It's not the case that bad things always get people fired, or that people who don't do bad things don't get fired. There are ethical bases for an expectation of privacy. What's the reason I should care at all what other people do in private?

Whoever wrote into sponsors must have had dubious motivations and a tenuous connection to the community, as they apparently don't know anything about Starcraft | ||

Idra is a dick, he got some shit for being an ass to avilo. Nothing like this. But, still, he isn't without critics. People despise EG as a whole.. | ||

Keep streaming Steven, please be more careful an grow up just a tad. Nobody's leaked private chats of them. I'm sure if we had limitless access to private pro conversations, a lot of players would be vilified. | ||

Any team that would support a low life like Destiny obviously has no place in E-Sports. If Aaron Rodgers acted like Destiny do you think he would still be playing in the NFL? I don't think so. This whole incident really shows his own level of insecurity.. Going behind a friend's back and doing some shit like he did is just disgusting.. The girl trusted him with the pictures, but he went and gave them out to friends... The worst part of all of this is obviously him sending her a picture of his dong. I honestly thought that weird lonely guys on chat roulette did that sorta stuff, and not someone who's suppose to be a "Professional" gamer. It's quite unfortunate that someone with so much talent and intelligence could be such a horrible person.. But his actions still don't surprise me lol Good move ROOT Wait, so what you're saying is that it's alright for a female to send nudes to a guy, but not the other way around? And if you do send pictures of your dong to a girl, especially after she had sent nudes to you, you're weird and lonely? God damn mang, you just went full derp. | ||

Anyway, I don't see the point of what exactly the sponsors want is any relevant to this issues. The point is that you can get fired for participating or doing things that has no correlation with the job you have at hand. Conduct yourself as such so you don't get under scrutiny in these problems Or maybe employers should gain more of a sense of perspective about things. I've heard of people who get fired for what's on their social networking page or whatever. I dislike this growing erosion of the divide between private conduct and public conduct I suppose. In this case I don't think Destiny was wise, but equally his behaviour is that terrible. Again though, he's pretty much earning money from streaming so it's not equivalent to getting fired I suppose. A good comparison is actually Anthony Wiener. Of course he was a member of the House of Representatives, so when his penis pic got leaked he was going to have to resign. However as I saw him he was a pretty open and relatively courageous legislator, or at least actually vouched for his district. It's just sad that we live in a world where getting your penis out is a much more egregious offense than rank incompetence or any other number of things you want to name. | ||

Honestly you are just making things worse for Destiny, you really should stop arguing. | ||

ROOT doesn't need him and his absurd personal drama, destiny doesn't need ROOT, what's the problem besides that destiny can't stop sabotaging himself and that some people are sad because even destiny's friends have to professionally disassociate themselves with his BS? | ||
