And how has this suddenly turned into me being racist against whites? Is it because you see Nigeria as my country? Now I am really not surprised at all the bad posting in this thread. the only point your really making is that even though you might dislike him your just showing how bad of a human being you are. sure say hey i dont like him, i dislike his views, his character, but calling him an animal and a fatass etc etc just looks poorly on you. EDIT, he got a week ban, thank you TL hope i dont get banned for attacking him, i just didnt like the way he was attacking him so personally, and im not even a desrow fan. there are plenty of people who stuggle with weight issues and im sick of people who think its ok to point it out numerous times in such ways. he is fat though. when you say people struggle, do you mean they because they are so lazy? in 99% of cases with fat people, this is the reason. pure laziness. and iv hated desrow for a long time, but just because i hate him doesnt mean my judgement is clouded when i say hes fat and needs a good jog a couple times a week. Morrow remarks that the food system is bad, as does jeremy I think [??]. Been watching destinys stream the last few days and they order pizza every night for dinner, so thats at least one meal they either dont have or choose to avoid because its too small. So it isnt just desrow being fat, the meals are just inadequate. Morrow also remarks that the polish dude came in and started flipping at Desrow, so I think its fair to say that the fault lies with MoW way more than any of the players.
Um, yes, it is anti-semitic to say someone is acting like a jew, because that phrase has a strong negative connotation that suggests being a jew or behaving like a jew would is a bad thing. And yes, it is anti-gay (I don't like the term homophobic because I don't think there's an actual phobia being expressed here, just hate) to say someone is acting like a fag, unless you are actually referring to a cigarette butt. It's passive, but it is bigotry.
There is a difference between active and passive bigotry, but it's still bigotry.

Words change. You can bitch all you want but your just King Cnut trying to hold back the tide. Boring and futile.

These things sadden me when both sides have such poor professionalism. TBH things like this really make me question if esports is an appropriate word.

I can't tell if you are intentionally being dense or just flippant, so I'll spell it out for you. If you call someone a jew in an insulting manner, you are implying that being a jew is a bad thing. That is by definition anti-semitic. Whether or not that behavior has become a cultural norm doesn't change that fact. Facts don't change just because people act as though they are something else.
Even if he has no intent of being anti-semitic, he is passively participating in an anti-semitic system. That's bigotry whether you like it or not. "Everyone does it" is not an excuse for lousy behavior.
And if getting rid of some ignorance a step at a time is futile and boring, I'd rather be boring and doing futile work than be exciting and useful.
And by the way, King Cnut did that whole stopping the tide thing to show to people how worthless a king is compared to a deity, well knowing he would fail (he believed in god quite strongly and wanted to demonstrate that one should put god before his king). He wasn't doing it because he was arrogant and thought he would succeed.

Calling somebody a jew due to a perceived greed is not anti-semitism, it is stereotyping. Had the person he was speaking to actually been a jew or if desrow actually has something against jews, maybe different. But as it stands, there is no grounds to call him an anti-semite based on the situation we are presented. Calling somebody a jew is a VERB.
This is a top 10 low-point post on TL for me. And that's saying something. Thanks for clearing up the motivation and acceptability of calling someone an offensive, reprehensible word. The part of speech call out was especially classy. RabidDeer is a destiny fanboy. They defend anyone for any hate speech.
I have never liked destiny. He says some funny stuff sometimes, but hes generally too out there for me. I never understood his popularity either.
I just cant fathom that there are so many people that are holier than anybody else that can talk trash about somebody getting pissed off. He isnt randomly calling him that, its a fit of rage. At least he didnt go Stephano and get drunk or what many others would do and cuss him out severely or anything. I think calling somebody a jew when they are pissed off isnt that bad.
Obviously it is offensive, but it really did have an intention of being a bit offensive in regards to the thriftiness of the people involved. Leave the guy alone.
PS: People using Jesus or God in their comments are hypocrites if they are calling out desrow. Plain and simple.

you know how "those jews" are ...
the first thing "they" do is set up pro gaming houses and then starve "their" players...
they've been doing it for centuries ... starting with the historic starvation of dozens of professional mahjong players in 500 BC.

I think you should go back to your linguistics classes and study how the meaning of a word actually changes (the process involved), and you should understand the etymology of the word before you try to make this argument.
And to do it in Poland no less, brilliant move Desrow.

Whether or not that behavior has become a cultural norm doesn't change that fact. Facts don't change just because people act as though they are something else. Even if he has no intent of being anti-semitic, he is passively participating in an anti-semitic system. That's bigotry whether you like it or not. "Everyone does it" is not an excuse for lousy behavior. And if getting rid of some ignorance a step at a time is futile and boring, I'd rather be boring and doing futile work than be exciting and useful. I'm not going to go back and forth with you screaming 'no, language is organic and it has nothing to do with jews' just for you to reply yet again. I'm perfectly satisfied to know that your view is as ridiculous as it is obscure in our generation. In a century nigger faggot and jew will be common place words with little to no association with their current understanding. I think you should go back to your linguistics classes and study how the meaning of a word actually changes (the process involved), and you should understand the etymology of the word before you try to make this argument. And to do it in Poland no less, brilliant move Desrow. I imagine Poland and what happened there 70 years ago didnt exactly pop into his angry mind. Seriously, give him a break.
I'm not exactly screaming that he should be kicked off his team or out the community or something, and I'm not saying people should blacklist him. All I'm saying is that he did something stupid and wrong. Last time I checked, being angry wasn't an excuse for bad behavior.
I'm not advocating for punishment here. I'm just saying he should know better.

this is interesting, to say the least

Who is actually surprised Desrow has food issues? He's probably eating more than his fair share of the fridge lololol.

Eh, 'being a jew' is pretty common slang for being cheap. I don't like it, but that's how it is.

Some of the people that lived in the house have given very insightful comments on the reddit thread. I can't believe the boss is getting away with this... It really sucks for the players that went there to practice and grind. Desrow went way overboard with the reaction as he snapped but what the boss offers and does in general seems extremely fucked up. yes, karmy was defending MOW last time around...this time raound his comments arent so positiv anymore (tried to strongarm him like fuzer....again...same shit )
Last time around I wasn't defending anyone, Just answering questions and talking as a third party. The only reason I didn't say anything last time about MoW was because they had enough on their plate with everyone raging at them, and at the time we had separated ways. He came back yesterday threatening to charge me more money for the time I stayed there so I decided to voice what happened to me as well .

I don't even think Desrow's met a Jewish family, he's just making a dumb insult with out thinking about it.

seems like a shady place to be

Lol desrow complaining about food go figure.
|
Seems like MoW is pocketing the extra food costs if its $800 a month. $800 is way high for some reason.
Your landlord should never also be supplying food and other things. That should be illegal honestly. Conflict of interest.

Don't really see how a venture such as MoW can have food issues. Does no one know how to cook?
It can't cut into the budget that much to buy some eggs, pasta, meat, and veggies.

i wish there was a transcript. I can barely understand Boss' accent.
