Plenty of girls-only teams and communities too. Local websites aimed at Europeans, others for all kinds of demographics. Millenium is a French only team - idk to what extent, but yeah. It's stupid but what's new about that? | ||

You've got some growing up to do, if you want to get anywhere in the real world. You're going to see things you don't agree with for the rest of your entire life. And there's not a damned thing you can do about it. | ||

You can't police the world. If that guy uses 'gay' terms to speak negatively, it's his problem, just like 'rape' is used in gaming to convey 'absolute victory' while it could offend rape victims. You won't earn more respect by throwing a fit everytime someone says 'fucking fags' or 'faggots' to complain about something disliked, even if they're not thinking specifically about sexual orientation. You won't change hundreds of years of taboo's through bitching. Just look at how hard black people have fought for equal rights in the US and yet I can't log on sc2 and win a single game without getting called 'fucking nigger'. The only thing you can do is...not care. It's a case of stupid free speech, not abuse of rights. Nobody lost their job cause they were gay thanks to mr Chieftain...so...give it up If you are gay, if you like Alliance over Horde, if you like elves or gnomes...if you're an 'emo cocksucker' or any other 'comment' by Mr. Chieftain - does it really matter? Since when did Mr. Chieftain become the patron of your life? I didn't know he had to agree with you? I didn't know he had to be respectful? I didn't know he had to obey your way of seeing life? JUST LIKE YOU DON'T HAVE TO OBEY HIS Oh noes, he doesn't like gay people - we should go cut ourselves up or jump off a cliff? Wtf If someone says something stupid or meaningless - do what anyone intelligent does and IGNORE IT Jeez, fucking ridiculous. Homophobic people are retarded and sad, yes, but people who take them seriously are worse. "more stupid than the stupid is he who listens to the stupid" | ||

However if it isn't then this is my 2cents,what he said there while might be politically incorrect it is not a form of hate crime and it could also be argued that he merely exercise his first amendment rights to express himself. Could his choice of words the better? sure, it could always be better but the point is that he does not make those remarks because he hate the gay community or has any intention of to offends them. A reasonable person would see that he is merely showing his passion to the game or perhaps just see it as a joke. If you want to argue the morality of it ,then please go somewhere they regulate morality and enforce compassion. Mind you most these countries that emphasize moral when dealing with day to day activity including the law actually hate/prosecute gay community, good luck. | ||

I guess 'Oh, shit, he RAPED that jew faggot' should make MLG highlight reels, then. Put it up on a goddamn pedestal for the whole world to see. Show it to your friends and family. I'm sure granny's gonna love it. They're just words, after all, right? If these are just words, there is no reason not to release them un-censored in e-Sports PR, yet no sane organization does so. Why? Because we try to hide this facet of our community. Why? Because if it is publicly known that this is the real face of the gaming community, say good-bye to legitimacy, since this sort of thing is, culturally, completely un-acceptable. This 'hiding' rather than 'eliminating' relies on outside sources not doing their research. It relies on no one having an economic incentive to slander the gaming community. Because if at any point a competing industry has a reason to slander e-Sports, they have plenty of ammunition. That's why, beyond being offensive as all hell, we need to eliminate this part of e-Sports culture. We are relying on an entire industry not having enemies. And if the e-Sports industry doesn't have economic rivals, then e-Sports will have been a much smaller industry than any of us are hoping. So, no, this doesn't have the capacity to ruin e-Sports. But if e-Sports becomes something larger than just a TL shirt, this is going to be a problem. | ||

Also what isn't "ruining" e-sports nowadays? | ||

I'm sure granny's gonna love it. They're just words, after all, right? Have you ever heard an established caster say anything remotely close to raping jew faggots? No? Then this is a moot point. The only people using this kind of slang aren't doing it in a professional context. The video of this guy talking shit about Alliance is about 3 years old, and everybody who saw it that I spoke to thought it was the cats ass - Some famous metal dude played WoW. Nobody gave a shit that he said faggot or gay or anything. For there to be this much backlash over an informal interview that was used to introduce the cameo is plain retarded. | ||

Sure that dude does seem to be a little off but still, he is offending the alliance... Is it now politically incorrect to offend a faction in a video game?! We need to be less sensitive, if you feel offended it is really your own fault. If your mad about the fact that he is calling them ''gay'' Then yes, i can understand that it isn't very funny hearing gay used as a curse/insult. But the word has changed over this past years. When i say something is gay, I don't mean to offend homosexuals, It's just another swear word to me. I'm sorry if i come out as a douche, but cool down. Don't take offense and just let it go and you won't need to be mad over it! | ||

Should you get shot for thinking such an innocent comment made in a split second should ruin his career? Absolutely. Seriously, who hasn't said "faggot" or "queer" in an offensive setting some time or another, that doesn't mean that you are a gay-bashing hateful guy that just hates gay people. If you thought this was offensive, I'm gonna go out of a limb here and guess that you are not gay yourself but just found it offensive "for other people", and that the only reason that you think this is offensive is because you don't know anyone or have any real world experience and think everyone that says anything offends everyone. You're so busy being politically correct that you don't have any friends, probably partly because you are so politically correct too. If you are that person, fuck you. If you want to complain about actual gay bashing, go to the "gay student gets beaten up" thread. | ||

seriously gays need to stop being so fucking emo. If people are not supposed to give a shit about what you do, why the fuck do you give a shit what other people do? It works both ways, its called tolerance ... rather than being a wussy fucking cry baby that runs around spreading litigious woe whenever someone says something you dont like why not grow a pair and enjoy life? What do you want an equivalent of white guilt? Banal. | ||
