if that's what i deserve i'll take it, i won't go to reddit, i won't go to my twitter, i won't want people to rage about double standards or inconsistency or the killing of esports. what i said is just my opinion on the prominence of the man in the community and the return on investment he produced for quantic. you rarely see him on any broadcast except his own, he doesnt post results in competition, all that is ever produced from his actions is needless drama.

I don't really understand why people are defending Destiny given that his attitude over most of his controversial stuff has been "I do what I want". I don't think he ever didn't understand what the consequences might be, he just said that he didn't care. He doesn't really have anyone to blame but himself. Sensitive people will be sensitive, and some people will go further than others to rectify their perceived wrongs.

I think 95% of his BM is pretty funny, but if you're going to try to be edgier and more controversial, I think you also need to think about risk management. And honestly his risk management boiled down to "stfu I do what I want". Well, that's fine, but just don't expect that to be fine forever.

And yes, it IS indeed more professional to NOT be like that. Entertainers, athletes, politicians, anyone in the public eye is held to similar standards.

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.

Am i the only person that finds it fucking pathetic that people run to sponsors if they don't like a player? Like seriously GROW THE FUCK UP. This community becomes more of a joke by the day, the sad part is that the people that complain about him or anyone dropping the "N" bomb are WASPS who is a friend of a friend of a friend of a black dude, and crosses the street the second they see a black guy walking towards them.

Do i agree with a lot of what destiny says on stream .... not always, but i do find a lot of it fucking hilarious and i respect the fact that he's always honest with himself and his stream. People also bitch about professionalism .... really? Professionalism in a scene composed of 12-25 year olds playing video games? Get real, what one does on his stream outside of a tournament at home while not wearing a team shirt or representing sponsors is fair game. A lot of you need to get exposed to a solid dose of reality.

Pathetic.

People havent realized that this is all an elaborate plot by the TL mafia forum to get sc2 community figures lynched. we should actually be trying to find the scum. Were all being misled!

I honestly think you're misinformed which is a polite way of saying stupid.Destiny was the most prolific streamer on Quantic and one of the most prolific sc2 streamers.

'you rarely see him on any broadcast except his own'
Which only runs for 8 hours and produces more money than anyone from Quantic.What blind hate can do to a man...

Props to destiny for being so Professional. Sad to see him leave Quantic. Sad to see all this drama get blown so far out of proportion. I suppose this is why it's so hard to have nice things.

Because the cult of personality is a strong thing for some people. They don't understand why many people in the community think that his actions can be extremely damaging and that's why we contacted the team/sponsors.
