Remember that for this to work many people have to get worked up, and that's not going to happen over nothing. Look at IdrA. Dude's got more haters than Destiny for sure, and he's still in EG. I wouldn't say tiny fuckup, and not "destroyed". But commit something as serious as this and yeah there should be consequences. To reply maybe Razer isnt okay with this type of language, but large corporate sponsors dont care about the communities ethics. They care about money and big name corporations are the type of sponsors sc2 needs if its ever going to get anywhere. | ||

I think most also realize it's highly unlikely that's going to happen- EG has talked to IdrA for saying much less offensive things, and both teams like to view themselves as professional, especially Liquid, they're known for having good AND manner players. | ||

Gaming "communities" will always be full of foul language because that's what gaming causes, I've screamed nigger, faggot and all other kinds of words at my computer scream when losing on a tilt, it doesn't mean I'm racist. It seems like people are forgetting what we're even supposed to be doing here; having fun. This isn't a work place nor an intellectual forum, we play a game and discuss it. But now it's all about slandering the people playing it for faulting like everyone else does. If you are screaming at your computer screen while launching obscenities at it, then i question how much fun you are really having. There is something disturbing that people see this as entertainment, i wonder how entertaining it would be if someone called your mother or sister a whore, would just stand there and chuckle? LMAO LOLZ? Because i bet the tone would be very different all of a sudden, no longer is it lulzy i bet? | ||

Althoug the dude you temped for using all caps may be a little harsh. (Is this not the right place?)

And those corporations will be much more afraid of a shitstorm than Razer will be. At the point those kinds of companies are involved I'd expect eSports to be much more self regulated anyway, and crack down on stuff like this. | ||

Do you think any destiny supporters took the time (or had the capacity) to write a well written email to Quantic or the sponsors about how much they enjoyed watching his stream and how much they appreciate the support he was getting? I highly doubt it. | ||

It's not 1 time. Not that that matters. Look at pro sports organizations. Use one racial swear and see if you're not fined thousands. also, you gaming by yourself and a public figure broadcasting his games are two separate things. This isn't a pro sports organization, this is a pathetic utopia of nerds who doesn't have anything better to do and Quantic is merely a small computer game organization. And yes I tune in to Destiny quite often, and I can honestly say that I've heard him say something "unacceptable" once or twice. Now that's just my experience but what the flying fuck does that matter when 20 people have nothing better to do than inflict unnecessary damage to an already bleeding community. And my example of gaming by myself was to justify his rage because it's a natural thing when gaming, if you can't restrain it you're not human. Goddamn you bore me, do you get offended when Family Guy makes a joke about rape too? People are too easily offended these days, grow some balls and backbones you weak nerds. | ||

I think you should just say average internet folk since there's still the chunk of destiny supporters who don't use such language but feel harassed since we get stereotyped into that group. | ||

For example I disagree with this, there is already warning 'This stream contains explicit language.' which should 'protect' anyone who wants to not be offended. Actually I really feel sad for anyone to be unlisted even if they deserve that sometimes. Don't forget its also hurting people who wants to watch their favorite players. Censorship like this scares me big time :S | ||

I already made my statement on reddit: Going to respond to my comments about me in the OP. This is actually my 2nd post on reddit and I only got on because someone told me my PM was presented. I used the word "retard" more because I was ignorant of its offensive nature than because I wanted to offend anyone. I'll be more careful not to use such language in the future and I apologize if I offended anyone.. I was also directing one of Destiny's supporters in PRIVATE message to where he could air his grievances, which explains where the screenshot came from. | ||

Yeah there are some of those, but then there are those that try to get IdrA off of EG as well and nothing happens there. I think far more people saw what he wrote/has been writing and saying and got sick of it. I don't watch Destiny because I know he isn't for me. I didn't personally write in but I support those who did, because I don't believe that behavior should be tolerated anywhere. You can't do much about it on XBL or in-game, but if you can hold someone accountable I think you should. | ||

I don't know why you think your the shit, but in the end, it's performance results, sportsmanlike attitude (arrogant or humble), hard work, that makes you respected in this community and sport. Sure you might have fans now because your a US foreigner, but in the end your crappy attitude will bite you back, and you will become irrelevant, if you don't change | ||

Well, you did temp ban both sides who go overboard in this thread. And we should already know that TL doesn't tolerate profanity and racial slurs and hate messages. | ||
