Considering the mass amounts of posts about "GG"ing I think casually making down syndrom jokes, and lynching jokes was worthy of discussion. Obviously there are a lot of people who think not GGing is a bigger disrespect than making racially or blatently disrespectful statements and jokes. | ||

Without going to intensive detail, I noticed, and it seemed others noticed that the casters of the restream of SPL Opening day have been making references to "lynching" and mentioned how they couldn't distinguish who a player was because "they are all Korean" and several other racial slights, slurs, and blatent disrespect. Rather than try to go Professor X and trying to speculate on how people could be so ignorant or disrespectful I decided someone needed to say something and when I mentioned it in chat I got temp banned so I came here. I understand we all have off nights and they are 12+ hours into casting but seriously we as a community can't allow people to feel comfortable using language like was being used during this cast. If I am just being overly sensative I'd be willing to hear how what they have been saying is ok... I understand when people grow up in a homogenous suburban semi-private school where there are little to no minorities and/or none of them are friends, they might think language like what was used during this Sayle/Pokebunny cast was ok. Just so it is said when you are attempting to appeal to people who don't know you, language like that in my opinion is simply unacceptable. People don't know you, so they don't know if the racial epithets you toss about are jokes, serious, or a result of intense ignorance Yo, get a life bro. As in seriously... | ||

YOU CHOOSE to watch someones stream if you dont like what they are saying mute the damn thing or close out of it. Just because someone says something offensive every once and while doesn't warrant a thread about it. I make jokes all the time and sometimes yes i might cross the line but most of the time it is just that a joke. Lets be serious here and stop makings stupid threads like these. | ||

Can you tell us what they were saying specifically? People love to take things the wrong way, or more likely in your case, exaggerate them.

If the casters wanted to spread racial hatred, they're really doing a terrible job. These guys (Sayle, etc) absolutely love racial diversity, if you ask me. Policing for word selection is an ineffective and ignorant way to fight racism. Try to replace the word "racism" with "racial hatred" and see if your argument still makes sense. If there was any racial hatred involved, your post would make a lot more sense to me. I think there's a certain gird for drama involved here, where no drama existed to begin with. | ||

Grow a pair of BALLS seriously, like WTF? like no really WTF? are you kidding me? If your gonna get so offended by players casting why dont you just shut it off or just mute it instead of making a thread about the things they say, use some common sense instead of posting stupid shit like this seriously. Sick of posters on Teamliquid that cant be mature enough with just learning to use some COMMON SENSE and just shutting off the stream or just picking another one or just MUTING.. but make a thread about something thats so senseless and RETARDED yeah you are over sensitive and its frustrating that people like you make THREADS on every LITTLE thing possible just because you feel lonely and want something to discuss about dont be bringing up idiotic topics.. like am i the only one who gets angered by DUMB people with stupid questions? Like WTF? seriously people on these boards are probably average of 20 yrs old but act like there 12 go watch Leagues of legends if your gonna cry about every little thing SC2 does like.......... SHIT quit trying to ruin the community with stupid ass threads like this one /vent | ||

It was definately PokeBunny who was making way worse comments. Sayle realizes when what might be funny to him and his friends might not be recieved the same way by people watching him or KESPA for the first time and self edits. Pokebunny would just say somthing totally off color than just say im just kidding... Just doesn't work like that | ||

How are people able to tell you if you're "overly sensative" or if that language is "simply unacceptable"? | ||

This too. @OP, apart from whether you have a point or not, these aren't "the SPL opening day casters," they're just guys in the community restreaming with English commentary for our benefit. Also, "I find Pokebunny's humor distasteful" does not equal a "caster controversy" in my book. | ||
