No. Professionalism is not insulting other people.

The simple response of "who cares?" has to be the most unprocessed, extremist conservative thing to say. How can you honestly say that these things do NOT matter? The ignorance in America + Show Spoiler + and other places I suppose Blows my mind. it's just not america. It's the attitude of caucasian privilege as I call it. I'm not going to flame too much. I don't think caucasians would like it if Asians called white people crackers to their face. and all the other slurs that come with being of a certain country or religion. slurs for Polish English Irish Italians etcetera none of you polish, English, irish, or Italians would like it if Desitny directly called you one of those slurs, if he knew you of that ethnicity. | ||

Bad comparison for the situation at hand, I don't think IdrA ever pulled racist slang words like that in his famous "IdrA rage" comments. Maybe a "French-Canadians...in general...seem a bit off." on his stream but that's about it :D | ||

Well how about remove him as a featured streamer? Featuring someone is obviously an endorsement of them to some extent, and TL shouldn't be endorsing someone who spews racism. To be fair, if TL had to de-feature someone every time they used a slur they literally would not have a featured stream list. They do have a process for de-featuring someone but (if Orb's situation was standard protocol) there's an ongoing dialogue about their behavior for quite some time before they actually pull the plug. | ||

Sure it might not have been a guy as famous as Destiny.. I have never been called anything on ladder except that my race is op the last 3 month but its rare. haven't been playing allot lately either. Its maybe that i don't all in that much :D. | ||

Ha.Ha.Ha. People get angry while laddering and losing - deal with it and just leave without insulting other players : ) we have too many babies here. | ||

Or you could just not watch his stream and encourage others not to watch, and if his popularity does disappear then he'll be un-featured. Seems like a better option than demanding for him to be removed when thousands of people still want to watch him. | ||

That's what happens when kids watch something cool on TV and copy it. Age restriction required on the stream because of these kids : )" Above is what I said, I am not going into whether Destiny is allowed or not allowed or right or wrong that sort of stuff. It gets nowhere. What I know is that OP should not be dissed for this post. You said the OP raised a valid point, which implies that there is a point worth discussing. I said OP raised no points at all and should have acted by reporting Destiny's behaviour to tl, his streaming service, and even Quantic if he was so offended instead of starting a thread on the forums to publicize it. If all of them feel it is unnecessary to take any action against Destiny, the standards in western esports are to blame, not a guy who is a mere product of these standards This thread does not provide meaningful content. It's just a thread where Destiny fans and growth-of-esports fans will bitchslap each other until they get bored or somebody does something about it. | ||

To your second point: - Contact Quantic sponsors - Pressure TL to un-feature his stream. Now, you can question whether these are too harsh or they are not too harsh. However, I think that trying to raise the level of discourse in the community can only make things better for everyone. This doesn't mean that people need to always be nice, but it does mean that we can get past childish and offensive slurs and ridiculous flaming that happens now. | ||

The hypocrisy is rather amazing , all the frustrated little reddit drones who smashed their keyboards trying to ruin orbs career, now laughing about how "boys will be boys" with destiny. Hypocritical childish attitudes like this makes me want e-sports to die if this is what a large percentage of the community consists of. It's absolutely disgusting | ||

If quantic isn't going to discipline Destiny for his provocative actions against an online opponent, that confirms, to me, that it's not a big deal to call asian people Gooks in the eyes of Quantic Gaming.. how sad. | ||
