I emailed Razer b/c I'm tired of this shit. Arguing on an internet forum with those who think it's ok to call people faggots and niggers is the epitome of pointless. Yah man, you are right. | ||

SC is already one of the most mannered gaming communities out there, a few bad eggs is hardly going to change that. And yet, Destiny still averages around 4-5k viewers, and IdrA around 9-10k I think? Obviously people are still watching and supporting them more than most other streamers, so I don't see what the big deal is. | ||

The argument that words dont hurt only the meaning of how they are said is a joke and he doesnt live in the real world. He lives in some fantasy land where everything is ok and he won't change. He doesn't care and never will. You basically called him autistic. What are your sponsors? User was banned for this post. | ||

If it was just saying something inappropriate while frustrated it wouldn't be as big a deal. It would still be unacceptable, but this thread wouldn't be 70+ pages. Remember the orb situation only got bad when he tried to pretend that it wasn't him that said it. He tried to dodge responsibility for his actions and got axed for it. In this case, it's not necessarily that Destiny called the guy a "gook" it's that he sees nothing wrong with his actions and treats it like a joke. | ||

Also, anyone who emailed the sponsors negatively is a disgrace to the community and are literally trying to kill esports, they should be banned, and anyone posting directions on how to email the sponsors should be permabanned. User was temp banned for this post. User was warned for this post Your post is so out of line that I hope you are joking. You can't shut down any form of dissent just to preserve some vague, sacred notion of "esports". If there's a problem, it has to be addressed, not swept under the rug. Personally, I don't get offended by these types of things but I do like Warden, he's a good guy, and his points aren't unreasonable. | ||

Although I'm not saying it's right, Quantic knew Destiny's way of playing the game, and how he acted through BM'ing others. He gets upset and says things, like everybody else. I'm sure you can find those VODs around on youtube somewhere and that'll shed some light on what I'm talking about. Btw I <3 Destiny. | ||

Using racist terms usually doesn't even mean you're a racist by the internet's standard. I feel really sorry for you if you were offended by being called a 'gook' because you cheesed him out of a video game, the real world must be really rough for you. I laughed. Your statement would probably be more accurate if you replaced the word act with speaks. Example: "He should be able to murder people, how dare someone try to stop him!" Of course people are expected to act a certain way. Language is a different issue entirely. There are certain places where you don't use certain language (school, church, work, etc). Someone might be able to loosely argue that Destiny was at his 'work place', but you'd be grasping at straws for the most part. The difference is that if you kill someone you are violating someone else's right to live. He's got a right say what he wants just like you have a right to not tune in. This really has a simple solution, if you are offended by what goes on during his stream then don't tune in and vote with your 1 viewership. | ||

I'm starting to think that NonY was right when he said we appreciate the drama more than we appreciate the game. The fact that there is always ~3,000 viewers for his stream, even though he is a low/mid-tier pro at best, is a testament to the fact that some people actually like his crude brand of humor. Let them have it. This exactly. I always thought it was funny how some of these streamers that are top tier players get less then 1k viewers. Look at Axslav for example. He isn't top tier just yet, but he's getting there. He explains exactly why he is doing things, why he lost and what exactly he is scouting/looking for and how exactly he plans on countering it. He is probably one of the more influential players out there for Protoss players. But now how many viewers does he get? I don't think I've ever seen him get over 1k viewers. Which is a shame since he is one of the better streamers out there. | ||

Let's remember again, these are words, don't watch the stream with the language warning symbol if words bother you. | ||
