I found that disturbing, obviously he (or someone) had recently typed it, making you wonder what was on their mind, and there was no reason to be joining chat channels or keep flashing it when waiting for an invite to a game. Glad I didn't see that. It's disappointing to say the least. | ||

Polt n MKP have similar styles, and Polt just lost, and MKP plays the guy who beat polt... I don't think its as "clear" as you would think  Then again, Goswser plays a guy whos had ZvZ the whole way thru, and MKP plays Hwangsin... Don't think those are easy games by any means | ||

You're going to get the guy fired or something. Who knows why he joined that channel. As far as I know you can never remove them from that list. And a LOT of people spam the friends list button for no reason between games. | ||

So first he (or someone related to MLG) decides to join a channel named that, then decides to flash his chat channel screen twice (not once, like "crap that channel is poorly named" then closes it, he opens it again!) while casting for no reason (he had no reason to join a chat channel at that time, he was waiting for an invite to the third game)? Really? And you can remove it from the list, it only saves the last five. | ||

I do it absent-mindedly, every streamer does it. And he probably didn't join it today. It may have been months ago. I still have channels on my saved list from the patch day when channels were first introduced | ||

But even if it was a mistake, it is not appropriate at all (reminds me of the "wardrobe malfunction" at the Superbowl). | ||

He landed a dream job for a gamer and did alright. I'd feel bad if he was fired over an honest mistake. | ||

Even still, if I'm on TV and my fly is open, I'd turn around and close it rather than pointing it out to the masses who probably didn't notice in the first place. | ||

If someone wants to send a message like that, they often do it subtle ways, they won't just come out and scream it, because that will 100% get them fired. Funny it was on the "Black Stream" too huh... You do realize about 10x more people will notice that message now because of you going around on your crusade over something that was most likely unintentional and or someone else's fault. Should I be calling you out for a permban from tl and mlg streamwatching since you're obviously spreading hate in subtle ways?!, notify some staff and give the guy a chance to defend himself behind the scenes if it's really that much of an issue for you.

This is like going on a TV show with a Nazi Flag on your shirt, then quickly taking it off and acting like nothing happened. It's way more like having a sticker of said flag stuck to your back while turning around. You're acting like the guy was flautning his life sized Hitler tattoo while reading from mein kampf on stream man, relax for a bit. | ||

I didn't notice it nor do I think it's appropriate to assume he's at fault in any way for it. Why are you so angry? | ||

Even in that situation though, if someone stuck a swastika on my shirt on TV and it wasn't blatantly obvious, I'd still discretely remove it rather than draw attention. Edit: Lets agree to disagree I guess. Going to stop bumping this thread now.. | ||
