I already talked about Psy's thing. Dunno I think he reacted badly, but i understand. Putting up with idiots can be rage inducing. | ||

That said, I think it's disgusting that Pendragon had to publicly announce this to appease the lynch mob and see them scour his Facebook and laugh at him. | ||

This. I was so disgusted to read through that first thread and find people digging up every single piece of information about him, just to laugh at him and make fun of him as a person. It was wrong of Pendragon to tell them that he was fired. | ||

If they decided to give him another chance, they would have had to do the same. | ||

I don't think they are so worried about this one incident than that they have to say 'what if something like this happens again and we did nothing this time." Riot can't risk losing any kind of credibility with their playerbase. Their hands were tied, and they had to act. Just the way the corporate world works, even the most lenient ones. It's a shitty situation. I just hope Brent bounces back and lands on his feet. | ||

Psy getting fired or not was not going to have any real impact on people purchasing things from Riot. I'm honestly wondering if he was fired mainly because of the ban or for leaking the skin to caller lol. | ||

Good riddance. Brent has been ****ing around with his i-know-people status since he was a SCBW commentator. Most of his supporters are TL sheep who are aware that if they don't turn taliban and support him will get frowned upon to death on their forums. This guy knows whats up. Clearly we all secretly hate Brent but won't say it cuz TL lynch mob will have our heads. | ||

All future threads except this one will be deleted. That appeases the mob and doesn't publicly humiliate someone. Also the guy who got banned should stay banned, but whatever the tribunal will probably see him soon enough. | ||

I'm honestly wondering if he was fired mainly because of the ban or for leaking the skin to caller lol. It was major drama involving a riot-staff member, you can't just put the lid on it. Either they can choose to please the crowd that supports Psy or the crowd wanting his head. Not saying anything and firing him would enrage both sides. While I feel that everyone deserves a warning first (in the case a very hefty one) I can't say I could argue against their decision here, it was a marathon of horrible decisions from Psy. "Alternatively, they could have just close-stickied that thread, and closed any future threads about the issue--as it stands the thread rapidly degenerated from discussion to simply a public stoning." This I would agree on. | ||

You already fired him, if that is not enough for the player base, too bad for them. Someone would have figured out the end result eventually. | ||

I duno if the screenshots I saw were true but it makes me sad that he got fired but it was really all his fault. I'm pretty well known for being rage-ful (is that a world?) but I completely avoid racial slurs because nobody wins when that happens. Hopefully everything works out alright for him. | ||
