1. Keep those controversial languages, keep this community relatively small and not aiim at growing e-sports much because addition of more people cause more language problems.

2. Try to cater to more people to grow the community like other sports. Just like no country's team is said to have raped or murdered another country's team in olympics, we need to refrain from using some words. Sometimes, it is inconvinient, but we sacrifice it in favor of having bigger e-sports community.

You can't do both. It is our choice.

GRRM can write an explicit rape scene in a book - It's a best seller and no one complains

Someone mentions the word rape on a forum - The entire community is instantly labeled as cancerous and insensitive, preventing the scene from growing

Makes sense.

Millenium series had someone getting raped as well. That series of books seemed to be a commercial success.

Did you read the books? the rape scene was used to establish the guy as a "bad guy" in the eyes of the reader. He was put to justice at the end of the 3rd book.

Fiction is fiction. When rape is portrayed in fiction (unless its some kind of perverted twisted porn) its always portrayed as a horrible, highly traumatizing experience.

Using a rape scene to establish that guy as a bad guy was absolutely irrelevant to why i brought it up. If someone is able to write a graphic rape scene without being persecuted on a forum somewhere because he brought up some horrible memories in someone, then someone on a forum should be able to write down that jyp just got raped by mvp.


You are so illogical i dont know how to respond. Feminists and anti-rape groups, womens-rights groups and anti-woman abuse grouås applauded his books for bringing the character lisbeth salander, who portrays what many innocent women go through in their lives, to the public, and the books increased peoples hostality thowards rape and rapists, not thowards the author who wrote the novels. Stieg Larsson was a feminist and womans-right activist himself and he wanted to show people how horrible and traumatizing the act of rape actually is.

The point I was making was that using a word off hand is not automatically a bad thing btw.

I can agree with you on that one. I just get very upset about it because im passionate about E-sports and if we really want our game to make it big, the community has to mature and perhaps toss some words that might offend people. In this day and era where everything has to be politically correct, you wanna be as clean as possible if you wanna get positive attention.

Stieg Larsson was a feminist and womans-right activist himself and he wanted to show people how horrible and traumatizing the act of rape actually is.
Larson has a very personal relationship with rape. When he was a teen several of his friends raped a girl and he didn't act to protect her. He tried to speak the girl (named Lisbeth) later and she called him "one of them." This experience left a lasting impact on Larson. Its one of the reasons he wrote Lisneth Salanders character. It was him trying to make amends for not saving her. He also was trying to raise awareness of the horrific nature of the crime. The rape in GWTDT was extreme, unsettling, and uncensored. It was meant to be unpleasant. It wasn't just a plot device to establish a villain, it was just one piece of a greater commentary on misogyny in Scandinavian culture.

It most assuredly was not the same as someone flagrantly throwing around the word rape.

Which is exactly why I brought it up, the word has a different meaning based on the context, and that saying it offhandedly or on a forum isn't some dramatic evil associated with the word.

Besides grubby, was there any real surprises today? Talking about people who made it through, not good players that lost early on.

Nice. I was kinda bummed that I didn't see any of these games. Seems like a pretty star-studded lineup.

I think you're giving Feast, Kas, and PiG way too much credit...

Grubby has been on fire last couple months though, so not sure if it's that surprise. + Show Spoiler +

I can agree that very few people who qualifed actually looked dominant, lots of flawed plays from champion level players. From the matches i saw, MC was the one who looked most convincing. But he always does in group/pool play

I really think Grubby can take first place in his group if he stays on fire and learned a few things from playing MVP and uses this to beat Bomber. Also happy to see real doing well once again.
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

Must be Bomber's lucky day to score such an easy group. All the other groups have 3 Koreans but in his he's the only one.

Come to think, the skill of mvp and nestea at one point looked like it was going to completely eclipse mc. Look how the tables have turned
