Now, the argument can surely be made that he was joking/ trolling, but the argument cannot be made that he wasn't talking about statutory rape. Come on now. Whoa now, slow your roll, you can't just say that its clear as day, as he did not explicitly say "I had sex with a 14 year old." Now he certainly IMPLIED it, fairly strongly, but there is a level of ambiguity in his statement that warrants a certain amount of discretion with regards to how it's interpreted. | ||

EG isn't really losing money from sending him to tournaments plus Stephano would keep his winnings. I never even heard of it until now. Everyone assumed something was up when Stephano was dropping out of more tournaments and the trip to Korea would have explained a lot, but EG wanted to nip it in the bud before this got more steam and protect their image. What I'm looking for is consistency and context. If it's in their agreement fine. So be it; you signed on the dotted line so you should know what is to be expected. | ||

Okay I'm gonna stop you right there. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statutory_rape Having sex with an underage person is rape, because they can't give legal consent. Period. I agree that it was probably a joke (and a terrible one at that). But still. Rape. | ||

I dont think all 14 years old girls are so innocent as we imagine them to be. It does not make it right, but there are plenty of very young girls dating much older guys. | ||

EG was right to do what they did, they are an official team with real sponsors, they would lose more money by losing a sponsor than stephano would by winning a tournament or 2 in 1 month. if you think what he said is ok, go to ur workplace in front of your boss and talk to your friend about abusing a 14 year old and let me know how that turns out for u. stephano is hired and gets paid, he has an image to maintain. No no no. 1. I'm pretty sure Stephano didn't know his recipient was streaming 2. He didn't say anything against the law or even sexual — people are just inferring it. Realize that English is not his first language. 3. Your comparison is completely wrong, mostly because of #1 and #2. Intentionally talking within earshot is a different thing. Your example seems to imply someone who's [Engish] is of good quality, to which Stephano's is not. Lastly, you say "talk", while not mentioning/knowing that in Stephano's case it was very likely a joke and not recounting an veritable story. | ||

If anyone argues with my point, you can't drink until you are 21 but you can kill people for the protection of your freedom at 18 overseas. The difference between a 14 yo mind and a 19 yo mind is massive I must admit, but still, if you want a number game thing, I think hitting puberty is legit. PS: I hope I didn't read it wrong so I didn't write meaningless stuff Edit: props for the dude who put here the video of Dave Chappelle. Also I might add, there are neighbourhoods where 14 yo girls carry guns and had sex for a while now. I'm not saying it's normal, I'm just saying we live in a very very colorful world. Edit2: omg I should go to sleep, I don't edit all my text because it made sense in my head when I thought I read something else. I guess I should have went to sleep 1 hours before so I wouldn't miserably failed that last dota2 game before as well ;D yeah, pretty bad joke, and if it's true....who knows... | ||

Abusing a 14 yo girl, or whatever age she is for that matter, is an inappropriate thing to do/say anyways. Trying to define what abuse was when we don't exacly know what happened goes nowhere. This!! Why is everyone forgetting that he isn't even a native English speaker. Anyway EG did what they had to do, there was no other way out of it. 19 years old exaggerate about so many things but I sure as hell hope he learns from this and really is more careful in the future both in terms of actions and words. | ||
