Asians do not find the work "gook" offensive.. infact most would probably look at you with a "huh?" expression. Koreans might.. but there is more than just Koreans in Asia. Gook comes from Hanguk which is the Korean language word for Korea. | ||

Although I am very leery of Quantic since they continue to allow this behavior. Seriously Quantic, get him under control or I will actually start complaining...even if I'm the only one. But his not driving a racist agenda in my opinion i have been watching him and my stand on black or asians havent changed at all. its a word, he uses faggot more, i heard him say black man today for example its just his style when he gets mad. | ||

But he adds on top of his rage with lowering his opponent to a non-human slur that degrades asian people. That is the problem here. I understand that racism is here well and alive in 2012 all around the world. However, better people, especially professional SC2 players need to get over their tribal instincts and just be chill with other cultures. Why the fuck is it ok to call someone a faggot but not a racial slur? Oh, it's not. He needs to quit doing both. | ||

I do not understand the purpose of this thread unless you were massively offended by him, if so, just blacklist him and get on with your life. Destiny streams for a living - trying to denounce him like this is tantimount to standing up at work and shouting about how one of your colleagues has done something naughty and should be punished. If someone at my work (or really any work) stood up and called someone else a fucking gook, they would be fired. Almost immediately. | ||

1) Find something you find offensive 2) Post a thread saying that while you're not offended by it, it's offensive 3) Collectively boycott person 4) When the majority of people are boycotting this person, switch sides and say they are being too harsh 5) Listen to Neutral Milk Hotel at Starbucks | ||

Can we stop complaining about double standards in the community when we use them in regard to offensive language itself? Thanks. Seriously though, is there any particular reason people are bringing up Destiny yet again, after more than year of exactly the same behavior? It seems like a simple excuse to incite drama. | ||

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". In the nicest way possible... try reading a book or something. Maybe.. just maybe the ignorance will recede from your mind and we will have one less unintelligent human being we will have to deal with. It's funny that you call him unintelligent and ignorant when only his argument makes logical sense and yours rely on "he's entertaining." Calling another obviously Asian person (his name) a gook is unambiguously racist and your eating a cracker thing was one of the worst examples I've ever seen, whether you're offended or not does not invalidate Silvertine's argument. Now whether I actually give a fuck and think he should be punished? No. | ||

So what's the justification for "gook" being a racial slur? Is it like saying that all Asians are the same, or something? | ||

And that doesn't excuse him, feel free to think he's an idiot if you want to. But it is his goal to be entertaining and he does this by not censoring his thoughts and that includes spewing out bad language if he's frustrated. He's not a racist, but uses those words as if they were any other non race specific curse word. If you are of Asian descent and you feel deeply offended by Destiny's language... well... you shouldn't be. It's no different from a 7 year old calling you a poopyface, you should not be placing a lot of value on what he says. It is your choice on whether you find his antics entertaining or too lowbrow for your tastes. And there's nothing wrong with posting a thread like this. But I do believe that some people are overreacting and are treating this like a criminal offense by a true racist. | ||
