its just a ladder game It is just a ladder game, but its also a ladder game that was probably being streamed live to thousands of viewers. This isn't the first time he's used these choice words either. I watched his LoL stream a week ago when he used the same choice words to the other team while he had a little over 4k viewers. | ||

I personally would like to see that Quantic makes clear that they do not endorse this kind of behavior. But as said, they won't act until enough people complain. | ||

I said racism IS A PROBLEM. The fact is, the way its being conveyed now is NOT. The reason why racism will never be fixed is because we make big fucking deals about it when shit like this happens. No, we should make a big fucking deal out of it when racism actually infringes on harming another human being. Taking racism seriously exponentially expands the ideals to be world wide in turn making the problem worse. If your so god dam passionate about the problem why don't you start a activist group and fight REAL racism. Instead you fight this trivial problem on the internet so you can pat yourself on the back afterwards thinking you made a difference. Free speech is based on the marketplace of ideas, and societies responsibility to discern the good from the terrible. I'm just trying to do my part to point out how ridiculous it is to try and condone this kind of language. | ||

Furthermore I would never have wanted to share my eSports passion with my friends if I was worried they would be exposed to this. It would offend them, and reflect poorly on this community. It DOES reflect poorly on this community. Thinking that everyone should "grow up" and expect, condone, or passively endorse this kind of behavior is completely backwards. People say a lot of stupid shit on the internet, it's true. That doesn't mean it has to spill over into our budding eSports economy. You talk about getting mad at those wanting to tell sponsors? Get mad at Destiny for putting us in this position! I support eSports NOT RACIAL SLURS. Blame the person responsible, and expect responsibility to be taken. That is how you act "grown up". | ||

There's no way he would be okay with someone using racial slurs like "nigger" and "gook". What he is talking about is, for example, people being offended by someone saying there is no God, or making a large banner saying "you can be good without God" and put it on busses. He does not mean it's okay to use racial slurs. As for it being his personal stream.. yeah, it is. No one has to watch it. But at the end of the day, Team Liquid is making a statement by making him a featured streamer. Here is the best point in this thread. Well said. | ||

However we are allowed to call people out on their mistakes...and in this situation where Destiny continues to do it over and over again we will continue to point it out. | ||

It's an intentional action. | ||

In fact, a majority of Destiny's success is based off of his personality, not his results in tournament play. Destiny is open about his choice of words and defend against it. Orb lied several times about the usage of racial comments. There is a huge difference :S | ||

I trust you'll replace the money he's made for children in need with your own once you're done getting him fired and shit. Take care of your own business ffs. If you have a problem with what he says on his stream, don't watch it. | ||
