EPTAges of consent are 13, 14, and 14 therein, respectively; in the US this would be analogous to a 19 yo being with a 17 yo in California, which would be legal 100 miles away in another state

Doesnt he know the future of Esports depends on his inability to be original or crack jokes? We need more players like... Idra. Who never give more than 1 sentence answers in interviews. Or like Puma... "EZPZ". He made a joke?!?! QUICK GRAB THE ESPORTS TRIDENT! Well... it was a joke about sleeping with a child or abusing depending on how you look at it. It's SOMETHING, but I don't find myself particularly upset by it. | ||

If it was a joke/prank it looks like Bling took it seriously at least for a second. Regardless of whether it was a joke or not, EG isn't "unprofessional" for a relatively light punishment for this. Again, players are fined huge chunks of salary in real sports for way more mild stuff. | ||

But something else is mattering me. How does Torta de Lini do to always be one of the first five poster of all TL threads? | ||

and thats it. Because every single player will have their responses given to them ahead of time by their sponsors. But whatever people think will make SC2 a mainstream/acceptable thing.... Maybe instead of focusing on bullshit like making everyone act/walk/talk like robots they should focus on making the scene enjoyable and interesting. | ||

Get over it, don't turn this in some silly US > EU thread or something. Some values are different in some countries who the fuck cares. Also too bad, EG reacted so harsh about this. They made it a serious thing now, which wasn't really that serious in my opinion. I'm doing nothing of the sort. I'm American and I think America sucks horribly in tons of ways (you guys are far superior overall), but European free speech laws (or lack thereof) are one of the few things that blow my mind over there. I can see EG protecting their image, but over a simple joke? Fine him some money, tell him not to do it again and move on. You suspend people for actually breaking laws, this is way overboard. | ||

No but really this whole thing is stupid and would have been forgotten if EG had not stepped in, infact what EG did only made things worse and created way more bad publicity than what Stephano did. I dont get how people can be upset by this when there are clearly worse things to joke about (and being joked about). | ||
