+ Show Spoiler + Seriously, don't. If you have a problem with Destiny then go to his team manager. | ||

Destiny uses racist slurs the same way south park uses curse words. If someone pushing the envelope and saying taboo things hurts your delicate sensibilities, it's no excuse not to excersize some personal responsibility by using the block feature, or not giving a shit if you don't. | ||

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. You do know this is Destiny right? Not only is this standard of him, but he has said in interviews that this is how he talks and who he is. Quantic knew what they were getting when they signed him on. | ||

There is an ignore feature for players, if you don't like what someone has to say, ignore them. If you don't like what someone says on their stream, don't watch it. Stop worrying so much about what other people say, as much as you may want to you cannot and should not try to dictate it. | ||

Don't pull the "he is ruining esports" thing here. This has all been debated, people are beating a dead horse. If he said the "nigger", he would be castrated and tbh..I didn't even know what "gook" meant..I had to google it ~.~ | ||

In 1/100000 cases, of course you can. The persecution law prohibits such talk - as is true in most western contries as far as I know - but actually making a case of it would be very rare.

This thread is absolutely ridiculous. Are we going to try and stomp someone out of the community if they call a white guy a cracker? There are all these absolutely entertaining and great people who make this community awesome and you look at one thing and decide "hes a racist.... burn him". | ||

Because of that, things are what they are. It doesn't make it OK, and it doesn't make it excusable. If you really want to try to affect change then, like some people have said, express it to Quantic and Quantic's sponsors. That's the only real way to make anything change from the status quo. PS: The distinction between this and the Orb situation is that Orb was denying/covering up what was known about him. In any scandal the number one mistake is trying to cover things up. That's the number one way to make things worse. Destiny isn't covering anything up. This has been his MO forever and he defends it vigorously. | ||

And of course why people like to watch idra his stream over much better zergs is cause he rages. Reason why people watch destiny instead of good rts players is cause he behaves like this... It seems to be what the majority of the people here want to see, kinda sad really. | ||

I don't care if who it is either. I don't think orb should have been berated anymore then Destiny will be. He's playing for his own enjoyment and to be an entertainer. It's what his fans like. I think people need to grow a little bit of thicker skin, personally. | ||

Can't remember who got defeatured for the n-word, but I guess everyone should be treated the same way. When Orb got banned and actually lost his job, there were people actually argueing if he actually is racist... which is just wrong in the first place, but now people in here white knight for Destiny because 'thats just how he is' and the OP should 'stop to cry' ? Seriously, double-standards. I hold no grudge against Destiny and I couldn't care less about racial slurs, because I don't think its the racial slur that he intends to do, but rather to insult the other person. He could easily say son of a bitch or sorts of that and it would also fit the purpose. I just don't think we should start to handle same situations differently, just because someone is more or less known for bm. So much this. Well said and I entirely agree. | ||
