EPTGood for him, he's free of that obligation now and he can say whatever he wants. Anytime you are a community figure, whether you want to be or not, your actions and words represent something larger than yourself. If you don't want this responsibility, stop doing things that will highlight yourself publicly and you'll lose people's interest (especially when you're an average player in the case of SC2). Fame comes with a higher standard...it doesn't matter if it's e-fame in a small community or global fame. People don't get away with stuff like this in the real world...there's no reason a double standard should exist because it's the internet.

That community is eerily self-righteous considering the whole /jailbait thing. If you are so childish that you can't keep from lashing out at people like this ^. Then you really need to learn to take a deep breath and think about what you are going to post before you post it. If you are not mature enough to respect the people you are talking to , then don't expect any respect back. This could be said of the entire destiny 'situation'. He got what he asked for. | ||

ESports took a huge step back with this and the orb incident. The community waves their dick around and ruins companies' stability to spite people. That is a lot worse than a community that trash talks everyone, because you're destroying things that took sweat and tears to build with a single incident of a mostly irrelevent person. I don't intend to justify the behavior of orb or Destiny in any way, but I do mean to villify the pretty disgusting and self-destructive behavior this community responds with. It's honestly a lot more cancerous than just being immature, because like I said, you destroy things you had no participation in building over things that are extremely petty. You, being, people who think it is actually worth it to ruin Quantic over Destiny's behavior when Quantic has a lot more on their plate than Destiny. | ||

Quantic didn't and won't go down because of this- Razer realizes that Quantic and Destiny are 2 separate things, and Quantic took action. Razer isn't going to see this and go, well I'll just drop support anyway, that would be stupid on their part- imagine the backlash that would have. On May 04 2012 16:16 Bear4188 wrote: His "career" is to stream his ridiculous tirades for people on own3d, it has nothing to do with his Quantic sponsorship and he'll be able to make money just fine. Now legitimate players like SaSe won't be associated with someone who calls people gook for laughs so maybe the real players will have a better chance at getting better sponsorships. Yeah Destiny even admitted himself that being dropped from Quantic doesn't really affect him at all, and all the sponsorship complaint thing is doing is hurting other, less popular players on Quantic. Not sad to see him go tbh. Have never been a huge fan, and although I recognize him as a popular streamer I don't think that that should be enough to get you a spot on a progaming team. (People will say he was also a good player, but there are plenty of those that aren't sponsored). | ||

I hope he get's re-featured when his ban is over. Whether you like him or not he's a freaking part of this "community" (ie, he's been on SOTG, he's in TL interviews, he goes to tournaments etcetcetc) so can we just go back to the good old days and let him provide great content for the community such as streaming hilarious games with Mothafkn Chad jones? ♥ | ||

The entertainment is suppose to be this game, getting to know the community which spans people all over the world. Watching tournaments, learning new strats. | ||

Lol @ random TL kids pretending siding with orb and destiny is akin to some kind of civil rights crusade. Hope teams continue to crack down on immature, useless, uncreative and frankly embarrassing speech. | ||

The people who find public use of racial slurs unacceptable ruined his career. So what? This is the internet and Destiny's stream is a show that is offered to you. If you don't like what you see, simply turn off the stream and move on with your life. I, for one, am a fan of his stream and after watching him for a while, it should be easy to see that his ''slurs'' or BM is not really what he thinks and he does it simply because it is the internet and there is an audience for that. If I would listen to you guys, South Park should be banned because it features racial slurs, homophobic slurs and abusive language? If you don't enjoy what you see, turn it off and deal with it. | ||

He is a true person, he acts himself and doesnt lie or cover up his actions *cough*orb*cough* There is a reason why alot of us watch him, he literally brings alot of fun and enjoyment to starcraft where it really is missing for a big casual base. He is a entertainer, and a damn good one at it too. | ||

And Destiny just showing how childish he can be with those links and telling people to actually contact these sponsors (some crazy people will now). I don't care about him or what he does but now he is just trying to cause extra drama. | ||

The mob has tasted power and will abuse it. For those that actually wrote to sponsors for this and that Orb thing, did you ever wrote anything to the sponsors outside of these lynch campaigns? Why not? Wouldn't positive thank you emails contribute far more than throwing one of us under the bus each month? Yeah, true that, this kinda sux, stuff like this is silly so silly seriously. GL Destiny, not a fan of yours, but still. | ||
