Seriously EG i'm dissapointed.


You're disappointed in EG that they hired a self-proclaimed rapist? I don't think EG was aware of that when they hired him. And I reeeeeally hope that Stephano was just trolling.


Until we get further information that clarifies he actually sexually assaulted anyone, the assumption is that he was trolling. And the punishment is over-the-top bullshit.


I agree we can assume (hope) that, but this is the worst attempt at a "joke" ever on his part. What an immensely immature thing to say.

But you do realize this is Stephano- someone who's known for not only saying ridiculous things, but doing them too? It's not exactly the most absurd assumption in the world to think he was running his mouth off in a private conversation that he thought wasn't going to be streamed to the public, and then he backtracked and said it was only a joke (although I sincerely hope he was just trying to be funny, rather than him actually raping a little girl).

Now you have to put faith in your team that they are actually not defending rapist.


EG's acquisition of Stephano almost made me switch my team icon back to SKT (it was SKT until the SC2 icons came out), but I like some of the other EG players too much at the moment.

Who knows what kind of fucked up sense of humor he has between himself and Bling? It wasn't even intended to be seen on stream anyways. Even if it's Stephano, I really doubt he's going to rape a 14 year old. How often does he elude to committing felony crimes punishable upwards of 10?

If his humor is really that off-putting then rational people can think for themselves and declare they don't like nor want to support Stephano. Then they stop watching his stream and his games. That's it. I'm assuming they got their sponsors e-mailed when the comments were first made but I could be entirely wrong, which is why I'm not totally enraged just yet.


While I don't think he actually raped her, the argument of "Well he's never raped her before, so he probably didn't rape her this time" is pretty much the worst argument ever to defend someone accused of rape. Also, keep in mind he's already been arrested and he's known for pretty much being a jerk. But again, I'm just going to assume he was trolling in bad taste.


Hey could you provide some sourcing and further information about the arrest? Or this post is defamation of character.

Regardless of what abuse means there, it's still nothing you should ever joke about.

He got drunk at a MLG I think, but I remember him staying in jail for a night.

Still can't tell if Stephano joking or statutory raping...


Abuse does not means rape in french. I dont know why every US people thinks he said "Hey bro, i raped a girl last night !"

lol.


Statutory rape implies consensual sex with a minor. NOT actual rape, fool.


Ok so i dont know all details of US English, sorry my bad.

But still, why do american talk about "Rape" for "having consensual sex with a minor" ?! Thats kind of strange.

Statutory sex would match more the situation..


In the US you aren't able to consent until you are 18...... Apparently you are capable of being in control of a possibly deadly weapon (A Car) at 16 but not able to decide what to do with your body until 18. Where I live, consentual sex with a minor is called "Intercourse with a Minor" when in legal terms, its only rape when you actually can prove they didn't consent. Anywho, rape just a word people like to use to get a visceral point across.

Pretty sure he didn't have sex with a 14 year old, especially since I would guess he was at the EG lair at the time in question. Totally within the bounds of EG to fine him, agree that they should do so as they are a professional organisation. However, I think he has the right to saw whatever he wants (within reason) and anyone getting on his case apart from EG and their sponsors are morons..... he has a contract with EG, not anyone else. You do not get to decide what he says or does and you certainly don't get to judge whether or not he was joking
When there is nothing left to lose but your dignity, it is already gone.

I can't decide as one of the older people here what's funnier -

1) Those trying to rationalize having sex with a minor
2) Those saying that child rape jokes are funny
3) Those who can't read a calendar and can't even figure out the length of the ban correctly
4) Seeing where the poster is from and then not being surprised by the content of the post
5) Those who still haven't figured out that there's more public scrutiny now than ever and you are responsible for everything you say no matter the context since the Internet won't care about context long-term.

Also, question - if sex with a 14 year old is funny, what about 12? How about 9? I want to know where the line is so I know how to craft my "jokes" for maximum effect.

Violentacrez approves of Stephano's joke (as he cries that his life is now ruined now that he's been outed).


When fooling around with your good friends, there is no line really...because everyone knows all the jokes are pure bullshit.. and because it's such alot of bullshit, it funny.. EVERYONE knows ur not serious..


Its funny how the mentality between EU and US is so much different...

I thought it was pretty funny but I can see some people getting upset lol. I am just sad that he is out of 2 tourneys I was going to watch till all the foreigners are knocked out (aka can stephano go all the way usually). Its a shame but everyone that crys about shit like this all the time really ruin it for the other 95%. It really hurts the whole community in general from tourney views to sponsorships. To everyone that thinks this is just completely offensive and just had to go let everyone know I wish you luck in real life this ain't shit lol.
It is what it is

I'm actually surprised by all this mess, this was clearly a private conversation between stephano and bling, at least stephano thought it was.
When I call my best friend I usually start with how surprised his mom was when she found out I'm the one doing his dad, we laugh and move on to the next subject.

Stephano is not the damn prime minister, he's a kid who plays a video game for a living, I mean what do you expect?

This is beyond overkill.
Wait... What?

Kind of funny how writing "lol JK" instead of "OMG I hope you didn't show this to all the viewers" would have turned things around at least 90%.. I'm sure he feels the same.


