EPTNext on Reddit: groups being made to regularly check trash cans of pro gamers for evidence of misbehave. I wouldn't be surprised. :/

Alex is verbose, and you owe it to yourself (and the rest of us) to read the statement in its entirety. Remember, when making comments/claims to provide proper evidence, facts etc. Arguments based on incorrect assumptions, facts and straw men, will be dealt with swiftly. If in doubt, PM a mod or ask IRC. Do NOT spread misinformation, when in doubt, check your sources. In short, be smart.

I've never heard a racist comment on your stream or anything else that is offensive. You're a beacon of light in this community NoNy!  | ||

It just shows that the taboo the word has in the world, most especially American society, is so extreme even saying it in a completely different, racially-empty context is considered the greatest transgression. America, get over your guilt complex. This is bad logic. "Nigger" has huge societal implications and is a unique word and that warrants unique treatment. Alex (ottersareneat? Mr. Garfield? idk) made a good argument for why it carries so much weight, you just sort of ignored this. | ||

 Seems reasonable to me to give an organization a few days to figure situations like these out; I'm surprised people were already raging at sponsors within a day. Hopefully no lasting damage was done, especially since you acted pretty fast all things considered. | ||
