Now I understand that one may get frustrated if he/she loses in a game (I've been there myself). I also understand that it is his stream and he may say that he can do whatever the hell he wants in his stream. However, he stands now as a "community figure" who has the reach to influence thousands of viewers daily and can skew the public's view of sc2 community in an extremely negative direction. Isn't it reasonable to expect a level of professionalism from a player that plays on a professional team? I just don't think spurting out racial slurs left and right in front of a large audience is why Quantic sponsors Destiny to market their team. As a note, I don't think QuanticDestiny is a true racist. However, I do believe that ignorance towards his excessive use of racial slurs would eventually lead to tolerance within the community and that would be a very dangerous outcome. ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/y8F8n.jpg) >"I understand that it is his stream" >posts a screenshot of a replay this conversation has already been had before a million times, i just wanted to point out the irony of your point. | ||

You can't just called asians gooks (riskoger in Danish) and expect to get away with it. | ||

This should be taken on the same level of seriousness that Orb's was. He should clean up or get Quantic to clean him up, its unacceptable to be such a large community figure and be publicly saying racial slurs like this. Grow up and get over it. The reason nothing will happen(shouldn't anyway) is because reddit loves Destiny and hates orb so there will not be a huge push to call the Quantic sponsors like there was w/ orb/EG. For the record : not a fan of Destiny at all just think this issue is ridiculous. | ||

Why don't you try understanding what your reading before posting another idiotic post such as this. The one sided completely skewed attacks that people like you post on this forum make actual discussions impossible because you refuse to come up with something logically sound before posting. Learn to look at the words around the offensive ones before calling someone racist please. " I am going to eat a cracker" "Look at the white cracker kid" See. In the English language many words mean many different things. It isn't that hard to understand. He called people with Asian names 'gooks'. Pretty open and shut case in terms of context. | ||

It sucks if he offended you, and being on a professional team they may want to tone down his use of racial slurs. I have no problem with him calling someone "fucking skilless" or even "faggot" (As far as I'm aware, only straight white girls really mind the use of this word, and I'm all for un-restricting speech), but racial slurs tend to polarize people. You should have called him a honky, that'd have been funny. PS. I'm going to assume that you aren't Warden from CS, since that dude was a big 'ol whitey  | ||

2) Disappointed that a popular streamer doesn't acknowledge your immense skill. 3) Make a thread on TL to stir shit up (pulling out an "orb" is an ideal). 4) ... 5) Nah, you don't get to profit, sorry. | ||

If a player or caster did this kind of thing it would be unacceptable, but he isn't really a player (i.e. making money from tournaments), and he isnt really a caster, but he's marketed himself as basically just an entertaining guy to watch (if you like that kind of thing). Look at Idra, he's what you'd call a proper player but at the same time he isnt really the very best. So people don't all really watch his stream to improve, cos if they did then DRG's stream would have more viewers. People watch basically for the "omg maybe he'll BM someone soon lololololol" It's the same thing with destiny, he has to be a dick because if he didnt then all the dicks who watch his stream would go somewhere else. | ||

His choice of words aren't a true gentleman's, but it isn't our business either. If you don't like him, keep your distance. Don't pull the "he is ruining esports" thing here. This has all been debated, people are beating a dead horse. | ||

So I think we should allow fate to run its course... let Destiny get beaten up in real life when he calls an Asian a gook to his face, or let him get arrested by the police (lol?). On StarCraft, at worst he'd get a temp ban for harrassment, right? Let that play out then. OP should file a complaint to Blizzard. If he wants to notify Quantic (even though Quantic surely knows that Destiny curses), he can do that. I don't understand why it's posted on TeamLiquid though. As if we didn't know Destiny has a potty mouth? I never considered Destiny to be a loving player or caster... I don't watch him (or not watch him), or like (or dislike) him because of his squeaky clean personality. I know what I'm going to get when I open Destiny's stream or play him. And that's that. | ||
