looks like an obvious joke.. just goes to show you, you have NO freedom of speech when under contract. this is why the most outspoken players have trouble staying on teams. I'd much rather be real and be myself, bad tasted jokes and all and NOT have a team, then to cut out a part of who I am to be on a team with these limitations

Although I agree with the punishment, it could be construed as funny to anyone in the world. It's nothing to do with French people, it's more to do with the persons background.

You sir, are the one who is ignorant.


So do you joke about raping 14 year olds to your friends?

Yeah sure.

So basically, he is being punished for a thought crime. I understand people have different sensitivities, but if you don't like that kind of humor, that is not the rest of the world's problem.

I compare it with the guy tweeting about blowing up the airport in UK. He got into some nasty troubles for that one. I guess Stephano can in theory appeal......

The tweet was that the person was going to "destroy America" (i.e., party) and about "digging up Marilyn Monroe" (Family Guy). And as it happens, that was a model example of the inefficacy of the Homeland Security Agency. He spent some time in a cell and they were refused entrance to the country. Now, I don't personally think Family Guy is all that funny, but that didn't strike me as a proportionate response to referencing a TV show. So you can see why it's not necessary for Stephano to have you in stitches to defend him for saying random shit on battle.net.

No, I was talking about another tweet.

Sorry, I guess I was just mesmerized by all the source material you posted. I assume you're talking about Paul Chambers who made a joke during some inclement weather, and whose conviction was overturned on appeal? What was your point again?

I don't see how you could blame someone for poor humour on a private message board. Even sadder, most people would probably not have heard of it if EG had not suspended him...How to make it in Ameericaaaaaaa........

Actually I do, and it is my right to do so. Intelligent people have the ability to not take things literally and they find the vulgarity of the jokes to be hilarious. It's nothing to do with being sick in the head, in fact I am quite well balanced when it comes to morals/feelings. I get disheartened when people die/when rape actually occurs/when someone dies from cancer close to me, but metaphorically speaking I couldn't give a shit.

It's inappropriate to say things like that on a public forum, and I don't disagree with EG on their decision, but by no means do I look upon Stephano any differently. It's people like you that waste billions of tax payers money on Minority issues that aren't important.

Poor Bling, must feel terrible :/. Seriously if people knew about the shit my best friends and I talk about, they would think we are crazy. But we don't even think about it, are just bored and don't mean it serious at all and I feel it's the same with stephano and bling.

Also Stephano's statement feels fake.
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

This country is not free.

This thread should be closed, I can't believe TL is letting this thread open for discussion, he made a joke in poor taste, he got punished, end of story.

You are letting the scum and the morons of our community come in here and make crazy conspiracy theories or speculate on shit that is none of their business, or people in here with mommy problems trying to say they were offended by a joke they could have avoided. Fucking A man...

I don't know what country you from but in Denmark you can actually say whatever you want wherever you want. Its called freedom of speech and yes I know some countries think its fine to break those basic human rights laws in form of scare tactics but thank god I'm not born in one of those police stats

To ban someone 1 month for being offensive on a public forum?

If this was football, the charges would probably be worse =/

The first would even more obviously be facetious, though.

I can't believe people reacted to such an extent, to something so fucking stupid, that he had to be reprimanded. He didn't even know Bling was streaming. He didn't even say anything remotely terrible..

Of course he knew Bling was streaming, THAT IS WHY HE SAID IT. THAT IS WHY IT IS FUNNY.
He was saying it for the audience's benefit so they would get their panties in a bunch, thinking we'd all have a good laugh at a few dumb people's expense for getting trolled so hard.

Unfortunately he overestimated the intelligence of the SC2 community.


If you want ESports to be treated seriously, then under circumstances should a renowned player say something so vulgar/inappropriate on a public forum. It's the same for all sports, so man up and see it as a good thing.

I love the fact that Tasteless can call someone a douchebag during a GSL cast. I love that Husky is awkward and nerdy. I love that MC can dress like a freaking dinosaur and nobody mocks him.

I don't want SC2 to be baseball. I don't want SC2 to be a presidential campaign. I want SC2 to be a bunch of nerds playing computer games and not being so damned insecure about whether other people share their passion.

Also, if we could incorporate NAMBLA into the scene somehow... that would be tops...

Plenty of cases in real life where comments such this has led to at least an formal investigation by the police; A few years ago in Sweden a local politician was investigated, charged and found guilty after he had confessed privately to a friend via SMS; "I've just had a 'fun time' with a 15 year old".

Now, granted they only used the SMS as reason for starting the investigation and that they only actually continued with a formal prosecution once they got more evidence, its still pretty dumb to make comments like this, in any form or context. If nothing else you avoid the risk of being investigated by the police, and even if your innocent and didn't do anything I still believe you rather not be under investigation at all.

Sure, police can do whatever they want as long as it's legal. Investigating a person is not punishment however, and EG is applying a punishment. I don't really see how what you said pertains to what I said.

I was trying to explain a logical reason behind why Stephano deserves punishment by adressing the very real likehood of a possible involvement of the police; any investigation based on someone's action has negative impacts, in this case on the EG team, its staff and the sponsors.

I do that kind of joke with friends... Bling streamed that, no chance, but on french SC2 websites, nobody care about that, rather on the punishment.
I love platypus and backpack.
