You can easily kill child in others countries with bombs and laugh about that, but you cry and want to lynch ppl when you hear that a 14yo mis-educated or already-matured girl had some good time with boys.

We Canadians don't have bombs, sadly. Our military is as backward as the Taliban.


What are you talking about, we don't have a military.

Damn selfish Canadians, always making everything about themselves.

That's wrong i looked it up. I believe Canada's navy consists of one more ship then the german navy does. A coast guard boat i think. Which raises the total sum of canadians ships to three coast guard boats

I don't know of any Americans that think war is funny, let alone jokes about child abuse... Please stop the baseless mudslinging.

Stephano admitted his joke was in bad taste, if he thought there was nothing to apologise for, then we might have something to debate. His punishment fits the crime, its time to move on.

Yeah I've never seen someone defend their right to sleep with 14 year olds as passionately as Tgaud did. Teaching me so much about French culture.

I dont understand the big deal. Its just Stephano being Stephano and he was obviously joking.


Because he gets paid a lot of money to represent an organization like a professional, not some \b tard on the internet?


Yeah but it was on his free time in france. He was not playing or having the EG clothes on him.
It's not a full time job.

Orb wasn't on staff either when he made his comments.


And very few people defended Orb.

Yet over 50% of this thread is in favor of Stephano making child abuse comments purely because they're fanboys.

It's just ridiculous that they can't see how biased they are. Either we persecute people for this stuff or we don't - we can't just do it inconsistently because we like or dislike somebody.


And you want to punish a young man playing video game a private joke to a friend on his free time in france with family.
(like I did younger pretending my mom died at school to shock my schoolmates to see their faces and laugh at them after)

And to cancel tournament, have a whole community totally disapointed, having stephano to go in korea far from his family and everything.

Juste because you're american and you are a hater.


I actually like Stephano (though I didn't originally) and am very against these type of witchhunts.

I just hate that the community reacts so differently to two very similar situations simply because of who is involved. Orb was to burned at the stake for heresy against the Esports Nation, while Stephano is just a silly kid who made some lame jokes and it's all okay.

That type of double standard is not acceptable, and I assure you a large portion of this thread is perpetrating it.

People differ in their view of how Orb was treated, just as they differ on how Stephano is being treated. As they did when Naniwa got on the wrong side of the Korean community and in how they judge how EG hires players and whether TL is all taeja or not.

I think you have to work overly hard to make it a problem for people who think that Stephano is being treated harshly that Orb, naniwa, incontrol & huk have at different times been treated like shit. Yes, they have, but how is that relevant?

The French Penal Code states: The commission without violence, constraint, threat or surprise of a sexual offence by an adult on the person of a child under fifteen years of age is punished by five years' imprisonment and a fine of €75,000.

Were not saying you laugh at the war and death toll in them, we are saying that you shrug it off... But this just cant pass.

I do agree that the punishment was needed, but not for the reason you guys do. EG had no choice, sadly its the truth, if idra said I want to rape David Kim and some derp sent that to one of EG's sponsor, hed be suspended.

But the drama that has unfold shows the true character of this community and it doesnt look good at all.

Stephano said :

"Some people stupîdity makes me regret/hate my choice on going professional on starcraft. Which makes me play worse and worse"
and

"I would like to apologize for my conversation with @dignitasBlinG during his stream. It was just a private joke, nothing serious, sorry !"

and

"Some people are really mad..."

It's what he was really thinking.

The "excuses" were forced by EG.
Everyone that know stephano, know this.

If I were him, I definitely won't make that kind of statement. He should simply be glad that it didn't got worse.

"the great Stephano coverup" where if you repeat the word "joke" everywhere then it makes it true that it was a joke.

Using an online gaming forum to make blanket assumptions about a nation full of many backgrounds on their collective opinion about war and its atrocities or well, really, anything, is not wise and surely not accurate. If anyone thinks they can "learn from American culture" from this thread about Stephano's punishment then you truly have no perspective.

No, you have to have made a reasonable inquiry of her age. If you were mislead, then you have a case.

No business on this planet will accept these type of jokes of sexual minors from an employee. Between friends or not.
