not surprised, the amount of jessica's hate is pretty big in everywhere somehow. from the korea which just generally hate jessica for no reason at all to foreigners hating jessica for a drama queen.
Been on slayers stream a few times and there always were these haters posting hate messages only directed to jessica, even if she didn't appear on stream
kind of sad to see so many people not viewing cyber bullying as a serious issue. shame on you guys
and this is more than "insulting" her already, constant harassment is not a simple "insult"

in my opinion, korea has more strict cyberbully laws because of how the culture works.
for example, you can list many celebrities in USA that has done something bad or controversial and they're living on as if nothing happened because people that dont care, care, hate, like, is split along the middle. in korea, a troll can ruin someone's life because the false information will spread like wide fire and cause huge damage to reputation. (example: whathappens-troll vs tablo-celebrity)

Anyhow, if people don't call out atrocious behaviour for what it actually is, then attitudes don't change. For a good example of cultural conditioning, look at the societal attitudes towards drink driving and how they have changed. At least in Ireland it used to be de rigieur to drive home while drunk as a skunk. It was 'the done thing' and nobody saw a problem with it, it took real effort for the practice to be as socially frowned upon as it now is, over years and years of government funded campaigns and grass-roots privately-supported initiatives.
Granted there is a case to be made about crying wolf racism/sexism or what have you. in this specific instance I was under the impression he was using Korean equivalents of cunt and other such pejoratives which are often applied in a misogynist manner. If wrong I stand corrected sexism is alive becuase people want it to be the white knights want sexism to be alive so they can pretend to defend the dainty females females want it to be alive so they can scream it and get people in trouble if everyone jsut forgot that women and men are different, and i mean everyone not just the people throwing insults, then sexism will disapear Ummm what? How old are you dude? lol... You have to be trolling. No way you believe this crap. People WANT it to exist? The only people who do are those who are sexist... man... you are crazy. he isnt wrong. Holding doors for women, paying for dinner for women, thats sexism because you're treating them differently due to their sex bits. Prove this isnt so. Isn't it great that the only one talking about paying for dinners and opening doors is you?  Really though, a guy comes up and says we shouldn't call women cunts. Typical response of "it's sexism to open doors too!" Why yes it would be. It's a good thing supposed "white knights" never really argue that men should open doors for women... They really only ask that men don't treat them bad--not necessarily treat them like paragons. Hmm... I wonder why a man would think that not calling a woman a cunt is equal to treating her like royalty... so are you saying its okay to call men cunts? tahts the problem, why does Jessica have to be a women in this scenario? why is it about what we shouldnt be calling women? why couldnt it have been "we shouldnt call anyone cunt"? becuase people arent interested in defending MEN there interested in defending WOMEN becuase women have painted themselves as these fragile little dainties that need to be protected, then they realised that men were taking it seriosuly, so they started wining that they were being protected like fragile little dainties, that they wanted to be treated equally, but tehy didnt want that, they wanted to be treated exactly like men except also as fragile little dainties Cunt is a pejorative that when used in that context can take on sexist connotations, I don't see how that example is so difficult to understand. To take your logic, I should be, as a white caucasian male, as offended by being called a nigger as somebody who is black right? of course you should, no matter who its said to its the same word, why do you think Orb got fired? He got fired because he lives in a society where saying someone is black is akin to saying he is a weaker/lesser/dumber human being. It must be obvious that the reason the N word is racist is because it's a word that is used to define someone as being less than human by saying they are just like negros--with the implicit understanding that negros are less than human. no he got fired becuase he used a heavy insult and got caught
Ohhhh so cunt is not a heavy insult... how much does it weigh?

Korea is different. To simply log onto most websites/games etc. you need to use your Korean social security number. Any person who defames another via internet in Korea can be hunted down and prosecuted.

if making a new account was so easy this dude wouldnt get caught, im pretty sure in Korea making an account is alot harder then just coming up with a new username

the dude who was trolling probably doesnt give 2 cents what gender she is and was just having fun trolling if a male was doing Jessicas job and acted jsut like jessica has the dude would still have been on that chout shouting obsenities, possibly even the same ones insults are pretty universal now
the real problem with the world is people like YOU not him, he doesnt care about the gender, you do becuase Jessica is a women you consider it our job to protect her, if it was a dude you probably wouldnt care at all and jsut say he needed thicker skin, but becuase its a women allofasudden this is a big huge deal that everyone should stop and halp console Jessica after her terrible ordeal

