LOL. now i dont like idra, because he whined about balance, even after GGlord and winfestor were dominating, but i thought his rage was entertaining enough. i even a sad and emotional incontrol even streamed about it a few days after essentially defending idra but doing so diplomatically, im surprised he didn't catch flak about that. the environment today is 100x more sensitive than it was back then. husky doesn't owe the fans anything and its certainly plausible he doesn't want anything wrong he said to come back to bite him. the fans owe him for his great content. | ||

google is your friend https://www.pcgamesn.com/starcraft/starcraft-2-pro-idra-kicked-out-evil-geniuses-failing-show-due-respect-and-appreciation-community also scroll down to "WCS 2013 and release from EG"  IdrA the cancer statement was the first, and after the outrage he tweeted "you're all a bunch of fucks it just so happens i get paid to treat you like it. it's fucking awesome." after that he got fired but please continue to tell me how that's not even remotely true | ||

But that would spoil your fantastical SJW narrative I imagine. actually i calmly linked to a third party article as well as the liquipedia entry on idra, pointed you to the relevant section which has the cancer quote. im not bringing up any narratives due to my warning, i'm bringing up historical facts that anyone can verify with a google search. | ||

First of all, Destiny didn't get away with that much. He got booted off two teams (Quantic and ROOT) for his behaviour due to a certain notorious Reddit community spamming his team's sponsors with negative feedback, long after both r/Starcraft and Team Liquid declared that posts encouraging others to contact sponsors with negative feedback were a bannable offence. Why was that rule put into place? Because the SC2 community did exactly that to up-and-coming casters like Orb and Katu and ruined both their careers. Orb had angry comments with racist language he typed during matches dug through and Katu angered fans of SlayerSDragon who were livid that he mocked their favourite streamer's stream cheating and map hacking history to the point where they mailbombed Playhem into firing him. By the time IdrA was canned from EG, big name sponsors like Razer were far more vigilant when it came to damage control. | ||

Perhaps he's aiming to go into general gaming content, or commentating other/multiple games. There is a rumour going around on /r/starcraft that Husky may be making a return to SC2. LAGTV recently announced a charity event with a guest caster that they couldn't reveal due to the finalising of contracts. Could it be Husky they're referring to? Part of me doubts it because if he intended to remotely stick to SC2, he wouldn't nuke his channel from orbit. | ||

You edited your post to include the TL links afterwards. Why lie? The first link never even mentions cancer. You clearly haven't read your own first link, the third party link. Otherwise you may have noticed why my memory might be clearer than yours... But hey I guess you just got to push your obsessive SJW narrative right? | ||

So I think, it's quite newsworthy if this content gets deleted. | ||

Which leads me to: If you're semi famous in any community, you're going to get hate. Sometimes vile and disgusting hate, and even detailed death threats. It's not ok, and we should do anything we can do smash down on it when possible, but it's a fact of that type of life. I have no idea if Husky left because of that or not, but if you're a person who can't handle it without becoming depressed or anxious, then leaving the scene might just be the best way for your own sanity. P.S: Husky was awesome and I dearly miss his content. Even his sketches was really really good. edit: Also, it seems likely that he's returning, not disappearing, based on the "soon" banner. I'm really excited and couldn't be happier! | ||

I'm not going to deny there was bad, but nothing better or worse than any other community. Once a game (or tv series) gets popular enough, there will inevitably be enough assholes banding together to create some kind of vomit, especially when you can be anonymous. Dota2, Overwatch, CS:GO, Hearthstone, and hell even iRacing, all have problems with assholes who doesn't have anything better to do than to ruin other's experiences.

The fact that there’s so much direct interaction with fans is one of the really cool things about esports, even if it seems at times like a few assholes are ruining that for everyone else. | ||
