It could be "unambiguously interpreted as a crime", by a retard at least, so I agree with you. And now my thoughts on this drama: 1. Stephano was silly to say what he said given that everything you say whether on stream or off stream is memorialized in a game file and thus potentially subject to public scrutiny. He should have been aware of the risk that something like what happened would happen. He's thus partly to blame, but only because he's a public figure, not because of the substance of what he said. 2. The people who are bothered by such statements should simply either stop watching games played by Stephano or kill themselves (I'm fine with either alternative) rather than expend time and energy e-mailing sponsors and getting bent out of shape by off-color jokes and attempting to punish Stephano. The same strand of crazy, misinformed, idiotic energy that causes people to go off the deep end when they hear a rape joke is what leads preposterously devout muslims to physically attack newspapers, etc. that make jokes about mohammed. It isn't a healthy energy and should and would, in a perfect world, be punished. | ||

I agree with both points, but unfortunately the group you labelled under 2 would not "simply either stop watching games played by Stephano or kill themselves". So EG must do what it did to preserve its appearance. | ||

Minor means below 18, while the age of consent in most countries is 15 or 16. Quite the difference. Also she worked in a legal (?) bordel. If there is one place where you wouldnt expect minors its obv a bordel. I cheer for Stephano as well, but some french fanboys here are ridicolous. Ofc people get offended if sb is stating he just abused a 14 year old girl. How people can not understand that is really beyond me. | ||

In France a joke like would never have been taken so seriously, everyday we see humorists on TV joking about these tragic incidents and even worse. I'm suspecting a cultural gap between a conservative society like USA and a more "liberal" one about those stuffs. I don't know, i'm even assuming doing the exact same joke with my friends, like a meme. There absolutly nothing to complain about. EG is just robbing him. Stop saying France cause as a international figure he doesn't just belong to france. Thing is where he is from he is considered and adult he should act like it. | ||
