If that's what Idra said it's far worse (yet still not worth much or any punishment) for many reasons: 1. I assume he said thing in a knowingly-public environment, not an assumed-to-be 1-on-1 private conversation. 2. It is specifically a hateful or abusive comment towards a particular person or group. 3. Idra said that statement in his primary language to which he is very proficient in. 4. While it's pretty obvious he doesn't mean it, the statement is clear, and there's nothing implied. In Stehano's case, his statement is extremely ambiguious, and not sexual whatsoever, and no one but Stephano himself can claim that he implied anything — you can only infer based off what he said, and you may be inferring improperly It's absolutely nonsensical that Stephano would get punished for this — at the worst there should have been some sort of stern warning. I don't even think this thing was news whatsoever until people heard that Stephano was punished. If it wasn't newsworthy to most people, why should EG care about it? Idra's comment was basically "fuck this guy, I hate him" Stephano's comment was basically "I fucked a minor" Yeah, Idra's is much worse because english is his native language. | ||

If you're not smart enough to understand that you can't casually admit that you're a sex criminal when you are a public personality (or anyone, for that matter) then you deserve to spend a very bad couple of months while everything is sorted out. This is the part that worries me, Stephano can't possibly be this stupid. Good job to EG taking action quickly though. | ||

 I know you're doing this for the money, but nevertheless I liked the funny Stephano with the "i don't give a shit" attitude a lot more than the EGstephano. This is honestly painful for me to see. | ||

I understand that EG is a business, but surrendering to SRS, seriously ? Those dicks can pretty much do anything to this (already) terrible community now. I agree with you, but sometimes business is business. If the sponsors are being threatened, I don't see what else EG could have done. | ||

Its fine to joke (altho i don't really understand what would be funny about that), but don't get caught. Its a basic rule. | ||

I'm guessing the majority of people posting in this thread have never been in their local pub or bar. They seem completely sheltered to be offended by something like this. | ||

Educated doesn´t refer just to have titles but to have good manners, that´s what i meant. Call bitch to the ceo of a big korean tournament through twitter shows very bad manners | ||

Every post of yours I've read uses the term sexual criminal or some variation of. Making a joke doesn't make you a criminal, at least not in most places I've been to. you don't seem (or perhaps want) to be able to grasp the fact that words do not mean ANYTHING. If there were evidence that Stephano actually had sex with a 14 year old girl, he would have been fired. Please stop reffering to him as a criminal, you may not like him but that doesn't make him a bad guy. | ||

I totally disagree of your summation of both player's comments. One was an indirect specific threat on a specific person, another was an ambiguous statement regarding an unnamed person; The sexual tones are inferred, not necessarily implied. Aside from that, while Idra did not mean what he said, I would not define it as a joke either. With Stephano's case, it seems much more likely to be a joke, and did in fact incite laughter. You also don't bother to distinguish the different contexts, public and private(intention), which is HUGE. | ||
