A few months ago Morhaime had to make a public apology for some homophobic crap said and celebrated during one of their big events. As a result, Blizzard is now hyper aggressive about stomping on homophobes. If I were Destiny, Quantic and Razer I'd be more concerned about Blizzard's official response to the non stop homophobic drivel that spews from Destiny's stream and that he expresses while on Blizzard's BNet2 "social gaming platform". He says the word Faggot THAT IS IT. Seriously WTF you make it sound like he sits on his computer for 5 hours a day and talks about how gay people are ruining this country and how Dem' der fagz is gonna give me the gay and dem supzer aids in the ass hole. For fucks same he says faggot some times holy shit that is it you are a fucking retarded if you believe destiny is homophobic or racist. Like serious you should probly go to some kind of mental hospital because you are quite literally retarded you probably need some kind of maid to clean your ass because idk how you function with this kind of thought. | ||

I feel like the argument "It's just destiny, he's always like that", isn't valid since other people, ex. Orb, got punished really hard for it. In the end it's up to Quantic / sponsors, but i can't really support such a behaviour, since we, TL, have one of the greatest communitys out there. Would be a shame if incidents like this should change that. The discussion's been had many times before. People who fall to one side will continue to believe that post-discussion, as will people on the otherside. It's an argument about a meaningless topic where people's opinions will never be changed. | ||

In American mainstream media, this would plainly be unacceptable and potentially career ending. Do you have to agree with that? Not necessarily, but if you want esports to succeed and go mainstream, then you need to deal with the public perception, whether you agree with it or not. | ||

LOL, I think he is the worst comparison. I am a White Sox fan. Dude got away with "verbal murder" for a long time. Although it has caught up to him. | ||

I can't believe anybody honestly thinks Destiny is a racist. He is known for his bouts of BM and a lot of people actually find them very entertaining. But maybe we should expel IdrA from the esports community too, since he says bad words and stuff too sometimes. Get your pitchforks people. | ||

I strongly, strongly doubt that many if any of you have sought an explanation from QxG prior to this thread being opened. Yet here we are, with so many people up in arms to get him defeatured, kicked off his team, or pressure Quantic's sponsors into forcing them into action. If this stuff is so offensive to you, then why are you only acting now. You should've been on Quantic's case months ago. I don't support Destiny in this case, but these are just my 2 cents. | ||

Quantic knew exactly what they got be signing him. Like it or hate it, it's nothing new and been debated to death allready. Personally not a fan of this, but - if there's been one person that has been upfront, clear, and honest about doing this stuff and not giving a shit, it's Destiny. He is not hiding that he is doing and saying dumb shit like this all the time. | ||

He too got slammed for using the word "fag." Something he hilariously attempted to explain away by noting that he goes to WNBA games. | ||

Banned in a heart beat from the forums, yet put on a pedestal and given free advertising. What is TL's stance? There are clearly conflicting views at play here. | ||

There were a lot of human and civil rights groups who were furious over the incident. for Kobe $100K fine is about the equivalent of a $30 parking ticket for an average income earner. +1 though for using cool sounding phrases like "irrelevent strawman" though..wp! | ||

The jeremy lin case is because the guy knew he is asian and made the "joke" about him. | ||

When a person uses homophobic and racial slurs all the time, then assuming he has bigoted views is fair. | ||
