.... just a joke and you have 1000 crazy people who wants to see him dead or spam (in his stream) "Stephano raped my 11 old daughter". The politically correct is strong in internet. Maybe some guys must spent more time to hunt real pedo (but it's maybe more difficult for them and less funny).

People don't seem to realize that Stephano is also responsible for portraying a good image for all the sponsors and the rest of the team. Nobody in NA wants to be associated with what would be considered pedophilia, especially the sponsors. For those of you who follow American football, we just had that huge Sandusky scandal in college football. EG is an NA team and most of the sponsors that support them are based in NA. Though the Jerry Sandusky scandal and the Stephano comment are on completely different scales, it portrays a poor image. Very sensitive topic in the U.S.

Also if people want to see esports grow to the popularity of regular sports, the players have to act accordingly. People who act out of like in American sports also get disciplined. You don't see professional football/soccer/baseball players going around saying they want to abuse 14 year olds. And if they did, you would definitely see some kind of action taken by either the teams management or from the community.

This is simply a necessary business decision by EG. Given the black and white nature of the corporate world, there is no way that they could risk the loss of a big sponsor by letting something like this slide, regardless if it was a terrible joke or even worse, the truth.. Sure, to some, idra can come across as distasteful, however i think that the line would be drawn if he ever ventured into the realm of self proclaimed illegal acts.

Ding ding ding! This is the long and short of the issue. All the other talk about what is and isn't acceptable or moral or legal is tangential to the actual specific case we are dealing with.

How can anyone in their right mind think it is appropriate for EG to censor what Stephano writes privately to someone? Absolutely horrible. Dumb dumb bling showing it to butthurt viewers.

It ended up becoming public, ie: not private anymore. Therefore Stephano has to be held accountable. Because the words did come out into the open he has already tarnished the images of companies and himself and other players. You could also argue "How can anyone in their right mind think its appropriate to say something like that over the internet or through SC2?" The amount of players that stream their play whether they are professional players or not is pretty high. Why say something like that when you don't have complete anonymity? If he were going to say it, he should have just chosen a more secure line of communication, instead of one of the most watched/played games in esports.

Maybe Stephano was to stupid to check and make sure he wasn't streaming before making that "so called" joke. For the last couple of weeks Stephano have been doing and saying stupid shit on his twitter and facebook. One , Playing WoW after losing Dreamhack , next asking if he was competing in the next Dreamhack. Dropping out of major events and not playing against Korean pros. I think Stephano have got a little too cocky. EG just bring his ass back down to earth. I'm so glad he decided to spend this time in Korea work on his skills. Stephano is good but to stay good he need take this more serious. If he's not going to take his JOB serious then retire and go school.

That's what I meant to say but still he should have checked. He know that most of the pros stream. Like I said Stephano has been doing a little stupid shit for the last couple of weeks now. "sigh" "Kids with money "

Try Google Translate
It's nothing special/big, just a summary of what happened, that he got arrested at Dreamhack for being too drunk, and that he/EG players makes a lot of money.

I really love that because of the official EG statement, this has really spread to everywhere.

I have run my Fake Internet Stats Estimate Program (FISEP 2.0) through the internet and it turns out that:

People who don't care about this joke and whose relationship with Stephano, EG, and their sponsors is unchanged: 98%
People who are very emotionally affected by this and whose relationship with Stephano, EG, and their sponsors has changed for the worse: 0.01%
People who are power hungry internet trolls: 1,99% (My stats also conclude that these guys try to be as obnoxiously vocal about this and oddly enough it turns out that everyone in this group is a sad douche and/or idiot in their own lives)

Well, on the one hand he very well could have been not joking and he actually did have sex with a 14 year old girl, sure this seems like it would be stupid to do but its not unheard of for a guy to have sex with a chick that is 5 years younger than him, and 14 can look older depending on the person, if this is the case then its really disappointing and disturbing, on the other hand it could be a joke that he thought was made in a private convo, which isn't that bad, but it wasn't private. I myself have said things that could be considered very tasteless in private, tho i have never said that i fucked a 14 year old, i have told my friends that i wanted to fuck a 16 year old, when i was like 22-23, I would never actually do this, but i had the primal urge to so I expressed it. Now here is the thing, if they are honest with themselves all men are attracted to young girls, not children but young women so to speak, it is in our nature, however we suppress it, is in out nature to procreate with the opposite sex as soon as the are able to give birth, that varies from person to person but it is around 15 for most. So while there is nothing wrong with being attracted to a 15 year old it is considered taboo in a lot of cultures, and of course acting on it is a crime in most places depending on the age. honestly tho EG had to react the way they did because they have sponsors who care about their image ect ect... Tough luck for Stephano but really its not the end of the world just be more careful what you say over the internet because you never know who is listening. I have never heard a joke exactly like that its a little weird maybe the humor is lost in translation...

You are being just as vocal as anyone else in this thread but instead of contributing to the discussion you are making up stats and insulting people.
