Somebody thinks the BW community is toxic. Shocking... must be trolling... | ||

There's a difference between "toxic" and "always been one of the most toxic communities". I will respectfully disagree with you, as I don't think BW or SC2 has been more toxic than other e-sports communities, overall. Either way, I don't really think it matters much  | ||

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? yeah um no, the first post always had the TL link. i made sure to include two links to prove my point. the first article, which seems like you didn't read, clearly mentions idras disrespecting of the community. pretty sure wishing someone dead from cancer, counts as disrespecting. to make it more explicit, i found the second liquipedia link had the cancer comment. i did edit the post for typos and to copy pasta the quotes in. the cancer thing sticks out because i remember seeing incontrols stream soon after where he discussed the cancer statement saying something along the lines of: "of course its not ok, but obviously idra didn't mean it literally" ie he was diplomatically defending his best friend the sc2 community clearly was filled with witch hunts and pitch forks. no need to mention any narrative, anyone can look at the historical data and put two and two together. just listen to old SOTG podcasts where almost every week they were talking about how nerds were threatening to "EMAIL THE SPONSORS". unsurprisingly, the witch hunts died soon after roro vs symbol gsl finals gglord and winfestor killed the game for good. once viewership dwindled, the mobs moved on to more popular games. | ||

Most comments does indeed center around him leaving suddenly, and then deleting all his videos many years later. But the comments, while angry, are not shitposts or the like. They're explaining why they're angry in a reasonable manner (at least the top comments which I sifted through. I didn't go to the bottom). Whether that anger is reasonable in the first place is another matter tho. I don't think it is. | ||

I guess I kind of get it on some level, but mainly I just wonder why people often feel like they are owed something from content creators. Yeah, maybe it would have been nice if he at least communicated the fact that he was done making videos, but we don’t really know the full circumstances surrounding his departure. It strikes me as somewhat entitled behavior to get genuinely upset about something like that, reminiscent of a petulant child. | ||

Just be thankful there ever was a Husky & enjoy the memories & content he provided to you. He obviously has moved on to other things that he feels is best for him. You can either support that & be happy for his success or flame him or say he's this or he's that. Just remember the world is what we make of it & it starts with you. If you want to be bitter, then thats your choice, but given a lot of these responses, I can't blame him for one second. Since you used this metaphore and not me, let me reply When you(or I or anyone) gets dumped, most of the time the person tells you that you got dumped! And that's the point, people are not angry because he left, but how he lefT! If you spouse would some time just left the house, didn't accept calls, didn't reply to messages, that's normal break up for you? And again, you used the metaphore. All the people wanted is - Hey guys, this is H to the usky, Husky. I have sad news for you, I'm taking a break from creating my content. I don't know for how long and I cannot tell whether I return or not. Thank you for your support, bye. That's all!!! It\'s funny, that on a website, where not saying gl hf and gg equals to bad manners, not saying goodbye to a loyal fanbase is not.. WTF? | ||

Him and Day9 leaving were the saddest parts of my esports memories. :/ Why delete, Husky? Sometimes I went back just to take a trip back in time! | ||

It wasn't Starcraft II related, but recently, I watched his video of the GTS chivalry tournament he had where he only lost one match, and then he destroyed TB in the finals. | ||

*record scratch* Ghost of StarCraft's past: You're probably wondering how we got here. I know, I know, unnecessary edgy, grim-dark future? Check. Total collapse of the scene you cherish? Check. The cause... Well don't you remember? It was you not supporting the scene, not being hospitable and open to new players. Always taking our content creators for granted and acting like sharing their labours wasn't worth the 3 seconds you would've otherwise spent staring at RankedFTW, wondering why your mmr is so low. How could it be so low? You don't even play enough games per season to lose enough to be so low! But you are wrong in your ways. -Cuts to SC2 Twitch Chat GM- Twitch Chat GM (writhing in despondency): No! No! It can't be! It can't be! Ghost of StarCraft's Past: Yes! Just look at the way you couldn't be arsed to comment on that PiG ICYFAR video you watched 3 times! Twitch Chat GM (chained by despair): I only laughed the first two times I while watching that diamond Zerg beat the Protoss with only Infestors and Vipers. Ghost of StarCraft's Past: What about those matcherino codes huh? It's free money dude, like come on it takes 5 seconds. Twitch Chat GM: I am sorry! I'll do anything just take me back. Ghost of StarCraft's Past: Accept that Husky has moved on. Twitch Chat GM: NEVER! | ||

So much SC history lost =\ This, the real loss here is all the content that existed as historical reference on his channel. Many of the games he casted were the only extant replays or videos of legendary games. Most MLG footage is totally gone, tons of games from small online cups that nevertheless featured all-time matchups, and of course his humor content like Bronze League Heroes. I'm thankful that I recently decided to watch the whole Bronze League Heroes series one last time, because now in all likelihood it's gone forever. Despite the supposed permanence of digital information, a huge amount of Starcraft history and resources were never preserved. Many of the moments that defined a player's personality and legacy are now lost because of accounts getting closed or never being archived. I personally scoured all of Youtube in search of every single IdrA stream I could find, since he deleted all his stream highlights and the vast majority of them were never re-uploaded; many of those that were got flagged for copyright. I understand if Husky is trying to protect himself from liability by closing his channel, but for those of us who still watched and enjoyed his casting and his content, this really sucks. So if you have a favorite player or content creator out there and don't want to lose that history, please mirror and archive this stuff, because you never know when it's all just going to disappear. | ||

Why delete everything? Hmm. His primary job these days revolves around Ro. Ro works for Disney. Disney just recently canned the acclaimed director of a massively successful movie series because of something he did on the internet years ago which he has spent time since regretting, apologizing for, and trying to be better than. Can you remember everything you've ever said that might be on film somewhere, possibly while you were not fully coherent for any reason? Could you have used language that could be misconstrued? Maybe that's why. Or maybe he just wants to start over as a hair and makeup youtuber. Who knows. But if he wants to make new content, that'd be cool. | ||
