If you stage yourself to look like a scumbag does it really make sense to be offended when people see a scumbag? Can we just take a second here to find the logic in that, Seapologist? Even in the case that he DID stage this whole thing and everyone was in on it. Is it still not morally reprehensible to make the 99,9% that are not in on it believe that it is real? Or is it ok to make viewers believe anything you want them to believe and never be responsible for the consequences? The argument that BJs aren't responsible for the reality they present is ridiculous. The argument that everyone should have telepathically inferred that the scene was staged is ridiculous. Sea is possibly not guilty of assault and sexual harassment but he's definitely guilty of making people think he is. Acting like a victim when people go off the information you give them yourself is ridiculous and he would've done his image a big favor by admitting he was stupid and drunk and responsible for the following shitshow despite it all alledgedly being a hoax. | ||

Why are you assuming that the only kind of streaming is that cringey "do literally anything for money" bullshit that Sodapoppin and LegendaryLea do on Twitch and Terror is known for on Afreeca? There are so many other things you could be streaming without turning into a complete piece of shit, like, I don't know, gameplay of something maybe? hmmmmm...... I agree 100% with Creager's post in this quote chain. This kind of streaming draws attention which brings money. It would be stupid of him not to do it. | ||

I think if media portays the action from selected pool of images that they censor purposely to make it seem lot worse than it was, he has a lot of ground. but it doesnt help that his reputation as streamer isn't great as he has many drunk streams and wild streams. | ||

Andy Kaufman/Tony Clifton is a hero amongst the comic community for pouring broken egg shells and pouring egg batter all over Dinah Shore on live national US TV and then claiming it wasn't him. It may well have been his best friend Bob Zmuda... the world will never know. Dinah Shore may have been in on it the whole time....that didn't stop big tough guys like Merv Griffin though. Merv "defended her honour"... LOLz. for all we know this guy is a 21st century andy kaufman just beginning his career... and with every post you're playing the Merv Griffin role in this theatre of the absurd. u're getting trolled bro. | ||

he's really dumb and he easily confused and upset his viewers for no reason. but he didn't deserve to have some bored journalists create a sensationalist story out of dumb drunken antics with him and his friends. the ban from streaming seems reasonable. the expulsion from this ASL... the media's assassination of his character is awful. | ||

Personally, very surprised to see this reaction from people, based on what is shown/given information. Seen far WORSE things, and judging only on basis where i live, or grow up, i just couldnt see anything "criminal" about this, well, even tho there IS scenarios where this might be inturpreted as awful behavior etc. Well, shouldnt live stream being drunk anyway i guess, so in a sense of Afreeca "policy", ban is deserve i guess, sort of a mistake, from Sea. (edit, i mean from pictures/gifs, cant even tell if punch is "hard" or "fake" or what) (and for people who say that they would punch someone in a face, based on those GIFs, and kind of against "assault" and "violence", shame on you, lol) (i mean, its not good, but its not THAT bad, as people suggest, like he is criminal or something) | ||

If it's the former, the timing is rather unfortunate and he could've been given an exemption just for the qualifier (rescheduling his group would be accommodating him too much). If it's the latter (which is likelier), then it seems rather odd that the ban period wasn't longer (to be consistent with the gravity of the direct ASL DQ). I suppose ASL had to make a snap decision, especially since his qualifier match happens to be the first group. It's a tough spot to be in, either way they will be criticised whether they let him play or DQ him. It's a PR nightmare. | ||

I don't think acting like an idiot is ok but it's completely understandable why he does a drunk fun/crazy stream. He obviously crossed the line here though (Even if it was staged, he shouldn't show such behaviour to his viewers). Still the media outrage about this is ridicolous and completely out of line. | ||

Explain to me seas moral failing. As far as I know this outrage originates from Korea so while streams in Korea may be more "exotic" even to them it clearly hit a wrong nerve. Calling a drunk stream art is pushing the boundaries of intellectual dishonesty. It's also intellectually dishonest to defend staged deception as a legitimate streaming tactic yet criticize the media's misportrayal of said deception as an unlegitimate tactic. Expecting people to not assume the obvious is, again, intellectually dishonest. If you hear hoofstomps you think horses, not zebras. | ||

If it truly happened as Sea said, it would be a major fuckup by him, not the press. What the fuck did Sea expect (if the story is true), that it'd just be nice to get some new viewers? It'd be pretty fucked up and I personally don't believe his version of the story (even if the girl would corroborate it now). I also don't think it's nearly as bad as the battery and sexual assault accusations and the whole hang him mentality going around here however . Am repeating myself here though, so should stop replying to this topic. | ||