Also makes it more unlikely that he was joking.

Obviously there's no way to know for sure. I do find it hilarious though that everyone thinks this has been blown way out of proportion and doesn't look that bad when Stephano himself immediately realized he had fucked up and put himself in serious trouble.


I sure as hell hope and kind of believe he was joking. I mean he used the word "abused" which really could mean anything and I am sure he is not THAT stupid.

I honestly think Stephano should try Suing EG for what they did, at least depending on what the player's contract says.

Frankly this whole incident makes me absolutely hate EG management, and in general like EG much less (to the point of dislike perhaps). I think it was a ridiculously stupid choice to punish someone to this extent, especially when it is done so quickly without warning or more discussion.


If it wasn't in there before the Orb situation, I 100% guarantee that every single contract afterwards had strong wording against and kind of language like that used here.

Players what have we learned?

Assume everyone is streaming unless you ask prior to making stupid comments/jokes.

I hope there are no double standards in EG from here on in. If you are going to stick by this rule set with orb, Stephano and so forth. Stick with it.

Hopefully it's in your written agreements as well.

If his humor is really that off-putting then rational people can think for themselves and declare they don't like nor want to support Stephano. Then they stop watching his stream and his games. That's it. I'm assuming they got their sponsors e-mailed when the comments were first made but I could be entirely wrong, which is why I'm not totally enraged just yet.


While I don't think he actually raped her, the argument of "Well he's never raped her before, so he probably didn't rape her this time" is pretty much the worst argument ever to defend someone accused of rape. Also, keep in mind he's already been arrested and he's known for pretty much being a jerk. But again, I'm just going to assume he was trolling in bad taste.


Hey could you provide some sourcing and further information about the arrest? Or this post is defamation of character.


He was put in the drunk tank at Dreamhack for being drunk in public..... something MANY of us have done in the past. To then use that as a basis of "keeping in mind" means that we should all be watched..... any of us could be a possible rapist because we got too drunk a few times!

Hahaha well it's a funny joke now!

He made a joke which was obviously bad taste. Yeah bad taste can be funny, it's still bad taste. He also did it in a public place, which forced EG to respond because that's how people like their SC2 these days.

And none of you people who are trying to now make this a big deal or go "but but IdrA.." are any better than the people who created that situation, so here's your bed, have a lie down.

October's halfway done anyway, best solution was to get this quickly over with so he could focus on Korea and that's what they did.
Change to MY nostalgia? UNACCEPTABLE! Monkey paaaw!

sad day

... huh?

I'm pretty sure that the opinion of the people providing the checks that fund your business are more important than the community's opinion of you. TL/reddit doesn't pay Stephano's salary. EG does. And EG is reliant on their sponsors.

Ugh, the ignorance in this thread is astounding. What happened to TL...


im pretty certain none of this would have happened with Millenium, and they have to worry about sponsors too. I guess europeans are just cooler about these kinds of situations.

Still can't tell if Stephano joking or statutory raping...


Abuse does not means rape in french. I dont know why every US people thinks he said "Hey bro, i raped a girl last night !"

lol.


Statutory rape implies consensual sex with a minor. NOT actual rape, fool.


Ok so i dont know all details of US English, sorry my bad.

But still, why do american talk about "Rape" for "having consensual sex with a minor" ?! Thats kind of strange.

Statutory sex would match more the situation..


In the US you aren't able to consent until you are 18...... Apparently you are capable of being in control of a possibly deadly weapon (A Car) at 16 but not able to decide what to do with your body until 18. Where I live, consentual sex with a minor is called "Intercourse with a Minor" when in legal terms, its only rape when you actually can prove they didn't consent. Anywho, rape just a word people like to use to get a visceral point across.

Pretty sure he didn't have sex with a 14 year old, especially since I would guess he was at the EG lair at the time in question. Totally within the bounds of EG to fine him, agree that they should do so as they are a professional organisation. However, I think he has the right to saw whatever he wants (within reason) and anyone getting on his case apart from EG and their sponsors are morons..... he has a contract with EG, not anyone else. You do not get to decide what he says or does and you certainly don't get to judge whether or not he was joking


Well, no one has to hire him either. It's a line that's drawn in the sand that gets crossed. He comes close but he does not cross that line. It's the community that shoves him over.

5) Those who still haven't figured out that there's more public scrutiny now than ever and you are responsible for everything you say no matter the context since the Internet won't care about context long-term.

Also, question - if sex with a 14 year old is funny, what about 12? How about 9? I want to know where the line is so I know how to craft my "jokes" for maximum effect.

Violentacrez approves of Stephano's joke (as he cries that his life is now ruined now that he's been outed).


When fooling around with your good friends, there is no line really...because everyone knows all the jokes are pure bullshit.. and because it's such alot of bullshit, it funny.. EVERYONE knows ur not serious..


Its funny how the mentality between EU and US is so much different...


We like to laugh and joke around with friends ^^ they should try it out aswell.. their lives would be so much more fun.. instead of being butthurt about every little thing..

So you think it's just ok for him being a public figure and sponsored player to say that he had sex with a 14 year old girl and just laughing about it? You joke about that between you're friends?
