Excuse me but do not slander qxc the SC2 player. It was xQc the OW pro.

I knew it wasn't qxc, because he was totally a bro.
But I sure as hell wont look up the alias of a inferiorTF2 "pro".


BTW, a question at mods. I collected a few warnings over the years. Is there a limit on these until you ban me or is it more of a frequency thing?

you have a bunch of warnings for twitch face spamming. They factor in to future mod actions but so does stuff like what they are for and how long since you've last been warned.

On the topic of being drunk: Ever since knowing some drunk people in my life who actually threatens and hurt other people (i remember my neighbor actually punching his own mother when he got drunk) that drunks who suddenly become giant liars or very verbally abuse i just see them as tolerable.

Though i really don't believe the excuse "because i was drunk" for doing something terrible cause i know what it's like to be really drunk.

As far as I know for TL moderation, there isn't some automatic ban system for non-bot/spam accounts, so your records are always reviewed on a per-report basis rather than fed into a machine that spits out your ban durations.

I don't think dropping a racial insult when you're drunk necessarily makes you racist. Though he could very well be racist and what he did was totally wrong, just saying that there's definitely other underlying motivators and backgrounds at play.

Maybe he grew up in a completely white area and was never really taught the history of the word so he sort of internalized it as just an edgy meme word as a kid?

I don't really know him well enough to say, but I could imagine multiple scenarios where I don't think he deserves to be condemned or kicked out of his casting career (so long as he recognizes that it's pretty fucked up and sincerely apologizes)

As someone with extensive knowledge of the ban system and being constantly terrorized by it since 2010 - yes this is correct

Everything is done on a case-by-case basis. So if you get banned it means someone hates you (:

There are a lot of flavors and degrees of racist. Most of them come down to just straight up aggressive negligence, rather than malice. I don't think the guy is wearing a hood and burning crosses in his free time. But he is someone who uses the N-word as an insult to degrade people when it guard is down. And if you are lucky enough to grow up in an area that isn't plague by racism, you should have the common sense to know that word is the favorite of racists and likely not one you should be dropping. I don't think he is the devil, but he isn't anyone people needs to defend.

But more importantly, every time people defend folks that say shit like they, they make the place safer for real racists to join up and feel welcome. They can hide in plain sight, say that are terrible and pass it off as a joke. Until suddenly the community that thought it was against all that garbage is now so filled with it that there is no recovery. People jump ship and leave that hobby/community to the racists and those who are willing to tolerate them. Because that is these people work. They want to make a safe space for them to be racist, sexist or just plain terrible and they will do it with whatever community you are part of.

And this is coming form a guy who had to leave more than a few board game stores and table top communities because they got taken over by shitty people that the community refused to expel. Mostly passive aggressive sexist assholes. I never really made the connection until last year when my buddy finally decided to leave the Magic community after 10 + years of judging because he couldn't deal with the culture that never seemed to clean itself up. These people are going to ruin the game and communities you enjoy.

Yeah, I agree with your stance - well worded and touches a few points I agree with. I wasn't making my previous post to defend him in any way, just offer an opinion that on a spectrum of "how bad" it is, it's still bad - but could not be 10/10 terrible. I think the take away point of my writing is that I hope he recognizes why he was wrong, apologizes in an earnest way, the community takes that and maybe grows/learns a bit, and then people carry on from there having grown a bit. But realistically people are just gonna spam trihards when/if he casts again

Oh yeah, I see that. Personally, I don't think telling someone to kill themselves is that bad. Something about a random stranger online saying that just seems like it's just another insult and not anywhere near the same level as racism. I imagine someone here might disagree, and if so maybe you can change my mind - but I feel like if you limit someone from saying Kill Yourself they'll just find some other hurtful thing to say and you aren't really addressing or changing the negative emotions behind it - which is the root of the problem

Easy to say that when you are the person that is saying it, or not someone that would be vulnerable to it.

-signed, someone who wants to kill themselves (but dont worry im getting the help i need and ill push through it)

Don’t tell people to kill themselves. Find a better insult that isn’t connected to suicide. My job has made me have to resolve property and legal issues surrounding suicides, its not something that is really appropriate to joke about.

You're right, it is easy to say things that someone can't directly empathize with. But doesn't it seem sort of odd for a company like twitch for instance to ban someone for saying "kill yourself" to a random person online but it's totally acceptable to just find various other insults to harass someone with? Maybe I'm just more of a proponent of "it's just words on the internet, get over it" idk

I'm not saying it's nice, or okay - but just that it's no different from being shitty to other people in general and not some "next level" of awful like some people make it out to be

Probably a greater question of where internet "bullying" (stupid term) starts and ends, and how internet culture and anonymity has different effects on the vulnerable human psyche.

I think it depends on the context. There was a case of a girl telling her boyfriend for months to kill him self and essentially manipulating/persuading him to do it. I think she's culpable.

Someone online saying kys and them then doing it doesn't mean they should be blamed at all.

What if me getting banned on TL for the umpteenth time pushed me over the edge and I offed myself? Wouldn't you just write that off as "well we feel bad it happened but like, it's a TL ban so it's not like we caused it"

Edit: plansix beat me to it - that's what I was referencing
