Then he says something non-political and makes things super awkward, NASL throws him to the wolves, and kinda waltzes away as he gets shit on for his comment. I'm gonna side with this. Its seemed the entire time that Terry's shtick was to be that awkward/silly/border line idiotic guy and NASL was fine with that. You could see it in the interactions between him and Bitter, where you could see Bitter was being a dick to him playfully and as friends for saying the stupid shit he does. And suddenly he makes a comment that isn't 100% politically correct and NASL immediately fires him. Doesn't really seem fair. Also wasn't it clutch during the ro16 that interviewed some random dude and his friend who happened to be a girl? Do you HONESTLY think they would have picked those two if it wasn't a guy and a girl? Probably not. But because he didn't SAY it it was fine. | ||

You are making this to be a MUCH bigger thing than it really was, thereby ironically perpetuating the very thing you're pretending to be defending. Go away. Let me guess, you're a white male. Am I right? I don't know what that person was feeling. But I sure know what I felt, and I'm pissed. | ||

Because you get offended you have grounds to demand someone being fired regardless of everyone else who isn't offended? | ||

Don't cry people, Terry's time was over anyways, they just had to distance themselves publicly, Blizz and RedBull are sensitive. | ||

Man, that's racists. Things are what they are. They are not some other, nastier, badder and uglier things because you make a senseless analogy. | ||

They are SO racist in Korea because they show the white guys in the crowd. Everyone boycott Korean Starcraft and complain to sponsors because they are racist. | ||

I always laugh my fucking ass off when you whiteknights come in and pretend to know what that person was thinking... because most of the time they were probably amused and you're making it to be a much bigger issue than it was or should have been, in trying to "defend" them. I didn't want to get into this but since you resort to name-calling I guess I will share my view. Yes, what Terry did was unprofessional at a SC2 event. NASL didn't over publicize the issue, they simply made a twitter post apologizing to those who were offended and made sure the event went on to please those. Terry wasn't racist, he was simply trying to be funny, but he was doing it at the expense of another person's event experience, and it was as wrong as if he had made severe fun of the guy with the political science degree. It's not that Terry's racist, it's he made someone feel uncomfortable. And the way he did would make other people feel uncomfortable going to that event. I'm not a white-knight for feeling bad for that guy who came all the way from the Virgin Islands to feel super awkward in front of Terry and 40k people. And it wasn't just awkward like awkward conversations, it was awkward because Terry was saying "Hey look at how weird this is! A black guy!" Your point that NASL then made a bigger fuss out of it, but they did a response to it that said they didn't agree with it. They addressed the problem in the right way. It's ok to make a bigger fuss and dramaticize an issue(even though they really didn't at all, just twitter post and replacing Terry), if you're addressing it in the way to make a statement on the issue. So don't generalize people, MasterofPuppets and realize we all have opinions, some of which others disagree with, and NASL as a premier SC2 organization is trying to appease everyone despite your philosophical views. | ||
