Lashing out against trolls is usually not the way to go if you want to protect someone from them. | ||

Suing 16 year olds because they are "humiliating" Eve. Get real. | ||

However, I have no problem with her suing people who have been creating fake pornographic pictures of her and serious things like that. Not only is it personally humiliating, immensely... disrespectful (for lack of a better word), and borderline traumatizing for a fairly young person, but it also hurts her career as a pro gamer and is therefore jeopardizing her livelihood. In that sense, it is no different then the case with Destiny taking those kids to court for DDoS'ing him and preventing him from streaming, and consequently, from making money and supporting himself and Destiny's Child (pun intended  ).People may be saying that she is overreacting and what not, and I can sort of see that perspective, but I think it is definitely a necessary "overreaction" because without some sort of precedent of action being taken against internet harassers like this, it will never end. No matter whether it was Eve or anyone else, any girl trying to enter the pro scene would have seen this same reaction and that is completely ridiculous and there cannot be any tolerance for that. As far as I know, Eve doesn't even have any sort of history of controversy or drama or anything that people are feeding off of, they are simply harassing her because she is a female pro gamer, and that is it. As for some of her "keyboard battles" with seemingly random people, she was probably a little out of line there and just let her emotions get the best of her. It is hard to blame her for the way she is acting though, seeing as she is also an iconic female in eSports and I'm sure it is really hard for her to see what is happening to Eve and maintain a level head about it. Hopefully she realizes this and steps away from the computer for a while and just takes care of business. | ||

Did you read bits and pieces of the OP and come up with your conclusion? + Show Spoiler + There was an another incident. A 16 years old girl twited ‘We all know Kim Ga Yeon[SlayerS_Jessica] sucks at English.’[This sentence was written without any honorifics, making it quite rude toned]. While it is quite a rude thing to say, the nature of twiter only lets followers see the twits. However, Slayers_Jessica somehow finds this private chat amongst the 16years old girl and her followers then retweets it for everyone to see and publicly starts another fight with her. [Edit 2: She DID NOT sue this girl. she had a public argument, detail in the spoiler] Get real | ||

Do you make a habit of briefly skimming sources that have extremely little information about a topic then making a conclusion about the topic as a whole? It shows that we're only a few hundred thousand years evolved from savage primates whose major accomplishment is a sharpened rock. Now I know why 50% of the American public disagree with 97% of publishing climatologists. It all makes sense now. | ||

I came in expecting to side with the manager on this issue because of the very significant flaming, but I think the manager may indeed be overreacting quite a bit :o It's not evidenced that the assertions made in the OP (or at least the quotation of these assertions from the individual's twitter) w.r.t this incident are factual. | ||

i would get rather offended if someone attacked my team, or my friends like that. though she should just make a public statement, and let the team's actions speak for themselves, rather than going after each individual. really gonna lose a lot of fans by doing this. | ||

Yeah, I'm sure you've thoroughly reviewed the objective function of the SlayerS team and the ways in which the team and its management thinks this addition will achieve these objectives. | ||
