He seems to focus on a few specific words, but waves away his own faults with a"I could do better as well" when he offends people. Or, you know, his teammate (idra) telling people (minigun) to go kill themselves on stream. | ||

If it was such a big deal, wouldnt you think alot more would cry out? There was a pretty big outcry to the when cheese fails segment on NASL mostly because of the excessive use of the word rape iirc. | ||

IdrA's language represents the SC2 community more than anyone else's. 99% of idra's "bm" is telling other players they are bad. Not really offensive to anyone. The occasional "waste of life" isn't taken seriously by anyone who isn't an idiot. If idra had the option to let someone die or to save their life, do people really think he would let someone like cruncher die because he dislikes him in a video game? | ||

Others (HBO, Showcase) cater to a small specific audience. Nothing is censored... there is sex, violence, swearing, whatever you can think of. That's the difference between incontrol and destiny. Destiny's stream caters to his viewers... they enjoy his personality and use of language. He can't change or he will suffer in viewership. He specifically said if he was catering to a public audience (casting a tournament for example) he would censor himself. | ||

Its about behavior more than anything and destiny uses context as nothing more than an excuse for what is nothing more than acting like a 15 year old. Its one thing to swear or say things in the heat of the moment occasionally, its another all together to do it constantly; simply a reflection of his personality which is nothing more than crude. the crux of the argument is you're not forced to listen to him be crude. ever. you have the option of many other streams, or many other tournaments, if you disagree with the language standards somewhere. | ||

It's reminiscent of the argument that you shouldn't make jokes about the Holocaust, before The Producers came out. | ||

What is the deal with the balance of discussion topics on this show? ;x yea its real important to discuss in detail a few units from the single player campaign that may never see competitive play because the game isn't even in beta yea. | ||
