EPTI won't argue because I think everything that could be said on this matter has already been said. I'm gonna just trust Destiny and says this decision won't hurt Quantic and Destiny badly.

Damn, it must be nice to be a white heterosexual male! | ||

This freedom of speech crap needs to end, too. Nobody is denying him his right to spout stupid shit on his stream. | ||

Nobody on TL nor from most of the sponsors will give a shit if someone says shit or fuck or asshole or any of the other vanilla curses. No one cares about them because using them only applies to whomever they're targeted at, there's no group of people in the world that has been systematically demeaned and disenfranchised by people calling them assholes. The difference with words like nigger and faggot is that using them in a derogatory fashion is meant to demean the target AND an entire group of people together with one word. That's why these words are used by "real" racists and why they're not okay for use by people who want to be taken seriously. So everyone using "nigger" is OK so long that they just use it as a general insult and everyone should try to forget that "nigger" is/was actually a derogatory term for black people. So it must be particularly OK if white people just keep calling everything bad "nigger" because they aren't affecting black people at all -- if black people are offended, then they should try to UNDERSTAND that white people are not trying to be offensive and just using "nigger" as a general insult to everything and everybody. Or if you're a smart politician, you start calling things "niggardly", that seems to be cool too. Black people should really try and understand white people when they use the word "nigger", it's really bad communication and they should not actually be upset at all! | ||

Idra has regularly and unrelentingly used the word "faggot". I've personally contacted EG's sponsors about this. Their CEO claims he has spoken to Idra about it. | ||

Not only do you not know how to spell "racist", you clearly do not understand what racism is. I said it was unacceptable and to me that is also something where an apology should have been issued. People make mistakes all the time in using this language. But it was Destiny's follow up that really infuriated me. | ||

In all seriousness though, I look forward to more from the Reddit/TL PC movement, this is endlessly entertaining. One has to wonder whether people on /r/starcraft even have time to watch or play the game at this point, with all the important drama they have to attend to. Next thing you know, we'll have youtube videos of random people defending/condemning Destiny. Oh, wait, that's what we have SotG and ItG for. Can't wait to hear Idra's opinion on this. Wonder how many angry e-mails it would take for EG to care about his ladder BM, anyway. | ||

People who email sponsors don't give the least shit about racism, they just don't like Destiny. They just emailed sponsors because they finally have an excuse to try and fuck Destiny. | ||
