If the original poster really got offended over what some one on the internet said to him, he needs to take a step back and examine his life. The problem isn't with Destiny, it's with him. You are comparing crying to racial slurs? On what planet are we on? What is going on here?? "Got called a a gook/fag/nigger? Well too bad, go examine your life, its your problem!" Do you understand just how utterly insane that sounds? Someone can come up and call your mother a whore, and then straight up tell you that its your and your moms problem, not his. He is a fine individual, purely expressing his emotions, calling a woman a whore is just as normal as crying, eating and sleeping. For the love of god what is going on in this thread!!!? | ||

Orb is fired for doing same thing as Destiny I don't think Orb was fired by Teamliquid, so there's no double standard implied in your post. I mean the reponse of the community, especially from reddit, is a double standard, simply because they like destiny more, and that makes it ok for him to use ratial slurs. | ||

Those of us who think this kind of behavior should not be tolerated are not arguing with people who are okay with it. Most of the people who are offended would turn to Destiny for an explanation. And Destiny said he doesn't give a fuck. So, if people are still offended and not persuaded by the offenders' justification/response/apology, it is within their power to pursue this as they wish. However, most of the people who are okay with this behavior are just arguing through ad hominems, or trying to prove that being offended by this behavior is a sign of no-lifers. If you are okay with it, how about trying to understand that some people genuinely have a problem with this kind of language in general, or this kind of language in starcraft II as an e-sports in particular. You don't really help the situation by saying "ur trying to fuck destiny in the ass," or by saying "you are blowing this out of proportion." Whose proportion are you talking about? Ideas, beliefs, and worldviews are all subjective. You do not have the monopoly over the "right" way of doing/hearing/understanding/accepting things. | ||

I don't think it really matters if he's a "true racist" or not. I think spreading a hateful message resounds with his large fanbase and can do no good for the community. I'm not a stream watcher myself, but I can imagine that many young minds are being molded by destiny and I would like to see him take the role he's in (weather he like it or not) responsibly. You can be 'controversial' and 'edgy' without being racist. The people who fired Orb are different than whomever Destiny may or may not answer to. I'm not sure what this has to do with anything. Orb =/= Destiny. Its not destiny's job to watch what he says because a kid might look up to him. It's the parents job to make sure the kid isn't being influenced by what they percieve to be bad influences. When i was growing up i wasn't allowed to watch the simpsons...and i never did my parents made sure of that. Is it harder to filter what your kid sees nowadays, yes. But its still up to the parents to do it. Thats the responsibilty you take on when you have a kid | ||

I thought that was established long ago. Are you fucking serious? In that case, Quantic deserves to lose all sponsorships. That's disgusting. | ||

If the original poster really got offended over what some one on the internet said to him, he needs to take a step back and examine his life. The problem isn't with Destiny, it's with him. No for 2 reasons: 1) MKP with his head in his arms is his own PERSONAL emotion. He's not directing it at people, he's not dragging other people into the fact that he lost. He's upset at himself, not raging at his opponent. 2) If I was playing Destiny and I got called a nigger or a gook, I'd take some amount of offense at least. If I was playing MKP and after the match he had a little cry, that's not offensive to anyone. There's a difference between expressing emotion, being mad or sad that you lost, being pissed at a cheese tactic etc, and raging/flaming/spouting racial slurs at your opponents. | ||

You don't have to take them that way, the words are being used because they're horrible slurs for a certain group of people. You can swear up and down that you don't mean it in that way, but you chose that word for a reason. Words like nigger and faggot didn't always carry power as vehicles of racism. But I think they will for a long time in the future so long as people refuse to accept that they are used in other senses. | ||
