Gotcha.
lol
He's saying it's not okay to be bigoted--but the backlash would be less severe because western society is more homophobic than racist. It's not that he thinks there should be less punishment, he's saying that society would be less likely to be upset since the US is very homophobic and so they are more likely to be okay with homophobic behavior.

It's not unlikely that when somebody point out some weakness of my solutions to a problem, I respond with a gentle faggot. More likely when I'm still right.
Maturity is not defined by your langage, but by the awareness you have. The ability you have to understand what somebody really means, the ability to put your attention where is matters. In a way, it's like when we says, Masters know how much they sucks at the game. For me, in term of mind awareness, you seems like a bronzie, unable to understand what I say.

His initial posts came across as homophobic to some degree. I was using his posts as a means to demonstrate my point. Thanks for missing it.

Was there ever a response to why Destiny's stream was unlisted, where Idra's was not?
http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=220441
Idra's stream will still be listed in the stream section. Our stream list is an informational resource much like the TLPD, Calendar, or Liquipedia. We believe for these resources to function properly, they must be comprehensive and complete and thus we do not remove banned pro players from them.

It was earlier in the thread, Desinty was unlisted for the way he spoke to one of the TL mods, not because of this issue.

Some people still have a free mind, yet... Acting professionally means acting within acceptable limits, regardless of whether or not you agree with them. I don't know your job but I would guess you don't work in a public setting or at least don't yell abuse in front of your customers. However Destiny was a very, very public representative of Quantic and Razer. I'm a scientist. If I go to a conference and think someone's research is stupid then I might talk to them about it and point out where I disagree. But if I turn around and call them a fucking retard then I'd be in trouble with my boss because I'm there representing my employer and my research sponsor.
I've seen far too much conference and Ph.D defense to disagree when you say you can't clearly insinuate someone is stupid in front of everyone, and stay untouched by that.
Acting professionlly means acting within acceptable limits, the problem is that we probably have not set the limits at the same point.
Stating that has the same public significancy that the CEO of Quantic (for what is worth) or Razer in front of a press conference is really far fetch. Even in this case, I bet you that the customers really don't watch that and by their products only for their products, not for the personnality of their CEO, and even less from the one of Destiny... You should stop thinking that the world is lead by esport. lol.

Rofl. You compare swearing in general with calling someone "gook"?
And since you work at such a tolerant and famous IT-company, lets hear the name of that IT-company. And lets send a mail asking them if it is accetable that you call people "gook" at your work place to people doing a better job than you, shall we?
It's easy to hide behind a keyboard and computer screen and pretend that it's all jolly and good at your work place without actually giving any information.
Now give me the name of the company you work at, I will send them an e-mail and then post the response here at TL, fair enough?

Just stop citing common mass mob social behavior as a law of nature that we all have to follow. Some people still have a free mind, yet... Destiny was not attacked for swearing, he was attacked for being racist. He wasn't fired for saying fuck, he was fired for saying gook in a tone where he believed the opponent was undeserving and in doing so made the idea that being undeserving of your accomplishments is the same as being Asian. (Which is racist) It has nothing to do with whether or not he was being offensive. This kind of thing that you defined as racist actions really aren't. I think you should study again some history to see what actual racism is. It's not with this kind of behavior that we will go back to these dark dark ages. Furthermore, it seems really far fetch to judge somebody philosophy over insults on a game. Remember, if you are to quick to judge somebody, most likely wrongly, somebody will do the same do you. So in the system of value, I hope that you are really really cautious. Personally I know I don't want to live in this system of though. 21th century...
There is no judging, merely observing and defining. He acted racist--should we care? Probably not. But enough people do that it seems relevant to have an opinion either or. But simply because it doesn't seem offensive or serious doesn't mean it stops being racist.
Slave owners used to think that what they were doing was actually for the benefit of black slaves in america. Shelter, a job, food, etc... There were many who thought it was the right thing. Even the Nazi's thought they were bettering the world by getting rid of the main threat of civilization. How much you "mean it" doesn't really matter. That you did it is what matters.

That's a double standard on the part of TL, especially when their own mod was acting just as out of line as Destiny was.

Can you explain how my posts came across as homophobic when the first thing i said about "faggot" was that warden was using it in a non-homophobic context, and then explaining that most people don't use it in a homophobic context anymore? Seems like you're just trying to bait out angry responses from people.

Well done everyone. Making a player many people love leave a team that supported him simply because you were too thick to go watch another stream. I'm not really a Destiny fan at all but this is ridiculous. Congrats everyone

So, when idra rages and insults the other player it's fine, he's not a bad guy behind the scenes, but when it's destiny it's a shame just because he used a "racist" word?
Don't get me wrong, racism shouldn't be allowed, but we're all humans, and we all got our temper, and using the ban-hammer and emailing the sponsors thus hurting the whole community on the behave of a single player is short minded. Destiny doesn't say it cause he lost his temper once or twice in the heat of the moment. He says it, defends it afterwards and refuses to apologize. There's quite the difference. It's intentional and without discretion. And yes, there is a big difference between just generic insults and racism, although I think any sponsored player would be wise not to rage at people. If you get mad from destiny calling you a nigger, you are taking language too seriously since its not actually racist and you need to desensitize yourself to this stuff; if you are offended you are weak If you don't get mad from destiny calling you a nigger, it shows that he is right and his philosophy is working and that he is spearheading the movement to "take the word back" to make nigger a general insult that won't offend black people anymore lose-lose
Again, I've said in lots of posts that arguing the merits of whether or not words should be offensive is completely irrelevant. And I have nothing personally against Destiny. People just can't be doing this stuff if you want sponsorships and "esports" to grow. It's just not tenable. Whether or not you agree is your own decision, but if people are on a team, they have no choice.
