not involved in this. No need for the pope to comment either. | ||

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. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA it's progress to call people faggots and niggers now. that's a fucking laugh. | ||

Of course it is bad if the prevalent opinion of some race is that they are inferior to other races but using a slang word like "gook" or "nigger" don't necessarily contain anything like that. I have heared these words being used many times and I just think of them as insults like any other, so I don't really see the problem with using them. | ||

The one liner which never explained a single ban or justified the existence of moderators should not be used as a defense for what is essentially not defensible. EDIT: I feel I should add that by "featuring" a stream, a process which is not in the hands of a user, but the website staff, a part of the onus for moderating the content does in fact fall on them whether they like it or not. | ||

It just means you used a bad word. Just like when I call someone dumb I don't mean I think that they are unable to speak or that that would be a negative thing. Or when I call someone a jackass I don't mean they look like a donkey or if they were a donkey it would be a bad thing. | ||

And we are not living in Communist/Gestapo land. That have nothing to do with sc2 but think about it. He should be allowed to say it and take consiquenses for it. We know hes not a racist so maybe what he says donst mean that much right. | ||

It's 2012, racial slurs don't mean anything. These words still having meaning. Even though some of these words are used differently now in some cases, it doesn't mean that they aren't used for hate anymore. | ||

There's a huge difference between using slurs and being a racist. Are you aware what "DaeHanMinGuk" means? Do you see the "ㅈㅈ" typed before Destiny decides to call him a gook? | ||

I'm actually more curious about whether destiny actually read this thread. He has read it and responded to it a few times. | ||

First thing I want to say is dude... I think you should really give the community more credit. I seriously doubt community figures (in this case Destiny) using racial slurs on stream would make it okay for widespread use in the community. Second, the fact that threads like this go on for hundreds of pages every time its brought up should be an indicator that people aren't taking this sort of stuff lightly, most posts seem to either A) Not give a shit that someone is using slurs on the internet or B) Think its wrong that community figures (players, sorry orb) get away with stuff like this. Third, tbh your post just reeks of an elementary school kid telling on someone for calling him names, why even make this thread? If he hurt your feelings then talk to him after the game or talk to his team, there is literally no reason to make a thread about something like this. It just really seems like you want some kind of witch hunt started. | ||

I can't tell you what destiny actually thinks. I can tell you that when he uses these words he SOUNDS like a racist and a hompohobe. | ||

Responding irrationally doesn't help anybody. You don't have to respond to everyone who posts in the thread if you can't pull it off in a way that helps rather than hinders the discussion. | ||

I'll even do you the favor of not quoting your other posts bashing orb. It's silly to suggest that a distinction should be made between players and casters, considering that Destiny is less known for his play than for his prominence in the community. You can't apply different standards to those you like and those you don't. LOL, I guess I should feel proud that you remember posts I wrote months ago but seems you don’t even understand what I wrote. First of all I don’t like or dislike Destiny and I have zero interest in him or his stream. I don’t condone the use of these words in any capacity and I don’t even think his stream should be featured on TL but I also feel that if you want to use these words on your own stream then that is your prerogative (don’t cry if it bites you on the arse though). Destiny does not hold much prominence in the community for me. His juvenile behaviour and language appeals to a small minority but if Destiny was to become a caster, I would be against it. I do not want someone that hands out racial slurs like they are candy representing this community. As it stands he works for himself and as long as he is not breaking any laws he can do what he wants. I hope that is simple enough for you to understand. | ||
