I guess he's insane too. I'm sure if you had nude pics of yourself posted and you found out you would be okay with it. | ||

I was a fan of ROOT because I thought money was less important to them than standing up for their dream and what they believe in. It would not be hard for ROOT to stand behind Steven in this case. This is not a big deal. The pressure the sponsors felt was minor (messages on boards are not directly translated into money) and the pressure they put on ROOT was silly. Yes silly sponsor pressure. If you think next time we get a sponsor they wont get spammed with emails about this and past incidents, then perhaps. But this was a really hard decision for us all, and I assure you it hurts me more than you having had to do this. We stood and we stand behind our players and friends a lot, but when having Steven on the team becomes a liability and potentially an obstacle for everyone else on the team to continue to move forward, a hard decision has to be made. This was a problem, and as much as we sat and thought about ways to go arround it, this was what we think to be the better, and perhaps only realistic solution. We want to continue to grow, we want to have a large budget and stay in eSports, and we need, good old silly sponsors, as I stated, this was not a decision made by our current sponsors, they were both very understanding of the situation, it was made by ROOT's managament, myself included, for what I believe is the greater good of the team and all of the people who work hard to help it succeed. | ||

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. Yeah, that threat it pretty classless, but then again Destiny used to clean carpets for a living and is now making a living of entertaining people on a stream by spouting crude shit nonstop. | ||

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. The FGC is infinitely more ethnically diverse than esports and accepting because they have to be. They have too many diffrerent kinds of people interacting to be able to exist without at least being tolerant of each other. They actually have black people playing their games, unlike esports (as a whole, not in an absolute sense). | ||

Correct, but my point was that their solution is to always go to the very top and inflict as much unnecessary damage as possible. It's a similar issue as the EG/orb thing. This particular instance was 'more' justified, but it's still wrong. When a player does something that you don't like, you complain to his team or his PERSONAL sponsors (if he/she has any). Going to the very top and complaining to the ROOT sponsors about Destiny's mess is inappropriate. Complaints to the ROOT sponsors directly should only happen when the collective organization (ROOT) or leader of said organization (CatZ) does something out of line. | ||

He is just fantastic for the SC2 scene! Bro, are you actually stupid? First off, streaming is his job. Second, I'm pretty sure he's got a education from what I've heard. Bluetea is not underaged, and I don't think he ever said he wanted to fuck her. When did he give underaged kids alcohol? And I think his dick is slightly above average, after studying it for 5 hours (that was a joke). And yes, he brings a bit of adult humor to the scene...You probably just want the SC2 scene to be PG 13 don't you? | ||
