First from my perspective, I was raised well enough to know that when speaking in a public forum you don't fucking swear(I said speaking) and words such as n***er should never be used. Quite frankly it disgusts me when people use that type of language, I almost immediately lose all respect for them if they just throw words like that around. Sure you can try to find loop holes by saying "it really does not have meaning when I say it." But if you have to find a loop hole in the first place then you are doing something wrong.

In terms of gaming, if people are being ass hats in some form of voice chat(xboxlive, vent, etc) I just mute them, or block communication in sc2. I like to think that the people I play with are not mindless losers that just think what they want to think and don't give a fuck if some one else does not like it.

That being said, in some ways Destiny does fall into the type of person I just described, therefore, I avoid him.

As for you, it is rather unfortunate that you have been desensitized by your online social circles, and it is perfectly fine if you do not care, but please do not endorse such childish behaviour.

I'm mostly amazed at the number of people offended by his language. I don't understand how you can be a gamer yourself, use the internet often and NOT come across this sort of thing on a daily basis. Do you enable the profanity filter on everything as well?

Galliano is accused of berating people in a Paris cafe with anti-Semitic comments in February. If convicted, he could face six months in prison and hefty fines.

The British designer was fired from Dior after reports that he yelled ethnic slurs at some customers in a cafe and told a woman that he loved Hitler, and that her parents most likely had been gassed to death.

Agree 100% sir. Game is Rated T.

How could someone who is aware of what a T-Rated game means, make a complain about language usage of a random dude on Internet. COMMON!!!

Here's what esports doesn't need: players that are both terrible at the game and open heteronormative misogynists. Good riddance Destiny. I hope you don't make any other team.

Thats an awfully nice post you have there.
Destiny has done more for ESPORTS than you ever would. He has 1000s of people watching his stream whenever its on and its on most of the time. I personally am not a fan of his stream but he has definitely been a great influence on the observing of the game. Destiny and Complexity broke up on a misunderstanding about the contract. Destiny never wanted to put that level of involvement into a team but if anyone who is bashing him for his lack of involvement of ESPORTS I challenge them to put 1/4 of the involvement to the scene that he does already.

The fact that Destiny got an interview from Forbes shows that his language isn't hurting him. The only other pro sc2 player that might be able to do that is Idra. Nobody else has enough appeal to the mainstream. Destiny is not hurting the sc2 community in any way. He gets it more exposure, and shows that you can make a living off of it while not being top top level. Imo, guys in the "mainstream" sc2 community like incontrol should be promoting destiny. He has the personality the sc2 needs if it wants to stop being a niche game.

The target audience of esports has to be the 16-25 male demographic, that spends a lot of time online. The /b and reddit demographic, and destiny hits that audience perfectly. Which is shown by his extreme popularity streaming. He is a huge asset for any team. They instantly gain thousands of fans and followers just by having destiny wear their tag and having him joke around with their players on skype

I have been watching his stream for a long while and its biggest pull is his adult approach to the game and the Zerg is "underdog" mentality. Him and Idra re what you might call the bad boys of SC2 and this appeals to a lot of people.

As a player he has improved considerably but i think him leaving Complex game could be a bad move in the long run if he wishes to have any notable success in the game.

Laddering will only get you so far before it become counter productive. For Steve to improve he really needs to decide does he want to stream for a living and be popular, or does he want to practice in a team environment day in day out and actually improve to the next level.

At the moment his play is one dimensional and predictable, hence the poor display last night where the opposition clearly knew what he was going to do from the first second of the game and exploited it.

He has the ability to get better but sometimes that simply isn't enough.
