it is no mean feat for a female to reach Master level while laddering against males. This is where you lose me... The admission that even though she's not really good enough, she made the team because she's a girl. This is exactly why people give her shit. | ||

They don't give her enough credit for actually knowing the dangers of cyberbullying, especially in Korean culture. At first, I didn't think things through and worried about her somewhat, thinking she was being a bit naive, but with this clarification and upon further thought, I think that people dismissing her actions for being a big overreaction are truly the naive ones. | ||

Either way it says a lot that you took your time to write it personally, man, says more than any number of press releases has ever done. People will be fucking idiots, there's no way around that. I hope things does improve for Eve though, but I doubt anything will change unless she grows a thicker skin (easier said than done, yes). I don't know exactly how it works in Korea, but I can't see a lawsuit scaring off the ones who really want to be dicks for the sake of being dicks. | ||

Having stumbled across this, I warned him in advance, in case he made the mistake of going too far, that current Korean laws on cybercrime allow punishment for those that circulate rumors about another person, whether the rumor is true or not. Just for clarification, so that it's not just a miss-communication: If you spread the truth about someone else online, you can get punished? Isn't rumor by definition something that is unproven or false? I support the legal actions against the porn-guys and haters spewing insults, but I as far as I know there are girls in Master league (see female cups) and they might have been a better choice. Mentioning her looks as reason for her recruitment also left kind of a bitter taste. Please also understand the gamers, that dream of being part of the SlayerS team and are just below pro-level and then they see a player drafted that has clearly inferior starcraft skills, just because she is a girl. So hopefully you use legal action considerate and with a cool head. | ||

My friend is a female gamer who attended a Halo event with my team as the coach and this was the same sort of reaction toward her as SlayerS EvE. It's pathetic and had hoped the SC community would be more mature than the Halo community but sadly it seems not to be the case. These things can't be helped only ignored sadly. SlayerS hawiting! | ||

I don't support Jessica, because she's given an opportunity to someone far less deserving than the masters and gransmasters players who have done far more to earn a contract. But I also don't support the people who are saying anything worse than what I just said, nor do I support any of the supposed hatred and pictures which I haven't seen. i fully support the last part. you can criticize people and their actions with reasonable arguments and appropriate words like this. (fyi i dont think slayers eve is not deserving her spot and i think kim gayeon had her own reasons as well) | ||

I hope that this gets settled and the flaming stops, almost everyone on TL supports SlayerS and every member of it. I personally know someone who resorted to attempt to suicide because of bullying. Internet bullying is no different. A single person writing a hateful comment isn't that bad. But hundreds of people sharing embarrassing photoshops and hateful comments? That's far enough to ruin a public figure's life. Pushing someone to the limit where he/she ends up even thinking about attempting suicide is nothing less than a Bloodless murder. | ||

While yes what you are doing is just, as some of the things I've seen sent are disgusting and nasty, but does that really mean anyone that criticizes how SlayerS is being run should be labeled as evidence for authority? I dont understand why she doesnt expect criticism when Eve was recruited partially for her looks and has the skills of an amateur, according to Jessica. | ||
