The Destiny Fan Club - Page 85

There are already 30+ pages of responses in this thread and it would be too hard to read everything (I doubt there are more of a handful of the posts worth reading), so I'm just going to respond to the OP.

Your main point is that the use of the racial slurs is going to make the community look bad, which will be bad for the community (sponsors and all that jazz).

There are several questions that come to mind when I read the OP. Where is the real problem? It's possible to say things much more offensive than what Destiny says without using a single racial slur. In fact it would probably be more offensive.

Do you think that the real problems is that he's using racial slurs (or the term autistic?)? Would you rather be insulted in without certain words? At the end of the day, words are nothing more than tools to be used to get a point across. It's probably more preferable to pay closer attention to what your interlocutor wants to you to understand rather than the words he uses.

You said yourself that you don't think Destiny is racist. He's not disrespecting you for being Asian, he's being disrespectful for your play. Albeit, using colorful terms (to put it diplomatically). But if the message he had given you wouldn't have been a problem if he had used other words, then there shouldn't be a problem at all.

If the sponsors wants Destiny to stop using certain terms because they're afraid of their image, it's their call to do so. But they're the only ones who are really "allowed" to have an issue with this.

I hope you understand what I'm saying, mang.
