Unless you email razer every time you buy something, and tell them that a big reason you bought it is because of him, that really isn't true at all. They sell millions of products all over the world. The don't know who buys what and why. I buy plenty of razer products. I have a mouse, mousepad, headset, and earbuds. None of them were bought because of Destiny. Me buying these products did not support him in any way. (No idea who his sponsors are, just an example).

I covered this in my post earlier. If you like a product, then don't let someone you disagree with or are offended by limit your ability to be happy, and buy the product. Razer supported other players, not just Destiny. By not watching his stream, you take money out of his pocket. By buying a Razer mouse that you want, for example, you put some money in his pocket, sure, but you also supported the community as a whole and other players on Quantic.

The difference is that a woman has a right to wear what clothes she will withing the constraints of local laws without fear of being raped. People DO NOT have a right to not be offended.

Also, I think using the word "victim" in this case is a bit too strong, somebody called him a mean word. That's it, that is all that happened, he was called a mean word. He wasn't punched, kicked, hit, or in any other way assaulted. He wasn't denied equal employment opportunities, he wasn't denied entry to a school, he wasn't denied fair housing. He was called a mean word.

I mentioned this earlier, but gaming peripherals and input devices in general are a huge market with tons of brands selling very similar products. As such, the deciding factor may be as simple as what teams/player the company supports. I wouldn't send an email to them every time a picked up a product, but generally I purchase a set of components at once and probably wouldn't mind dropping a 3-4 line email giving the company a heads as to what prompted me to choose their products. That can really help the scene if companies know that these things are making a difference for them.

You seem to have no interest in actually dealing with the actual points being brought up. What's the course of action if you want to support Quantic and/or Razor but Destiny is the factor that prevents you. I feel like they wouldn't mind knowing, in fact I feel they'd prefer it over a number of people not buying their products when the fix was as simple as dropping/request a drop of a single player.

It's quite simply, "Act how I expect you to act or I won't pay you" from Razor and what the fuck is wrong with that? This is how employment works, this is how sponsorship works.

I'll be honest, I don't think there are too many people out there who were about to buy a new Blackwidow or Deathadder but stopped themselves, thinking "ugh I just can't do it, I'd be indirectly supporting some guy who said nigger on the internet".

But OK. Supposing this situation exists, it is now a problem that affects you personally, and you have the right to complain. You should direct your complaints to Quantic, expressing how inappropriate Destiny made you feel and that you can't support anything related to him in any way. I suppose you should avoid buying Razer products if that "eww I supported Destiny" feeling is too strong to overcome. If Quantic does nothing about it, then I suppose it would be appropriate to tell Razer how you feel.

However, this is not what happened for the majority (if not all) of the people who complained to Razer right away. It was simply a case of "fuck that guy, I'm going to get him in trouble".


I've said repeatedly that Quantic and Razer have every right to make reasonable requests of Destiny and terminate their deal if he refuses. But random TL forum members should have not have this same power.

Being brutally honest to the point where you say whatever random rubbish enters your mind at the time isn't a good thing. "Destiny" is incredibly contradictory and antagonistic, and half the stuff he comes out with is to his detriment. Being honest is a good quality; it takes a special someone to turn it into something distasteful, deplorable and embarrassing.


This is a good thing, it'll be a good day for the scene when he's gone completely.

The freedom of speech that is protected by laws in this country that allowed Destiny to say those words also allowed people the freedom to go complain to Quantic and Razer.

Reading this thread is bad for my health, but I can't help but to post. Everyone is making this something it isn't. So i've come from just being a forum leech that reads, and never contributes to post at least once in this thread.

I truly don't feel what Destiny did falls under rasism. He just used a word, he didn't spit in the guys face for being from a specific race (which i've actually been a victim of)! What he did was obviously wrong and bad manners, but IMHO not racism.

I don't feel like Destiny should have been kicked out of quantic. I think that's going too far. He should recieve some sort of punishment obviously, but to ruin his career (cause no team is going to pick him up). Is far worse of a crime then what he did.

I can't comment on how he got banned from the TL.net sidebar cause I don't know the full story, but it seems like he did do enough to deserve that one.

I can say I've watched destiny's stream before and I felt it was lacking, and a bit stale. However the time I did watch it he used adult language enough for me not to be surprised by something like this. If I'm not mistaken he did have a langauge advisory stamp in his stream thread. We're all guilty of using words that we shouldn't, but crucifying someone for it is even worse then what they did. Just my 2 cents!

Well back to Leeching bye!
