too bad, I very much enjoyed Cella and Phoenix's Streams, They are Very good!, hwoever i'm sure those two will have no problem finding a new home, it is some of the lesser known player who this will be the Hardest on. I was hoping/expecting phoenix would go farther in the gsl2 as well Too bad... Gl to all the former-werra members

Yeah, lets give him credit for being such a stand up member of society that he'll only rape sleeping people, he'll back off if they wake up. What a great guy, why don't we give him the nobel peace prize for his efforts.

Korean journalism can be pretty funny. An article was posted today that pretty much said:

"It is all Blizzard's fault on how Clan WeRRa disbanded."

An e-sports related personnel said, "It was kind of expected. With the way Blizzard is forcing young, innocent kids into competing for the 1st place money, some of them might go down a wrong path."


Seriously?

You're right about that statistic being inaccurate. Your assumption is that all men who molest male children are homosexuals. This is not the case. There are a number of reasons the abuse happens, and many of the men who do it are not gay. A great number of the children molested are prepubescent as well; would a straight man be attracted to an 8 year old girl? Probably not. Homosexuality is a small (if not entirely insignificant) factor.

For comparison: not all child molestors are pedophiles, either (as in, not sexually attracted to prepubescent children). Most are not. See the parallel?

I have no personal investment in this argument, I just want to see the derailing end.

Because pride parades celebrate molestation and child abuse, right?

I hope that's a joke. And honestly it's insulting either way. Read the post before making cold comments like that. This kid got molested by someone who told him he had a future. I challenge you to recover from that.

I hope this kid has a great future an makes it big for what he has gone through.

Thank you for embarrassing Australia Originalien, you have some growing up to do.



Wow im not the one who has been flamed and essentially told by every single person who has read your post that your views are irrelevant and self obsessed with your own personal issues......

Please go back to doing benzo's and listening to techno and worrying about whether your father will accept your life decisions now because your views and ideals are completely self absorbed " Gay is the new black " ......

When did u have to sit on the back of the bus??? When did u get lynched???

Am i surprised that you are self absorbed and want attention no...... Do you embaress other gay people by adhering to stereotypes. YES.

I was just responding to someone who was trying to pretend that kind of stuff doesn't happen.

It's not about the guy being gay or whatever, he molested a minor half his age who was under his guardianship. It would have been just as heinous if they were of the opposite sex.

But it's all already been said. It sucks.

I agree, with one stipulation. You can hide being gay in public, you can not hide being black. Maybe that's why it has become culturally acceptable to use "gay" and "fag" as synonyms for "stupid", while the n-word remains a tense subject. That said, no one should have to fake who they are. In a country where we entertain everyone from the Communist Party of America to the Tea Party, why can't we do the same with sexuality?

But it all comes back to this. Homosexuality has nothing to do with this topic, period, end of story. Being gay does not mean you automatically want to have sex with kids. Yes, some pedophiles are gay, some are straight, but their leanings and their desire for children are two separate things. I too think this topic needs to be locked, or at least heavily cleaned.

Guys if you want to discuss the definition of homosexuality, please start another thread, perhaps titled, Is Homosexuality About Liking Boys?, or, Is Gundam A Homo? (i don't like your chances of getting that thread, wonder why)

Seriously - I haven't even seen WeRRa mentioned in the last few pages, and I won't even bother to quote some of the totally off-topic views being expressed here. It's not even about Gundam..
thenk, yeah?

I realize that my argument there is not particularly well constructed. However, as an extreme example it actually does quite well shifting blame away from homosexuality. If more of the men molesting children are not gay, than it further normalizes the rate of homosexuality within child molesters (IE, closer to the same percentage of homosexuals and heterosexuals are child abusers).

If it is as you say, that a significant portion of men who abuse boys are not gay, then any sort of argument that homosexuality can be correlated to child abuse becomes even weaker.

In essence, I'm not disagreeing with anything you said. I don't think my original argument deserves to be completely discredited though. The original logic still pretty much stands, which is if you assume that ALL the men who abuse boys are homosexuals, that it still wouldn't correlate to a significant increase in the tendency of gays to be child molesters. Therefore, by more realistic approximations, as you noted, there is even less evidence to support such a case.

So the fact that this kid comes out and says it, the way Korean society works is, this kid has to be telling the truth, you just can't lie or exaggerate something like in Korea society, its so damaging and a no win situation on both sides, you can only say it if 100% its true; and why he says it in public post or whatever, I don't know except that I think he says it because, its not so much the molestation that is an issue (not that it isn't a major issue that starts it all), but it is simply a cry of desperation because he realizes that he just totally fucked up his life by joining this team and dropping out of high school (although I am sure his reaction was in a trauma/panic state); and so, he posts about it because his entire life seems to have no further options.

Now his life does have some options, we all know that, and he will be able to recover if he is mentally strong enough, but if the allegations were false, there would have been massive outrage and bashing from the weRRe clan, not people quiting. In Korea, it is a criminal offense to slander in public with the sentencing being jail, no shit, if you slander and have no grounds, even if you are an anonymous poster, the Korean federal cyber police will track you down, throw you in court and charge your ass. So it is extremely serious and you don't think that some of the people quiting may not have been molested as well and are really quitting because they don't want to have to address this question and just rather give an excuse they don't want to be associated with being gay?


So there's no chance the allegations are false? Wow...

Can anyone confirm ex Werra members teaming up as new clan "Project Supreme" ? At least I think they listed August, Sound, Vestige, Astraea, Ares, Naiza, Dos and several others on ProS new teampage.
