except no matter how big esports gets, its not being aimed at the old or soft hearted? we are playing a game where the main objective is to kill people. if your ok with that but get offended by the word rape you need to get a reality check.
the same arguements that apply to why its ok to kill things in a video game but not in real life apply to why its ok to say someone was raped in the game without it being ok to talk about raping things in real life.

For all intents we are playing a war game. In what part of the civilized world is rape justifiable even in war time? I think it's your sense of reality that is a little off

"SixPoolGaming isn't a coaching website. It is a video training website, and therefore won't conflict. I wouldn't worry about it if I were you."
Thank you for clarifying that!

The benefit of SixPoolGaming is that you can get a lot of the learning for a cheaper price. For example, you could watch training videos of IdrA through SixPoolGaming for a fraction of the price of getting him to coach you for 1 hour. You can go at your own pace, and where with coaching you're getting exclusively taught by one player, with SixPoolGaming you have the resources of all of our pros!

Will there be free content initially so we have something to base a decision whether to pay or not on? Very wary of paying for a product without some evidence of it upfront after NASL.

Ohhhh. That is an interesting aspect to do it. I hope it works out for SPG then because it seems video/stream training is the way to go now a days. Good luck to them!

Just more immature adults trying to take advantage of a teenager's parents credit card to make more money for themselves while disguising it as growing e-sports.
But hey if a teenager is dumb enough to spend his allowance on something he can basically get for free, then go for it. Just know you are lining someones pockets

People pay for Poker training videos, people pay for Basketball training videos, and people pay for Starcraft training videos. Who are you to say which is a smart or dumb decision? The great thing about this world is that people have freedom to decide what they want to buy or not. If you want to get free stuff on youtube, more power to you... if people want to pay for video training, more power to them.

You do realize that the word rape doesn't necessarily refer to sexual assault. Go check a dictionary. Would it also be inappropriate for a caster to use the word murder? In my eyes murder is worse than rape... I hope you see the foolishness of your opinion and realize that commentary on a violent game will contain violent words. People need to be less concerned with political correctness and be reasonable.

You're right instead of trying to draw parallels to the most common definition of the word for which 99% of the time it is used for, they are instead actually trying to say something else entirely. How foolish of people to make this silly mistake.
This is like the bundle of sticks defense for calling people faggots. Honestly why even bother?
Moral debates are pointless. Do you know what it's like to be dead? How about raped? Me neither on both counts. I am sure you have radical and truly compelling reasons why we should be allowed to make rape jokes all day, but at the end of the day they aren't tasteful in the eyes of most people, and your personal opinion is irrelevant.

wanna take a second shot at reading what i actually said?

No because it's just some tired variation of the same thing every teenage boy thinks is some revelation on how offensive and edgy we should and should not be in public, the honest truth is no one gives a shit
