Yup, he's god a kid, no job, and no education while talking about fucking 15 year girls, sexually harassing Mia Rose, giving underage kids alcohol, saying racial slurs daily, and sending pics of his tiny dick. He is just fantastic for the SC2 scene! | ||

ed Destiny's stream and doesn't expect something that may be offensive to someone said, then apparently you don't know the culture that we all come from and, if you ever took the time to actually listen to things that Destiny says during interviews and blogs then you don't know how nice of a guy he is. go to sponsors about positive things so they will support more teams. go to the team first if something negative is going on and let the team deal with it. teams like ROOT already are fighting an up hill battle to get sponsors we should do what we can to make sure they stay around. | ||

She isn't underage, and what she did was illegal and he should seriously consider a lawsuit at the very least, along with pursuing criminal charges. This girl did not have a right to do what she did, no matter her reasons. I am very disappointed that Destiny was fired from root over this, and also disappointed that there are so many people in this "community" that are glad about another human being losing their job. | ||

I applaud catz for this move and honestly didn't think he would have the balls to make it. Mad respect for him that he proved me wrong. Glad he is taking Root more seriously the second time around and wants to turn it into a true professional team, instead of just a clan with friends. | ||

And this.. Was to two people***, not an entire chat room of people, two people that I consider pretty close friends. I never feigned ignorance, just didn't want to get into it right before an MLG. I can't imagine how you can think that people will never, ever, ever talk about anything personal or private amongst their friends. Maybe I'm just stupid, but I can't see myself caring at all if you shared pictures between your close friends, especially given the fact that I'd never see any of them in real life. Glad you think you have a right to every single private conversation I ever have, though. Posting pictures of my dick to 37k people + cutting me off from access to my e-mail/twitter is probably reasonable payback for me discussing something personal with two friends. Thanks for the new work location, I wonder what your boss will think of this. Or your dean, for that matter. I wonder if it'd affect your scholarship or financial aid? Granted this girl did something vindictive and stupid but I wouldn't be sharing nude pictures of any girl if she sent them to me and certainly not if she was 15, and that threat at the end there is just nasty. | ||

Also it would pretty much be an end to his actual relationship (if it isn't irrevocably destroyed now, or if his actual significant other hasn't found out). On the other hand if he could prove she was spying on his computer, then I think legal charges would make sense. I still can't believe you think what Destiny did was okay. Do that at any workplace and you would get fired. | ||

Any opportunity they get to bring Destiny down they will take. Yeah, I imagine it's a small number of people, but, if you put yourself in a position where a small number of people can take you down, you will be taken down. The sad thing is this time it was all private information that was leaked by someone else. The whole racial slur thing was way worse imo. Lots of people have inappropriate conversations with friends, not everyone goes on ladder and calls people racist and homophobic epithets (at least not while playing for a professional team). | ||

Who does the fighting game community discriminate against based on race? Edit: I almost completely missed the fact that you also implied the SC2 and LoL communities are racist. I would also like to know who I, as part of at least one of those communities, am racist against? On topic -> I support Destiny, because his problem is that he tries to live a normal life and be a normal, everyday person, even though he's a public figure. In a community closely connected to the internet. He doesn't want to put on a PR-mask and run a media-friendly theater, and that's why some people decide he's objectively evil and and should be "taught a lesson" by having constant attempts at ruining his livelihood targeted at him. He's a public figure, so people think they have the right and obligation to interfere with his private life and personality. Because somehow a lot of people, if not most, have got it in their heads that other people's personal affairs somehow concern them. I'm not saying the conversation (that we've unfortunately all read by now) was just fine and dandy, but that's what people do. They talk about other people all the time, usually behind their backs. This is a matter that should've been handled between the parties involved, and I'm pretty damn sure everyone who went out of their way to involve themselves and other unrelated parties to it by contacting sponsors and other similar stupid shit are completely aware of it. Just because a private/personal matter is made or otherwise becomes public doesn't mean it's anyone else's business. People are way too quick to judge others completely based on minimal information about them. If it doesn't concern you, it's none of your business, you don't even know any of the parties involved and it's a private matter anyway, just stay out of it. Talk about it and think about it all you want, but don't get involved. It's stupid and unnecessary, even if it is the norm in our culture. Edit: Before you condemn people like Steven for mistakes they make or stupid shit they're part of, ask yourself if you've ever made a mistake or been part of stupid shit yourself. If you're like me, you'll eventually come to the conclusion that that's a part of what it is to be human. So get over it and get on with your life. | ||

You are the same guy he responded to on Reddit. Mean egomaniac is a pretty odd conclusion to be honest. Guys talk about girls like that all the time. He should not have shared the picture, but come on. You are going way overboard. | ||

But possibly destroying destinys future because of that? I mean its not like her nude pics were shared publicly. It's not just you that "feels" like she overreacted, she overreacted on a level that's barely even concievable by a sane, non-sociopathic person. Someone was talking about her behind her back, so she goes out of her way to destroy that person's livelihood. She's insane. | ||
