He says racist things because he lives in a culture that is okay with saying those things aloud--it isn't with malicious intent that he says those things. Is it still a problem? Yes. Is the problem with Destiny? No--the problem is with the community he is in. What community is that? American gamers. How do you fix American gamers? Fix america. That sounds stupid. Because it is. i'm not quite sure what your point is? fix the american gamer? this is an organizational and financial issue that we are discussing. being racist is a violation of the COC contract written by Quantic and all teams of professional sports. Sponsors will be livid the asian fan base turns off to Quantic because of his openly anti-asian remark. | ||

At least give QxG a chance to respond before e-mailing sponsors, which are so pivotal in the growth of the scene at this point. There's the old saying that gets tossed around 'hurting esports', but directly e-mailing sponsors as a knee jerk reaction to something you don't like is actually potentially so harmful to the scene. Please, at least wait. You know what? If we're going to be a community that harbors racism and homophobia, then we don't deserve sponsors. All the figure heads freaked out when we emailed EG's sponsors because they saw their incomes evaporating. But if they're going to tolerate that stuff, then their incomes should evaporate. If QxG is going to continue to let Destiny behave that way, then a financial incentive is the only thing that's going to get them to control him. | ||

If you really feel there should be something done about this and you know QxG wont do anything I will let QxG know how I feel then take the next step. | ||

We should put aside our personal biases and see this as a case of such a representative using a racial slur within the context of his professional work. Realistically, Destiny should be expelled from Quantic Gaming, and sponsorship pulled by Razer. SC2 has a reputation for relative politeness when compared with other gaming communities. Destiny's actions, and those who defend the use of such racial slur, are equally culpable in dragging SC2 in a direction which helps nobody, and harms the community in spirit and reputation. Well said. | ||

I think if the user genuinely feels the way he does, his action is fine. QxG is well aware of all of this and was when they signed him. If you contact QxG and get a response you strongly disagree with, then there is some basis to it, even though I don't agree with it, but if you are actually going to go directly to the sponsor without going through QxG first, then you are being irrational and harmful. | ||

After about 30 seconds: "Holy crap it's May..." Also, people just need some chaos in their life. The "drama" seekers. It's natural for people to want to spice up their life. It's pretty sad that they decide to resort to this type of complaining. I'm not condoning the actions of Destiny, but rather find OPs (and others who are like-minded) to be petty and boring people. | ||

Well said. actually it's totally off-base, speech like this is not accepted in american society. where it is accepted is the gamer community, not just the american gamer community but the global community. as to "OH NO DONT CONTACT SPONSORS THAT HURTS ESPORTS," if it hurts esports thats destinys responsibility. | ||

This kind of behavior will only serve to make current and future sponsors wary of even getting in the esports world. It hurts us all. Talk to Quantic. | ||
