The whole issue is whether it's reasonable to be offended by inappropriate metaphors, because they denigrate or demean the group/crime used as the metaphor. And for Destiny to claim he doesn't mean anything sexual by using "rape" in a gaming context, please. He goes into great poetic lengths to not just say "rape", but conjure up extremely graphic images of "violating the anal crevices" of someone (timestamped link to video). There is absolutely no way to sidestep the fact that he considers graphically detailed recounts of sexual assault an appropriate metaphor for being beaten in a computer game. | ||

What would we do if he left us for WoW forever? He's not the only one, but he is one of the very few that has as much experience as him and knows enough people personally. There aren't a lot of people out there that can a) have good production, b) have top pros join in and c) do it all on short notice. No one wants to see 4 or 5 random guys with terrible audio/video production with no experience whatsoever being a pro and/or working with pros on a regular basis try to talk about MLG Columbus or the Starcraft 2 pro scene in general. | ||

I'm sorry, but I can't read this with a straight face, and I'm almost requesting a forceful reprieve from the forums because idiots like you post shit like this without a POSSIBLE thought. Saying "n-word" instead of "nigger" when EVERYONE IN THE THREAD knows what you're talking about? ARE YOU SERIOUS?! You're referring to the SAME THING, it doesn't change ANYTHING. Also, SECOND RATE? SECOND RATE RAPPERS? Like WHO? Kanye West, Jay-Z, Tupac, Kid Cuddi, DMX, Ja Rule, Drake, Nelly, etc...etc...are all second rate rappers? Comedians like George Carlin, Katt Williams, Chris Rock, Louis CK, etc...are all second rate comedians? Seriously? There's no possible way an intelligent thought could have existed between the ears the person constructing this post. I read your edit, it's equally idiotic, you obviously don't understand ANYTHING about the philosophies of AT LEAST George Carlin for you to make a statement like that. I'm gone from this thread, sorry. Some of you are attempting to make coherent arguments, as there ARE valid arguments against what I'm saying, but most of you are uttering absolute non-sense with absolutely no valid or rational backings to whatever you're saying. Posters like the one I've quoted are literally destroying this planet with their sheepish attitudes and immature views of the world. | ||

They might be making it a little more boring.  And I'm sorry, but a lot of those artists and comedians you referred to used these 'controversial' words as part of an narrative, and usually to make a greater point about language, politics and social conformity. You typically use these words to vent, which is also immature. I respectfully must insist there is a difference. | ||

You made that sound as if he was actually born in Azeroth. =D He's probably attached to SC2 scene a lot more at this point anyway. He's like Masters league himself now. I can't imagine him going back to WoW at this point. =P | ||

Kanye,,Kuddi,,Ja Rule,, Drake,, and Nelly are all second rate rappers,, Jay-Z has left his mark,, so has DMX,, Tupac is Tupac.. Not sure why i posted this,, but whenever music and stuff comes up i have to involve myself even though it has nothing to do with the REAL subject. As far as the real subject goes,, i mostly agree with your standpoint,, i do understand why some people don't though. | ||

Do you promise you won't come back? :D Sorry so many of us are so immature and unintelligent, but i do know where the progressive sophisticated audience is that might satisfy you and appreviate your content, its called the schoolyard, bye bye | ||

JP moving to Galveston certainly would explain why the show is going on hiatus for a bit while he takes care of that. I wonder if SotG and SC Center might become MLG-produced shows in the future. Probably SC Center more likely than SotG, doubt MLG wants to be too closely associated with such a controversial show. | ||

Did anything come of that exclusive interview JP had of David Kim from the HotS press event about multiplayer that was supposed to be shown during MLG? Apologies if this has been answered and I just missed it. | ||
