What? How is the relevant though... He hasn't been in the scene for so long, still one of the first Pillars of SC2. RIP H to the usky Husky.

look at the forum and look at how many replies this thread has. that's how it's relevant. kind of explains itself? people liked husky, so he matters to them.

I don't understand this sort of Entitled Fan mentality.

Just because somebody produces content you enjoy does not obligate them in anyway to keep you updated about their personal life, or choices.

Edit:
Actually re-reading this post I think I fell for a troll since they guy here is saying he didn't care about Husky anyways.
I can take that responsibility.

I haven't thought about Husky for about 5 years because he hasn't been very active in the scene...big news though. I'm thankful for everyone that's given anything to this game.

I'm one of those fans who was introduced to starcraft by the HDH invitational. Sorry to see Husky's gone.

I root for Euro Zergs, NA Protoss* and Korean Terrans. (Any North American who has beat a Korean Pro as Protoss counts as NA Toss)

Well luckily this is TeamLiquid where the staff have some standards, not /r/starcraft where that iBleedorange imbecile even joined in the dogpile against Husky instead of doing his job as a moderator.

Why is there so much hate towards iBleeedOrange in particular when the r/starcraft mod team is pretty expansive? Is it because he's a Reddit power user that's in control of a lot of subreddits?

This kind of thinking is what's wrong with this community.
To think that someone who dedicated years of his life to starcraft without getting much back from the community has to be grateful for the people he entertains with his content is just outright ridicolous.

I'm not the biggest fan of Husky, I was much more attracted by the professionalism HDStarcraft tried to imprint in his casts, Husky was too goofy for me but I cannot say I didn't watch and enjoy his content. When both Husky and HDStarcraft halted their presence in YouTube I acted like a rational person, feel sad and get over it. They made content I enjoyed very much and I'm thankful with them, they owe nothing to me, not even a farewel letter. I just wish they've stayed for longer.

I think anyone who has been around SC2 since the beginning probably spent a lot of time watching/looking forward to the new Husky videos. I definitely looked forward to all his new content back when he was releasing it. Interesting and sad that he chose to remove it. I wonder why?

I rewatched some of his BLH episodes earlier this year and was really enjoying it.
Sad news. Closing a channel makes no sense, unless he really wanted to "cleanse" his past or due to legal issues. He will have his reasons, I guess.
first we make expand, then we defense it.

Yeah, it's only natural to be curious when suddenly years of content is no longer visible. I'm sure he has his reasons and above all wish him well and hope he's in good spirits.

That's sad. I never heard of the hate Husky received but this is probably because I wasn't very active in the american SC2-Scene back then. But I stumbled every now and then over his content and I always really liked his stuff and his positive energy.
That he is gone without a farewell - yeah, stuff happens and he probably did what is good for him and I really wish that this happy guy can do something that keeps him being happy.
But taking his videos offline... that really hurts. He is a big part of SC2-history and without his content being there to refer on it... this is kind of taking away a part of the identity of the SC2-community
Furthermore, I consider that some kind of Code A must be reestablished.

Husky as a caster was fine. As a friendly intro for people not versed in StarCraft he was fantastic.

Yes he was the victim of some negativity but he just dealt with it like a champ.

Him getting rid of his channel shows a level of maturity which a comparable but contemporary StarCraft related YouTuber like Destiny (who has decided to make a career uploading political debates with randos) will never achieve. Best of luck to Husky.

We just gonna be quiet on the fact that the community crucified him because some people didn't like his casting and people started online petitions to keep him from casting at premier events. The community treated him like garbage and he got out at the first good opportunity. Good man.


i don't remember the commuity treating husky like garbage, but i remember them shitting on JP and totla biscuit so not surprised. disgusting toxic useless basement dwellers. funny thing is now that sc2 is on critical life support most of them probably don't even post here anymore. they're probably shitting all over lol casters or something

the hypothesis of said basement dwellers trying to find something offensive said in his countless content to nail him makes perfect sense as well. SJW - useless to society and not contributing anything and then blame society for not having a job, then tries to drag everyone else down by getting them fired from their job. i do remember orb. he said stupid things, but here comes the witch mob to attack and destroy. and like easily distracted peasants they went on to the next outrage of the week and completely forgot about him

i miss husky and also painuser/HD (when they comboed together on IGN channel) and dj wheat and JP and all their sc2 content. listening to them brought me happiness and brings me back to when i was still in my 20s. a carefree and happy time. i occasionally still listen and watch old content and derive enjoyment from it. i didn't care what their rating was. very sad that husky has removed all his vids.

GOOD JOB SJWS. GOOD JOB

I don't understand how anyone can spend years making content and have it as a full time job, but have no desire to tell their thousands of fans that they are not going to make that content anymore, it just seems weird.

And from a practical perspective i bet Husky still gets daily or weekly messages asking whether he is coming back to SC2, he could have saved himself a lot of time simply by putting out a short message saying he is moving on the other things.

Some people are already running scripts that delete their old tweets on a regular basis, so if it's true that Husky deleted his channel to protect him and his wife from future targeted attacks or internet outrage then it's understandable. The cancellation of Nidome no Jinsei's anime because of the author's racist tweets from years ago and James Gunn's firing because of his edgy tweets from almost a decade ago comes to mind.

I'm going to miss H to the usky Husky but you do what you gotta do.

For all of you continuing to suggest that there is some kind of moral obligation for Huskey to have communicated with his Fans about his decisions...

Please consider that being in the public eye is rarely a totally enjoyable experience. Anytime someone makes a name for themselves anywhere on the internet they open themselves up to the best and the worst sides of Fan culture. People by and large are usually pretty kind and supportive, however the bad apples tend to make themselves stand out.

Now I have no idea if that is the case here, but my point is that neither do you. It's simply not fair to assume much of anything about the situation others are in. Then you also have to consider that it is everybodies choice to live how they want. Maybe Husky decided he just didn't want to be in the public eye any longer. He could have made some announcement about this, yes, but that would generate a new wave of attention. Perhaps, he simply preferred to let peoples focus move on and fade away.

Sorry, I don't know why this issue is bugging me and I am partially just playing devils advocate. However I just find this mindset of Fans to be very short-sighted, not thought out, and to be perfectly frank it is just selfish to think that you are owed anything by people who produce content for entertainment. Though there is a pretty large debate to be had here about this topic, I am going to stop there as I don't think the larger topic has any bearing on this instance.
I can take that responsibility.
