But they arent.... brazzers is only looking at the FGC (wich is quite different from the sc2 scene) and well... for the FGC its an amazing thing. why? simple, the FGC doesnt have the kind of sponsors the sc2 scene haves (big companies like intel razer and such) so even if some of their sponsors where to withdraw the money of such massive sponsors (wich eclipse even sc2´s sponsors) would be great for the FGC. TL;DR : Brazzers sponsoring the FGC = good. Brazzers sponsoring the Sc2 scene = Bad. luckily only the first is a reality while the second is just a far fetched possibility | ||

Ok.. jokes aside... (yeah, pretty bad joke @-@...) I dont see porn industry messing with e-sports, the same way they wouldn't be on regular sports. | ||

Also any team sponsored by it would be insta banned from GSL(Porn is illegal in Korea I think). And god forbid, we get a good bug sponsor like in BW(Corporations like Samsung, freaking banks etc...) as I said they will probably would not want to be put in the same level as a freaking porn site, Anyone thinking this would be good needs to think again. | ||

Whenever I watch something EG related I automatically think of Kingston/Steel Series/Monster. It's called advertising... They sponsor to advertise... Sure some people may genuinely care and the money return/exposure isn't a big deal, but it's always a part of the deal. Exactly. This x1000. EG is the best team when it comes to promoting their sponsor. They do so much with their sponsors, advertising them in so many different ways and everyone who watches interviews can recite the order in which all the EG players thank their sponsors "id like to thank intel, steelseries, monster energy, kingston hyperx". But none of these big sponsors want the EG players to say "id like to thank intel, steelseries, BRAZZERS, monster energy". That would sound so bad | ||

What you mean is a reproductive health establishment like Planned Parenthood? If White-Ra was sponsored by PP he would not only get money but also gain significant audience just be being supported by a truly great establishment like PP. Ofcourse PP gains nothing from the sponsorship since the demographics don't match. Brazzers might profit because I imagine the demographics are spot on. But porn is no worse than a tobacco company or an alcohol company sponsoring an event. I regularly watch F1 which is sponsored by tobacco companies. I don't sit and think "oh shit man, Scuderia Marlboro Ferrari is getting millions from Marlboro - I should stop supporting them". I watched the Johnny Walker PGA tour and I didn't think "alcoholism ruins life, and look how many car accidents because of the alcohol". Sponsors don't define the event, the event actually defines the sponsors. It might be bad for a nascent industry like e-sport, but realistically a sponsorship from brazzers is no worse than a sponsorship from Marlboro or Johnny Walker for an established sport. Also I think Brazzers needs more brand recognition in the target demo. I had to google them. You're completely right, my example was pretty distasteful. I didn't actually intend to bring up PP and that kind of business my point was being that you could have any sponsor for popular players and people would still watch them. Apologies. | ||

People in favour:¨Dude, money is money, and I totally watch porn its cool. And besides we are indie yo.¨ People againt: ¨Dude this can scare future sponsors(and thus future money). If we want SC2 to grow to bigger audiences we have to be careful about our image¨ Really guys, I don´t think many people are against porn. Most of the people against are more concerned about the image that we want to project towards the mainstream. I don´t know why people have such a hard time understanding that we live in a society and that the image that you project actually matters a lot. This is not a cartoon where people will see how great of a person you are eventually and will love you. 1st impressions matter a lot. On another note, I was talking about this with a friend who has 2 kids, one 8 and one 9 years old. Dude is not some kind of religious nutjob, nor does he thinks that sex is something that someone should be ashamed of. He saw this and was worried a lot about this. Kids are curious creatures and they do look up stuff they see on the internet. Its a real concern and its not only ultra conservative nutjobs who may be turned off by this.And before someone tries to comment on the hypocrisy of watching highly cartoonish and stylized violence vs his kid being potentially being exposed to porn realize that its completely different. | ||

DO PEOPLE SERIOUSLY NOT SEE THE ISSUE HERE??? I apologize for the all caps to start out, but this is absolutely 100% not okay! I hate 'Killing ESPORTS" threads, but this is a real issue. Their is no way anyone should accept a sponsorship from porn!!! Dr Pepper, Razer and others don't want their logo next to BRAZZERS! Nor should you want it on your game! I really hope this is a troll, or you need to rethink how you see the porn industry. It's not some dirty backstreet business. It's a huge industry and brazzers is one of it's most popular sites. I see you hate porn for some reason, but I promise it's not the devil. Otherwise 6/10. | ||

TL;DR : Brazzers sponsoring the FGC = good. Brazzers sponsoring the Sc2 scene = Bad. luckily only the first is a reality while the second is just a far fetched possibility Having porn companies as sponsors is most likely too limiting. Porn is mainstream due to how far it reaches and just how much money goes into it and is generated is as an industry; but porn is based on business that people prefer to keep private and personal.Putting porn out there in the public space isn't feasible because it is counterproductive in many ways. Certain types of porn are popular because they are taboo and are thus edgey and alluring. Gaining public social acceptance completely waters down the tone and appeal of this type of porn. Other types get by by serving the lowest common denominator. Putting porn in the public space increases the risk of exposing children to the wrong impression about how sex should be treated before they can properly develop their understanding of adult relationships. Porn tastes can be very specific and polarizing. Fetishes you like would make others extremely uncomfortable. Even fetishes you share with others can still make them uncomfortable because being aroused in a crowd of strangers is an unwanted feeling and should be respected. Porn in a public is just going to either anger people or make them avoid that part of the public space completely even if it is their type of porn. Porn companies becoming public sponsors in the FGC is too much of risk and IMO should be shunned. | ||
