It's not about Destiny. Sure, it sucks for Destiny, but shit like this seems to happen to him more often than not. Destiny had his best MLG run so far in the WR5 then had to forfeit as the news leaked.
What Cajunman is referring to is the fact that people instantly run to sponsors and get someone banned/kicked off teams and such as soon as something bad happens. The fact of the matter sponsors are getting much more bad news than good news, and that can crash any more growth in starcraft 2. It is already struggling for sponsors in Korea, we don't want it to happen in the west.

Seriously. I know for a fact that there were tons of HALO chicks pictures floating around the pro scene. I didn't see any pictures of T2's or Enables dick pop up anywhere because of it.

If people are serious about being professional gamers in a fledgling industry then they have to be better than perfect. Obviously that is an exacting standard but quite frankly it has to be one if people are really serious about turning this into something more than a hobby. And this was a relatively big deal -- if you are the sponsor and your team's biggest achievement at MLG is some guys private parts being shown on the internet? Unless you are viagra, you'd be pretty mad.

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? Holy shit this guy has a fucking nasty personality. What the hell man. Don't do that if you want to be known as being better than that.
destiny has always been the biggest shit shoveler who is adept at giving it out but cant take it. part of the 'new wave' of "lolololol i trol u" types who love to talk shit as if thats trolling and then hate it when people do it back. a decent number of people have seen this for a long time.

It's hard to feel sorry for either one of them. That's what happens when you share naked pictures of yourself on the internet. No surprise there. Her payback was fair, and they should be even. If he emails her boss/dean/etc that's definitely a dick move though, no pun intended. I like Destiny, but it's really time to drop it.

That is their loss. I like fighting games, and while I want fighting game players to be as successful as eSports players I really don't want the FGC in my eSports. The FGC is at least as bad as the SC2/LoL communities, and more racist.

Wow, that misogyny. So granted she's likely not the most intelligent person in the world as she sends naked pictures of herself to someone like Destiny, but then Destiny shares them with people which is NOT acceptable behavior, it's definitely a breach of trust and most women would be less than thrilled about that. So then she reciprocates and she's a "bat shit crazy bitch" for it? It wasn't the mature reaction to be sure, but if it makes her a "bat shit crazy bitch" what does it make Destiny? Both parties involved definitely did the wrong thing.

Because it's his fault someone hacked his shit and posted a picture of his dick right? Yea he was an ass to this poor girl but meh stupid shit like that happens all the damn time. Running to teams sponsors every time something 'bad' happens is beyond fucking lame.
Did no one else grow up with friends who would kick the shit out of tattle tales? This whole crying to the sponsors and drama shit is getting pathetic -.- and I'm not even a destiny fan... I've bashed the dude for being a bad player many times.

Man why do people take pictures of themselves naked and put them on the internet? If they aren't porn stars then it's just a freaking bad idea.
|
in all fairness when something like this happens to celebrities, they usually have lawyers come in, but in this case ROOT is still recovering from its return and they cannot afford a stunt like this. Even if he showed pics of this girl to some friends and talked about her, what guy hasn't? Its funny that she knew his passwords for everything, i mean I think i learned the lesson from having 1 password for everything in like 2001 when my emails, game accounts were compromised. So as many may say "payback is a dish best served cold" and I think destiny will keep his fanbase, but will be team less for awhile if not forever.

I don't really think you can defend Destiny; problems arise when you dick around too much.

Seems necessary... I like Destiny, but he deserves to be released, for the good of Root.
That's pretty much all I can muster to post at the moment, given at how astounded I am at what ended up happening.
One of the many reasons why you don't take pornographic pictures and send them to significant others x.x Unbelievable. How stupid can you possibly be...

Finally? Getting 100+ page threads discussing him and hating on him and having to split ways with Quantic (among other things) wasn't already shit catching up to him?
This makes me really really sad. ROOT just ain't ROOT without Destiny for me, but I will cheer them both on in the future. It sucks that it doesn't matter how much people who actually know him or have met him at MLG say that he's genuine, easy to work with or friendly because it's so easy to judge him harshly based off private shit that gets leaked and blown out of proportion and his views on language.
