Grubby fanboys seem extremely butthurt over what was essentially a joke. I love grubby and watch him stream all the time, but that doesn't mean Ret should die in a fire because he mocked him a little. When did people get so damn serious?

That's right, that's funny. I'm totally proud for having the same humour as Ret.
It's clearly well thought and well written! Seriously guys, ligten up, it's Ret and teamliquid! How can't we like this post?

It can't be bad intended or offensive right? Not even some sort of personnal hatred towards grubby or something..


Nice,
But I am afraid that the people who liked Ret's "Joke" will agree with you.


Because it was funny. Stop fucking trying to make drama where there is done. Do you actually think Ret dislikes Gurbby and has decided the best way to express that is to make a parody of his 'mentor' post where he acts like there is a homosexual relationship with himself and Demuslim? What kind of fucked up backwards world do you live in where people do that?

No, it's a joke. And it's funny. If you or indeed Grubby are genuinely offended then get thicker skin because you're going to need it.

Lol I can't believe people are actually taking this post seriously and getting upset xD It's a joke people. Laugh and move on.... Was it a bit harsh on grubby? Yeah probably... doesn't mean it wasn't funny. Friendly trash talk is a good thing. I hope to see a witty reply thread by Grubby in the near future!

Woops, I meant to say it wasn't well thought out or funny. But, if you are simply pleasured by half-hearted attempts at parody then this is for you.

awesome amazingly cool news, made my week

- Ret on the original Grubby post, before making this satirical blooper of a bad joke. Imagine if some random dude made this post... LOL it would have been rendered DEAD.

The ret dude comes across as being jealous. Big deal, who cares? Grubby doesnt as he strolls to the bank, with miss fucking china (or whatever that stunner modeled as), a perfect hairline and firm physique. YO!

Well you may not be claiming that Ret despises Grubby and is using this post as a way to attack him, but well done on still coming across like an ass by not-so-subtly implying that your sense of humour is somehow superior to others.

Even if Ret dislikes him why would it matter?

People need to realize this game is just like any other sport. You can dislike and respect a player.

For example I disliked IM_MvP but respected him as a skilled player.

Look at things as an adult here, put whether or not Ret likes/dislikes grubby aside. Understand he respects him as a player but may not like him as a person - whether that's true or not doesn't matter.

Ret pointed out the bullshit by reposting it. What if he wanted to flame on grubby and all his fans for not seeing the subtext. It's absolutely fine for him to do so he's a grown man and as people have said this is liquid's forum they can post what they want.

You shouldn't lose respect for him or think he's immature or get offended. In fact the only person that should be mad is Grubby because he got called out.

Do you think basketball and football players all like eachother? Yeah...
Blame it on my A.D.D

I found Ret's post hilarious. Didn't really see it as insulting homosexuality either.

Grubby is deservedly one of the most popular and respected RTS players in the history. I've never followed WC3, but I still like Grubby as he's always shown good attitude and I don't remember him ever being involved in silly BM incidents.

His thread though, just made me think "What did I just read..."

"Think of my opponents, who have unwittingly sharpened my steel by grinding me on the whetstone of defeat. Think of all the people who have helped me, for no other reason than their passion for the game, or their fandom of me. Helping me with opportunities, coaching, game advice, and anything under the sun - often without having a clear benefit from it."



I don't know guys, maybe it's just me.

I'll be sure to add this abomination of a thread to the list of threads to link people when they have the nerve to say that the SC2 community is "one of the most mature and well-mannered around." Ret makes an obvious troll post and it spawns 38 pages worth of butthurt posts that completely overreact and act like Ret seriously decided to taunt Grubby by coming up with a post full of NO HOMO jokes.

Seriously? What? Who in the fuck thinks like some of these posts in here? This is just a really sad showing here guys. Seriously.

This is not how a representative of esports or team liquid should act. That being said, it was funny as hell.

Well... apparently? Ret's post is an edged parody of Grubby's post and of course such a parody provides means to express a certain statement of critique. Obviously, he doesn't plainly state "I dislike Grubby" and nobody says he thinks so, but (without any judgement) it's impossible to assume Ret had NOTHING in mind but telling a context-less joke.

I don't care about this joke or the underlying oppinion, however I think it's stupid to post a clear parody and then state it was nothing but a joke without any meaning. Come on, Grubby's post was somewhat awkward as well and I don't even think it's bad to point at that, but posting a thread containing the phrase "want to the community to think I'm awesome and kiss my ass" and then relying on "just joking" is ridiculous.
Mutation complete.

I'm not sure what's funnier, the OP (which was a really funny bit of satire of a post just BEGGING to be satired) or the shitstorm that this thread has become. The number of people QQing over this is just absurd. :-)

It's funny how something on TL could actually be considered a troll post. Like a post that the word "trolling" really means... It's pretty epic tbh, not just some shit that a streamer does in game and is trolling. This actually got people mad as fuck :D
