How do you know, and how are you willing to adamantly willing to argue that it was a joke? | ||

But I wouldn't condone of defend his statement, what is happening to him is 100% his fault. People might say no, its because the other guy is streaming. I say so what.. Things that happen privately in this online age rarely tend to stay private. People might say oh its only a joke. I say so what. It doesn't matter if it was a joke. He's not the victim what so ever. It's his job to know better, no excuses. Part of me thinks he's trying to get fired. Makes me wonder if Millennium had these problems and just didn't care. Lol ditching tourneys and now this, but who knows. Hope he gets his stuff straitened out. he didnt know other guy was streaming. shit happens. | ||

He said "abused," implying sex -- which would be statutory rape in some states but if he even did have sex with a 14 year old, no one knows within what jurisdiction it took place to rule it statutory rape. There is nothing out to clarify whether or not he actually did it. look at most shock comics i.e bill hicks they usually have a fucking good point to make and shock comedy is the vehicle what stephano said was just disgusting for the sake of being disgusting. | ||

I'm going off of his own words where he said it was a joke between him and bling. And I'm sorry your american sensibilities are different, but the age of consent is 14-15 so it's okay by their standards. | ||

Then you're friends with Stephano and receive his messages regularly to know what his sense of humor is like? Or are you merely assuming you know?

Shock value does not need a good point. Dead baby jokes are always funny, sheerly because of how overwhelmingly grotesque they come off. | ||

This made me remember a quote: When I was young, I admired clever people. Now that I am old, I admire kind people. | ||

There's no law that says you can't speak disgustingly to your friends. The only issue was it became public and he didn't want it to be. I think EG made the right call, but frankly people here need to lighten up. He didn't kill anyone, he didn't rape a child, he didn't do anything terrible except have sex with a younger person and then joke to bling about it. Big deal, worse shit happens daily. | ||

The job of the players is to improve/further the brand by promoting their sponsors through winning tournaments and other forms of positive advertising. If a player doesn't do that, it's pretty pointless to have him on your team. To you, he might be just a great SC2 player. To EG, he's an asset in order to make more profits. Making stupid statements that get out into the public make that goal harder to achieve. How is it that hard to understand? It's what the entire scene is organized around, and also why certain players (for example, naniwa) have such a hard time finding a top tier team no matter their skill. i understand everything better than you probably;) on the other hand you're welcome to explain what's the justification and motivation of you when you run to sponsors about a thing that has literally zero effect on your life. the only thing I can think of is "because you can". that's good enough motivation to jump off a cliff too you know. if those witch hunters, who don't get anything out of these matters didn't exist, this whole problem would be non-existant. | ||
