I don't get why everyone is mad at EG management for this, other than the community wanting someone to blame because Stephano is the best white guy and ya'll hang off his nuts. He said some idiotic shit and because of his position it's coming back to hurt him. He did this to himself, EG management had nothing to do with it. They don't have an option to not act when things like this become big deals. | ||

If srs hear about this, they will email the sponsors again to punish the SC2 community. They are already expressing delight at all the 'neckbeard tears' as they term it, or 'beardhurt'. Such moral guardians these srs people are who sneer at the SC2 community and refer to us with such terms and call us 'shitbags' and SC2 as 'beardcraft'. Are these people really emailing sponsors because they are upset about Stephano or because they just hate the SC2 community? Their own derogatory terms towards us and SC2 reveal their true malicious agenda. | ||

Yeah, maybe they could afford to get some brain now. Or some skilled player, if stephano leaves... EG is famous cuz its the only USA team. But outside USA, EG is NOTHING. Stephano is World Wide. Even if he quit EG, he will never have any problem, fans will follow him. | ||

In Canada though, touching a girl's shoulder is considered sexual assault. Also, like I pointed out earlier in this thread, we don't actually know what happended. Words were said. For all we know, Stephano is a huge troll and was lying to Bling about everything. How can we go and start calling "rape" on words that were exchanged between friends in a private message? Not a single person here actually knows what the fuck happened. | ||

This is not uncommon even off the internet. As posters on a popular forum, you have no excuse for not recognising it. You have to put this on front page. | ||

They usually executed from within contractual allowances to punish "conduct unbecoming" or some form of moral clause. Similarly, most pro sports organizations, league offices and such, exact punishments without arbitration as well. That's a fair point, people do subject themselves to moral clauses and leave themselves to the whim on their masters. On the other hand, consider what stephano has done: two lines of texts indicating he's sexually aroused by, or has abused, minors (as jokes). Imagine if you could bring this to a third party. Can EG argue this is "immoral" enough to punish like this? Can they even prove the nature of his posts were even sexual? All I'm saying what he did was stupid, but probably not a violation of a morality clause. Maybe there's is an additional don't-make-us-look-bad clause, which covers anything and everything that deals with image and words. In other words: don't fuck with our money flow, or we fuck with yours. | ||

Was that the sound of logic flying right over someone's head? If EG gets rid of him for this I won't be paying attention to them ever again. This is some of the most pathetic drama since Orb. | ||

I get trolling, don't worry. It's just that this wasn't funny in anyway, unless there's more to the conversation that wasn't posted on the front page. Stephano does a lot of stupid childish shit (remember when he signed with Complexity?). Eventually that bites you in the ass. I don't see why everyone is so up in arms about it... Edit: Just realized almost everyone who's mad is European. Now I get it. | ||

I agree that its not funny. But I think shock-value pranks are common enough that people should know of their existence and be able to spot what almost certainly is one. Edit: The thread turned into such a shitstorm because a few people insisted upon taking Stephano's comment at face value, as a statement of fact, and assumed he was a pedophile. | ||
