Also, why are they going on about racial slurs, when the use of "faggot" is so much more common for all of these? Is it uncomfortable or hypocritical, since so many players, casual or pro, use it ad nauseum? there are more minorities than homosexuals. and the minority homosexuals that would get offended by "faggot" also get offended by racial slurs. | ||

If it was such a big deal, wouldnt you think alot more would cry out? | ||

Yet is the most critical person ever of someone censoring themselves ('selling out') to try and cater to mainstream audiences. How can someone not see what is going on.... Toning down isnt catering to the mainstream ... it is RESPECTING the opinion of the masses ... which is basically the linguistic culture of your nation. "With great power comes great responsibility." - Spiderman ... casters have great power, thus they have the responsibility whether they want or not. If they dont want to respect the "opinion of the majority" it is their choice, but they are the ones who are destructive. @JP: The next bunker change is a change to the color of the access hatch knob. It was OP. | ||

That's like wondering why homophobic or racial slurs are so common, because the majority of players don't believe those words apply to them...which is why they feel so comfortable using them. They shouldn't | ||

The fact of the matter is that the two streams that pull the highest consistent numbers both contain offensive language and when it's used, we laugh about it and enjoy it. IdrA's language represents the SC2 community more than anyone else's. | ||
