Exactly, some people are calling Tasteless out just because they somewhat empathize with the guy. To me he was just telling a funny story.

No big deal either way.


So can we openly call out idiots in the strategy section then? Since you know, the world needs more of it.


If someone opens a strategy thread and writes something retarded they'll get banned and that's enough proof of him being an idiot.

My reaction is that this guy deserves tasteless' public joking/call out. Just because hes sorry, just because he was having a bad day, doesnt excuse the stupidity of his actions. And honestly, what tasteless said isn't even that offensive. I'll admit that this guy is probably a super sensitive person so he cares that much more but it doesnt make me feel any bad for him.

That guy should never have made that post, because all it's doing is causing unnecessary drama. Whether he choked or not, he apparently was completely disrespectful to Tasteless and John in the studio. Stories like that are funny on air, and people like it. Fact is the guy acted like a douche bag and he's causing some really unnecessary hate for Tasteless when he should have just not made a public post at all.

my own veiw is that the guy shouldnt have done wat he did at the same time i dont think u should said "some people just dont know, what its like to be human" i couldnt believe u said that (rewatched it three times to be sure)



I interpreted that sentence as, humans make mistakes, so if you don't make mistakes, you don't know what it's like to be human. Let's hope he meant that and the other guy interpreted that. I don't think it matters that much though, the worst case scenario (this scenario) the other guy feels like an ass even though it was a honest mistake. It won't have any consequences or something for anybody.

edit: also agreed with the guy above me

I was going to make myself some tea when i saw christmas cards over the sink, and i thought this guy knows ur name, place of work and appearance wat do u know about him zip (from the santa clause song he knows where u are sleeping he knows when ur awake), after that i relised all that has been said before is academic u can never predicate wat people will do especially those who seem somewhat unstable.

this is not directed at anyone or to enforce a veiw it is just a musing but a potentially frigtening one.

While it's true that John's English isn't perfect, I think that he tries really hard to improve himself and do whatever he can to keep his job. It was WAY out of the line for this guy to march in there and ask for a job like that.

It was just a casual story, the only ones who actually know this "visitor guy " is tasteless and john.

Also he wasn't really flaming the guy, more like he just wanted to share the story.

Hey Anonymous guy, I know you're reading this. If you ever want to feel better about this situation you have to go back to tasteless and john and apologize in person. Apologizing anonymously on the internet isn't enough.

TBH it was clear that the guy thought John was a producer - as evidenced by the fact that he went and asked John HIMSELF, if he could have the job. If he had known that John was himself just a hired translator and not a producer, he wouldnt have asked him in the first place :S. I agree that it was quiet stupid to do something without researching it first. However there is a place and a time to say certain things , and doing it on a live telecast in front of thousands of people is NOT one of those places.

you did a mistake and you did it right.
Yes is was not nice and now you feel bad for your mistake.
But you would feel much worser if you never go there. Than you would never know its his main job and you would allways ask yourself: "did i miss this chance because i didnt had the balls to go there..."

Tasteless and John are friends right?
I can understand that you're getting furious when sb walks up to ur friend and basicly says that he sucks at his job.
But i can't really blame the guy, i felt really sorry for him while reading his story, plus he had the courage to openly apologize for what happened.

Tasteless should apologize for saying about it on the stream, was not the place or time for it. Very unprofessional of him.

well.. If he is better than John, why not? GSL is the biggest competition in the world and John is not a professional translator so... I mean better translator would be a nice option for GOM and viewers. I think there are many stuffs John can do even if he doesn't take the translate part.

I think that Tasteless wasn't completely out of line, though it still is something weird to tell in a live cast, that kind of stuff is usually kept under wraps in things requiring high production values. It's a little "unprofessional" by Tasteless, but it isn't something to make too much of a fuss about.

I think bad things came together. A person made a silly request in the wrong way, tasteless decided to joke about it, and the affected person is, apparently, very anxious and sensitive, and thus, was deeply affected. I don't think it's something severe, but Tasteless showed some bad situation handling there, this shouldn't repeat itself.

Is it not better to give and receive an apology in person? As it stands now, this guy sends an open letter apology and shames tasteless into apologizing. That wouldn't be good enough for me to feel better about it.
