They said in their statement that they won't be taking him back at all, which sucks bad :L Maybe its the right decision, maybe its not. I'm in no place to judge. | ||

 and other derogatory terms for ethnical groups quite convienently. Interestingly when i confront them with their "racist" wording all of them stress the fact that they are not racist. How come terms like that are used so often without even thinking about it? I've never used any racist words while raging since there are so many other insults you can use.P.S.: I have to mention that it mostly happens in non-SC2-communities. | ||

It may seem harsh to some people, but at some point a stand needs to be taken against the racism, homophobia and misogyny that sadly remains rampant in gaming today. No, you don't have some god given constitutional right to call people a "faggot" and a "nigger" over the internet and get away with it, there's plenty of other insults you can use if you genuinely can't manage your temper. Only racists, bigots and homophobes are the ones who truly want to ban these words, as by doing that, they will reinforce the differences between the sexes and the races. | ||

Until then, one of my favorite casters has departed my favorite team, and this makes me sad. We'd all be better for tolerating racist and homophobic rants? Come on man, really? | ||

IBanning words like nigger and faggot, makes you a racists and a homophobe, as you permanently define and highlight the differences between the sexes and the races. If people like you would stop seeing it as racism and bigotism, then te words would lose those meaings. You are seriously, the only ones who think they are either racists or homophobic. | ||

Oh, wait, he didn't? Because the way he was using the word made it interchangeable with any vulgarity? It had no racial meaning? Oh yeah, you're taking it out of context. EDIT: Zergmeister, what you said. | ||

When people consider words like nigger to be so powerfully racist, regardless of context, all they do is highlight the differences between races, when in reality, we should be striving to eliminate most considerations of race. Same reason hate crime legislation is an incredibly stupid thing. When people make such a big deal about race, you only greater bigger racial divides. | ||

I find it absolutely pathetic that people find the N word offensive when its part of the online community to begin with. Nobody gets pissed off and starts chatting "Ooh f you, you" mick, yank, wetback, or other derogatory terms consistantly.. Ooh noo, it's the N word. And suddenly every african american flips shit over it. WELCOME TO THE INTERNET. You're unbelievably wrong. If you really think that this has anything to do with the internet, go out to the real world and start calling everyone a nigger. See how far that gets you. The only internet thing here is, that there are actual (male white heterosexual) kids thinking it's totally okay to use those words and are shocked if they get called out for it. | ||
