Well said. Its only a matter of time before people start asking themselves "rofl why was I overreacting?"

I would have said something to that effect too if i were him.
If you're bad you're gonna be called out for it. Losing to Terran allin as Zerg is quite possibly the most frustrating experience in this game, or maybe in any game at all. What you did was bad play and you totally should have expected it.
Also, you don't need to argue that it was a 'legitimate' strategy because obviously it is. But look what happened to TSLRain some time ago when he cheesed Nestea repeatedly in GSL. Did he get sh!t from everyone ? Yes. And it stuck with him for almost a year too.
I'm Asian and I never get offended by racist remarks on ladder. Just think of it as a typical offensive comment cuz it clearly doesnt mean to be racist at all.

This. I don't like destiny but my god people saying "we'll just e-mail the sponsors" wtf lol. He has been doing this since the beginning and now people are randomly upset by it? Weird.

Can someone close this thread? Seriously, if you've got a problem with Destiny stay away/contact manager/complain on his stream thread. This is getting ridiculous.

Haha, Destiny is awesome. He tweeted about this a while ago and it seems like not a single fuck was given over in his neck of the woods.

If you are not the minority, it might be hard to understand why there are such a big fuss.
let me get this story out to korea and let's see what they think.

Why does TL ban people like CombatEX and BigT, When Destiny does way more things that hurt our community..... makes no sense

Well it doesn't change the fact that he's a bad player and relies to hype just to get more viewers

Destiny isn't hurting the community. The community is hurting the community and its pretty obvious.

You are a disgusting sinner in the eyes of god Steven "Destiny" Bonnell. I hope you sleep every night knowing you are first in line for a spot in hell you sack of shit. As someone who is a devout Christian himself, I would just like to point out his post count. Do not think this guy represent's Christians.... Disregarding peoples arguments based off their postcount doesn't make you more relevant either.
It doesn't give his claim against Destiny's morals based on his personal views in respect to religion. He shouldn't be able to condemn someone to hell anymore than Destiny can act out on his stream, imo.
I think the ChristianGamer post was trying to incite even more drama.

The argument you make: "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."
His stream is his personal stream and there's warnings about his language. Don't like it, don't watch. A personal slur in a ladder game is a matter for the Blizzard report team.
To reiterate: I don't think you can expect the type of `professional' behaviour you mean from someone either A) operating in the capacity of the host of his own entertainment show that you are warned about and don't have to watch, or B) Playing a ladder game on the internet.
That said, going to the team to say you think the guy is a jerk and that that could adversely affect your opinion of the team as a whole is well within your rights, and if you feel like you want to then go ahead. But I wouldn't be telling them what you think Destiny can and can't do, since he hasn't done anything unprofessional in my opinion, he's just not a likeable person.

There were people defending Orb as well. And the level of offense associated with "nigger" is a lot greater than "gook" for us westerners, that's why Orb's situation is considered a lot worse, even though both are "racial slurs".
I think the OP is a butthurt little whiner though, and someone who always disliked Destiny, and he finally got something "legitimate" to complain about.

I 100% do not. The point of my post is that we probably should censor groups like those. Show nested quote +This point of veiw is unlogical, hypocritical, and generally bad for all of humanity. This means that sensorship because one dissagrees is OK, and just because it was expressed by someone that sounds reasonable, doesn't mean it's anythingthing but drivel. IDo people really not understand that racism is not an opinion and it's not a "point of view?" There's no argument to be made for it. There's no logic. And people who cling to it are by definition abandoning logic. It is just plain evil.
It is a point of view. It doesn't matter how much you dissagree with it, or how obviously illogical it is, it still should not be sensored.

When Quantic took on Destiny they knew 100% what they were getting into and Destiny was not going to change who he was. EG on the other hand, did not.

I think the Orb case is a precedent of what the community must not do. Witchhunts like that are not going to grow Esports. A small talk with the one making the BM will solve everything. We don't need to go to his "daddy" (sponsors) and call him out for a beating.
Destiny is a professional troll, if you can't take it don't watch it. Calling sponsors is not right.

This must the best post in the whole thread. Thank you man. Couldent have said it better myself.

Hah!
I was watching Destiny's stream when this happened and I KNEW someone on here was going to make a thread crying about it. Is it like the "thing" to be offended around here? Emailing sponsors? 70 pages? Give me a break.
OP: Yeah, Destiny shouldn't have called you a gook, but you definitely are a big baby.
