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 surrounding topics such as racism, and the pushing away of minority groups is something that has been incredibly prevalent for so long. Yet, in 2012 and beyond all odds, we’re still spewing this same aggression towards people in the same manner, and still for no reason. Moreover, this is being done on a professional level, and in a game. 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. Most Asians wouldn't really care if someone used the term "gook" negatively. Most white people wouldn't care if someone used the tern "cracker" negatively. The only people who care in this community are insecure angry trolls. I bet most the people who are saying racism is a huge problem when something like this happens are white guys playing the high horse card. I'm half white so I believe I can make that generalization. Racism is a problem. This particular occurrence isn't part of it. If your so offended by this, become a political activist and actually discuss something that is meaningful. This thread is just ignorance. I am Asian and caucasian. Racial comments at this level are so trivial and not racist at all. so you're a hapa? are you offended by that slur?
I am half white and I can sincerely state that that is the most hafa assed racial slur I've ever been exposed to.

I think SC just trying to find an excuse to get Destiny unfeatured because he doesnt like him, poor single war and hes using the racist thing as his flag but everybody will tell you that they wouldnt care if some1 would have called him like that .

18 Pages?! MODs must all be sleeping

Grow up, its people in the SC community like destiny that make stuff interesting. Maybe stop being so polite and shake things up every once in awhile. And do not run to their sponsors and complain. That's basically the definition of being a faggot and i'm sure destiny wouldn't hesitate to call you that again if you keep whining.
|
I suggest you call the police this is an outrage and he should proberly be in a jail for this unacceptable and dangerous behavior.
I would go so fare to say that Destiny might be the greatest threat to humanity we have ever faced.

Wow, he has to be fired and his stream has to be permanently removed from this site. Not sure if it already is or not but it has/had to happen. This thread is a mess and the arguments to defend him are ridiculous. What I read most:
- he always was like that and won't change:
Come on, that is just stupid. Let's say you get caught stealing, you very likely wouldn't get away with "oh but I was always stealing, that is just who I am"
- he is not trying to represent the community, he just wants to be himself:
Unfortunately that is not possible because he is making money from it. As long as he is a member of a team and a featured streamer he represents this community if he wants to or not.
- grow some balls, it wasn't a bad insult
Well, it is. It is the very definition of a racist slur motivated by racist thoughts. It is far worse than what the EGs guy did because he only threw random insults without actually targeting anyone directly. The only difference is that with the horrible US past he used a forbidden word so he got rightfully fired. QuanticDestiny on the other hand actively called someone inferior because of his race which is an unaccaptable lowblow. And for the balls part, maybe QuanticDestiny should grow some and stop being a crybaby about losing. good points i agree
I couldn't agree more with Fenrax. There are so many destiny fans here trying to defend him at all costs, a lot like with Orb, but worse. Do we really need to have this argument about whether it's "fine" to use racial slurs while raging in a SC2 game again? I'd assume it was settled with Orb.

The funny thing is that Gook is actually part of your name since it comes from the Korean word Guk, and for some reason you chose to call yourself Korea (Daehanminguk) in the game. He was basically calling you by your name.
No, he wasn't. The word has a history in the US going back to WWII/Korean War/Vietnam. It was used as a derogatory term towards enemy (or friendly) soldiers/civilians. That's exactly how he used it.

I don't know why people are calling this a pointless hate thread.
The OP is the one who's been slurred at by Destiny. This isn't some random stream spectator complaining about Destiny's language. This is someone who is the subject of the "entertainment" provided by Destiny, who also feels that the language used on him isn't warranted (though he understands the "intent" might not be there).
Imagine if you're the toy that a few thousand people laugh at when someone makes fun of you. It's not a nice feeling.
As for people who believes in standing by Destiny being Destiny, there's no need to take offence at this thread at all is there?
|
I don't know why people want to defeature Destiny. He did a good job educating his viewers to insult the OP. He's a effective community figure. People learn so much from him, look at this thread.
If there were no Destiny, where do we learn to insult the OP now? We don't want a bunch of nice people because that would be bad for esports. Nice manner is ruining esports. Oh this is tragic.
Don't defeature Destiny. He's da boss.

Pretty sure this is what destiny made his career from. Not only racial slurs but... just being destiny
|
Well... considering how fast this thread is growing, people should not really use racial slurs when they lose. Pretty apparent these kinds of insults are controversial and will create a shitstom.

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. So... if someone calls me "nazi" in a computer game again, I should go to teamliquid, post a screenshot of it, then I should head to the police to report him,... or I just ignore the idiot and move on... tough decision.
people don't understand the difference between the freedom of speech to say anything you want and being a contractual servant to A professional SC2 team. That Professional players can not get away with calling other people gook, nigger, cracker, Nazi if they were German, Spick, Guniea , etcetera. They are held to higher standards than ordinary SC2 players who are not professional (obligated to Fans, Team,and Sponsors).
If some nobody called me a gook online, yeah it would hurt, but I would get over it. But if Naniwa called me a gook online, I would find that pretty unacceptable. That's my angle on it.

Pretty much this. I'm pretty sure any german speaking person has been the victim of this online at some point.. Just lol and move on.

It bothers me that people on TL are telling people that this may offend to "not get offended" and "toughen up". These people are MOST likely heterosexual white males that quite frankly have no idea as to what they are talking about.

Guys, the issue here is that there's absolutely a double standard. If ANY other player acted like this, they'd be in a hell of a lot of trouble. Because it is Destiny, and he's known for it, somehow that makes it okay? It really shouldn't.

If only it were as simple as it being 1v1 without a stream, thousands of viewers(who are prone to crusading on his behalf), a featuring on team liquid, sponsors etc involved.

As long as high school aged kids play SC2, Destiny will be popular
I don't necessarily think Destiny should be dropped by Quantic, but he shouldn't be a featured streamer on TL. He is the only featured streamer with such tendencies.
