Stephano suspended by Evil Geniuses - Page 110

"I might only be interested in milfs and kids now"
The difference is not huge, but the second one is less coherent.
I mean, let's step away from point scoring thing and ask what he really truly meant by that. I have no idea, personally. I can't imagine saying that in any context, regardless of what was going on in my brain. I don't know if there is previous conversation between these two people that makes sense out of that.
Do you think he is expressing real sexual interest in children and attractive 30-something women?
Also, is there more context to this than just those two screen shots? Because the first one the other guy is talking about sex, but he never says that. That cuts both ways though, because I don't know if there is previous conversation between these two people that would so rapidly lead the second guy to conclude that it's about sex.
I can't conclude from this what he's thinking, if anything.

I just dont see how this could be construed as a joke by so many people. Its pretty obvious it wasnt. Its also pretty obvious he wasnt talking about actually abusing someone, its just slightly lost in translation but not to far off from saying "i violated such and such" which is said all the time and is referring to sex not abuse.

Bling clearly thought it wasnt a joke, as he was trying to clarify what he said, and also in a way (this is just my interpretation) it almost sounds like stephano banged some chick and then realized after that she was underage, was surprised about it and then told someone.

As for the whole milf thing, im sure there is another story about him banging an older women. They could both be lies (young men lie about having sex all the time) but i would hardly consider them jokes. I speak both french and english and aside from the abuse being just slightly the wrong word i dont see how much could be lost in translation in terms of a joke.

IF it was about someone much younger than that, sure i would beleive it was a joke like a 10 year old or 5 year old, a really sick joke, but a joke none the less. When i was 18 i went out with someone that was 15 ( a year difference on both sides from this situation) and although this situation is twisted and possibly illegal i dont think its too farfetched of a thing to happen.

If by people you mean reddit who constantly go on self styled crusades to make themselves feel important. That this sort of thing can from a site known for posting jail bait and borderline illegal images of minors I consider it close to the best example of hypocrisy I have seen in a long time.

You didn't add anything. People weren't unhappy that Stephano said something on battle.net in another guy's stream, it snowballed from people with a grudge on SRS getting mad and emailing sponsors.

Reddit is hardly known for jailbait (as in "famous for"). I just can't imagine Obama doing an AMA on a site like that lol.



Obviously there are a lot of people who are unhappy with Stephano. Otherwise this thread wouldn't be over 100 pages long. From your point of view SRS picks up the subject and people magically start changing their opinions in a "snowball effect". Are those SRS guys wizards, capable of mind control?

Man, I wish the places I've worked at where as lineant as EG. If I made a joke about raping a 14 year old at work (in French when you say you abuse a child the connotation is that it's sexual abuse, so as a native French speaker that's how I read Stephano's comment) I would be out of a job the second management got wind of it.

And before anyone says anything, yes, Stephano made those comments at work. His job is to play StarCraft. And, if I may add, he is presumably payed a lot of money to do so. You can say it was between friends all you want, when you are on the clock there are things you just can't do, even when around friends. Making casual jokes about rape, especially the rape of a minor, is one of them.

Frankly, Stephano is lucky he is so hard to replace for EG. In "the real world" he'd be out of a job.

What's the best thing about 23 year olds?


There's 20 of them.

You're supposed to write the 23 as 'twenty-three'.

I honestly don't see why this is a big deal. If I said, "I killed a man in Reno just to watch him die", would that be considered horribly shocking, or would people realize that I didn't mean it seriously?

And if the latter, then what makes child abuse worse than murder?

His job is to generate eyeballs. He clearly does it very well.

I think the more important debate is: why was this considered wrong, and is it? The actual act (if he's guilty of it) should be dealt with differently than a joke. But yes, that might be why he's only suspended?
