So being a man means insulting and cursing as part of one's routine? ah good old testosterone. All about agressiveness, nothing about respect. No wonder we humans spent our lives fighting aggainst each other all the time.

Being a man is not Tattling on every little bad thing you hear.

I'm sort of curious, are people who emailed the sponsors happy with the result? Destiny will not change and will still use similar language and will be back in 30 days. Quantic loses a popular player. Razer is now wary of the dangers of being involved in eSports. (I think I might've been a bit biased in my judgement of what happen, feel free to add your own spin).

hi friends! just want to drop by and say a few non-threatening words. here's what i think: as an obviously intelligent human being, you must recognize that there is a nonzero amount of people in the world who may experience a nonzero amount of genuine negative emotion given certain stimuli. let's lowball it and say it's only this one single guy out of 7 billion of us with the shittiest luck in the birth lottery. the confluence of slight negative events due to his birthplace, upbringing, development, and education (in which he has no part in playing) primes his mind to associate specific english colloquialisms with a glare back in middle school, a little injustice that time at the store, or a comment by some douchebag. nothing big. yeah, he can just "get over it", but that's not quite how conditioning or pain works. it adds a grain to the pile of frustrations in his heart that all humans already have.

ultimately none of this matters. we're all gonna die, the sun's gonna go whoosh. this guy probably doesn't even watch destiny's stream. but still, in a meaningless world where for some fucked reason we can comprehend our own mortality, shouldn't the truly empathetic individual choose to spare as much unintended and unnecessary pain as possible?

you can still be funny, express extreme disgust, and let someone know exactly what you think of them.the english language is pretty sick at conveying crazy ideas. there are extremely good insults out there that don't imply you think you're better than someone because of the physical body your soul got randomly assigned to. again, not that it happens much but we all know it happens. it's a gross feeling, being judged as a result of some cosmic whim.

A nonentity in the community outside of his stream and small rabid fanbase, who has almost no exposure outside of his stream thanks to his lack of results, leaves his team via mutual decision by both sides and the SC2 community is being killed. SC2 is being transformed into an irrelevant esport with little ratings because a nonentity is no longer on the team he never did anything for anyway. Okay.

This is by far the best post so far, so I think I'll leave this doomed thread on a high note.

I'm only sad that we still have the veil of anonymity here, so twenty years from now when the people who are supporting Destiny "because of the person he is" want to have their opinions heard on relevant issues, I can point to this archive and explain where these opinions originate.

Being a featured streamer on TL is a privilege. Don't understand why this guy doesn't just go along happily making his thousands of dollars playing sc2 for a living. Just HAS to try to be controversial for the sake of being different. Hipsters these days.

At least in my country you don't see people of other sports publicly insulting or calling each other names. If that happens, and it surely does, it's off cameras. When it happens, which is rare, it's very bad for their image, because they come off as bad mannered people, which only hurts them, and for sure doesn't help any point they're trying to make. We live in society, a minimum respect for each other, specially publicly for those that are public role model figures, is important. Otherwise this would be a jungle. I don't get how people can't think the same in this case.

It's a shame that all this passion and energy isn't directed toward something that actually matters. Good grief.
