To reference earlier in this thread - Justin Bieber is a celebrity. Hell, Idra is as much of a celebrity as exists in ESports. Slayers_Jessica is not a celebrity.

Yeah, how dare I create an account to make legit comments on an issue I find intriguing. After lurking for quite a while and playing SC2 since beta, I should definitely feel ashamed of myself for being new to posting on TL.

If this had been a "male", he would not have been on the GSTL team bench the moment he joined, without proving himself in the internal tournaments. The main problem is that SlayerS wanted to rush things and market themselves as a progressive team which has male and female players. Their marketing strategy is too aggressive, and now Eve has to suffer because of her premature introduction to the public E-sports scene.

I know this is a generalisation people wont like the hear, but a lot of people on the internet are assholes or just plain stupid or stobburn or many other reasons they don't have friends and land on the internet. You just can't go suddenly change people's nature

I wonder how she'll feel if one of those names on there was actually someone mentally disabled or someone with an IQ lower than 70/80

eloquently worded, have to agree witch you

on a serious note it's pretty ridiculous the hateful reaction towards eve... I have to white knight for her because she is obviously really cute and it seems people dont understand that its pretty valuable to have a cute gamer girl on your team. It will attract fans / look good in advertisements. No need to go stir crazy and try and bring someone down, she obviously is a big fan of SC2 and was recruited. Slayers can do whatever they want. Do you think Cella is ridiculously professional or something? It's their team let them do as they please.

I just want to make sure I understand this situation properly from start to finish. Is this a correct summery?

1. Slayers Jessica sees Eve, a diamond-level Terran, and decides to recruit her into Slayers, with the idea of having her ready for GSTL after a month or two of training in the Slayers house.
2. The theory behind this was that females didn't play enough SC2 to be "worthy" of joining a team due to the perception that SC2 was a boys' club.
3. By forging a female progamer from scratch, Slayers would make female progaming look a bit less "weird", encouraging more females to try and enter. (And Slayers would have an edge in picking up any pro level females that appeared, because they could claim experience, but this is more of a "to grow esports!" and/or a publicity stunt than a ten-year plan)
4. The foreign community doesn't react too well to this.
5. But the Korean netizens are way way more vitriolic, photoshopping Eve's head into X-rated images and the like.
6. There is a history of celebrities committing suicide over this kind of thing in Korea
7. Thus, Jessica is suing the more extreme posters
8. However, she is also spending a lot of time in very public fights with the less extreme antis, confusing the issue.

Is this accurate?

Jessica is doing 2 things:

-Feeding the trolls
-Getting mad..

this will only empower more "U MAD?" posts towards her.. If I were her i'd just let my skills speak for me.

I think you can simplify it down to:

1) Someone (potentially, I guess, innocent until proven guilty) breaks law.
2) Someone uses justice system to punish them.

I don't understand how there's even any argument if it's an overreaction or not...