I defended Orb in that particular instance as he used nigger as a generalcurseword, divorced from any kind of racist intent. Use of the word cunt, with the associated anti-woman connotations, against a woman is different in that sense.
I am not being hypocritical with regards to the Orb instance, I felt that he was just venting and in an impersonal environment (i.e your usernames are divorced from your real life personna). For example, I don't mind getting a ton of BM on Starcraft, but would get irritated if it was to spread and constitute spamming of my Facebook, which I use to connect and interact with friends and associates if that makes sense. I also felt that Orb was singled out by jealous people who are pissed that he was making it in an area of life that they'd like it to. Not everybody who censured him of course fits that description, that'd be silly but there was a signficant minority, especially on Reddit who to me fell into this bracket.
Incidentally back to the Jessica point. Stream chat and ad revenue has a commercial benefit for the Slayers team and her, and if the fan/star dialogue is what attracts people (at least partly) then surely she has some motivation in that sense too? Trolls/spammers are close to a DDoS when it comes to any kind of live chat, there is too much information for anybody in the chat to strike up any kind of dialogue, which is a real shame.

I disagree. You should be able to act the way you'd like. Punishments shouldn't be serious for offending people with harmless words. I disagree.

a new account doesnt get around it unless you also have a new IP to go with it. you know nothing of I.P.

To take your logic, I should be, as a white caucasian male, as offended by being called a nigger as somebody who is black right? of course you should, no matter who its said to its the same word, why do you think Orb got fired? He got fired because he lives in a society where saying someone is black is akin to saying he is a weaker/lesser/dumber human being. It must be obvious that the reason the N word is racist is because it's a word that is used to define someone as being less than human by saying they are just like negros--with the implicit understanding that negros are less than human. no he got fired becuase he used a heavy insult and got caught Ohhhh so cunt is not a heavy insult... how much does it weigh?
when did i ever say it wasnt a heavy insult?
however it wasnt Mr.Chae throwing the insult around so i guess you could say that it weighs as much as your public image and since it was a random chat troll... nothing
although since this is going to court it probably is very very heavy

around 2.68 newtons. nigger weighs about or greater than 9000 newtons.
Also, Orb got fired for lying, the same way clinton got impeached for lying.

yeah. that means travel time. Thats not instant, and as each spot gets shut down, the individual ahs to move further and spend more time going to different spots. Eventually the cost of time will outweigh the benefit of getting back into the chat.

So being an asshole is now illegal? Nice freedom.
This reminds me of an old story about a poor guy living above a fancy restaurant. He would eat every meal (plain rice) at the same time the restaurant was cooking, so he could taste the smell of the feast below his apartment.
The owner of the restaurant sued him for stealing his food's scent. The judge convicted the poor guy to pay with the sound of some coins every time he steals the aroma.

This thread kind of disturbs me.
Why do people think trolling is okay? Why is someone facing a repercussion from trolling a bad thing?
Why is taking away peoples abilities to go be a complete douche-fuck on the internet a bad thing? And how does it reflect our image as a community, as TL, as gamers when we have people tolerating and supporting classless acts like these.
Yeah, thats what I was thinking.
I thought you were better than this TL.

The reason people are invoking the sexism angle is because it's probably a motivating factor in the initial chat. I grow more and more uneasy with the increase in outright, horrendous misogyny. Hey I'm all for a risque sexist joke, if there's some wit involved, but the spewing of such bile makes me worry that societal attitudes towards women will change for the worse. Bear in mind this from personal recollection rather than anything backed empirically
Of course I'm a 'white knight' for believing that somebody having different reproductive organs to me doesn't give me carte blanche to abuse them. the dude who was trolling probably doesnt give 2 cents what gender she is and was just having fun trolling if a male was doing Jessicas job and acted jsut like jessica has the dude would still have been on that chout shouting obsenities, possibly even the same ones insults are pretty universal now the real problem with the world is people like YOU not him, he doesnt care about the gender, you do becuase Jessica is a women you consider it our job to protect her, if it was a dude you probably wouldnt care at all and jsut say he needed thicker skin, but becuase its a women allofasudden this is a big huge deal that everyone should stop and halp console Jessica after her terrible ordeal sexism is pretty much dead, the only people keeping it alive is people who make such a huge deal over stuff like this and keep it at the top of peoples minds
This is an issue this community is sharply divided over. I think we should accept that we stand divided on this issue but in the end it doesen't matter, because society has already decided (in forms of laws) what is acceptable and what not. This guy is getting sued and people like Wombat and me think it's right, people like you think it is not.
In my opinion it is the exact opposite way, Racism and Sexism are still a problem because of people who constantly try to downplay it every opportunity they get while it still is a big problem in our society. Noone ever said we should all "console" Jessica but we should make a stand that sexually harassing a woman is wrong. It seems like a no-brainer for me.
