I hope that it's just been misplaced. But if it's been stolen (seems very likely), this is pretty low and I hope the person who did it is caught. No-one deserves to have their keyboard/mouse stolen. It's not even about the money, it's about the comfort of the kit your used to.
Now thats rly awful... However back in the day i always kept my bag with gear on me, exactly for this reason. I think this was some hater of naniwa who didnt even care about the equipment, he just wanted to fuck over with naniwa... Sounds like redditors did it :D
IPL asked to have it re-tweeted and I guess they want to raise awareness? But if this is the wrong place to help someone in esports out at the request of a major event then I will remove the thread, no problem.
This happens at every event. Why are pro gamers not more careful with their gear? Why not finish a game, then pack everything into a back pack that you then carry around with you until your next game?
Unless someone stole it from him as he was wearing his gear, then my point is moot.
grrr people are such idiots...why do people always try to make themselves feel better by being dicks to everyone else? Its not clever, just disrespectful and foolish. Hope the person gets caught.

some people without any guiding ethics *cough*msr*cough* are full of shit, that's a cop out to not care about people's stuff and i'm willing to bet those people haven't ever had something valuable stolen from them. if you set something down, turn to sign something, and turn back and you're shit's gone, that's just people being thieves and it's not justifiable. on a side note, i agree with the very archaic way of dealing with thieves, cut their hands off.

Yeah, I don't think you have any clue of ethical theory if you think it's "normal" for the victim to be the person at fault. I can't think of a single ethics viewpoint that paints a victim at fault. What you're claiming is synonymous to Fox news claiming that the person who got raped was asking to get raped for x reason. Which makes zero sense because regardless of the means to which the rape occurred... the person was still raped.. The word itself is literally victimization. Being stolen from literally means you are the victim and hence it cannot be your fault. I mean, unless you want to change the linguistics and connotations to words your argument seems pretty illogical.
That all said, hopefully he does get his stuff back. It can be really troublesome to deal with this sort of thing in a pressured environment, especially when the other sets for WC are tonight. ;~;

You are probably right, those people never had anything valuable stolen from them... But that's just because they are watching their valuables, thanks for proving their point...

So if I leave my debit card in a card machine by accident and walk off, and the store keeper takes it, I'm not even partially at fault? Even if you'd argue I'm not at fault in the focal sense of the word, it would still be fucking stupid on my part.
The victim can never be guilty, but sometimes you are partially responsible for getting yourself into certain situations.

I'm not a Naniwa fan at all but I think that, if someone stole his stuff, that's pretty horrible. I hope he gets it back, though the odds are probably against it.
And as for people saying they think it's his fault, absent information about the precise specifics of what happened, you can't argue that.

As I said, this is a logical contradiction/not sound logic - it's literally just something bound to our words. In no way can a victim be "responsible" because to be a victim is to not be in control to what aggressions you have faced.
To your example, this is of course under the assumption that the context of the situation in which the person is placed isn't deceptive. What I mean by this is, if Naniwa was ignorant of the fact that a theft could occur, or that he was innocently drawn to an area that turned out to be problematic then what you said doesn't really compare to what I was talking about.
The example you gave is entirely choice based in an area where a theft can easily occur; in contrast to naniwa who more than likely did not voluntarily choose an area in which his stuff could be stolen from. What I'm getting at here is if he was somewhere like in the player area when this happened then it really can't be naniwa's fault because he was led to believe that area was secure. However his stuff was still stolen anyway and the choice he had in the matter was only "take my stuff with me" or "don't take my stuff with me because it's in a secure area already". Seemingly, the second choice is just as safe as the first, but the second gives you more freedom. Anyone can tell you walking around an event without carrying all your stuff is much more enjoyable.

While I do agree with this line of reasoning, trust me, if you were raised in a very traditional Asian household, regarding that VERY choice you would not hear the end of it from your parents if you chose the latter You're kinda brought up to be paranoid in that sense, til this day even when I live overseas I'm uncomfortable to even leave the house when hired help comes around to clean.
I really hope it has been misplaced and not actually stolen. Wish for the best Naniwa.

....On the flip side we could also blame IPL for compromising the saftey of one of their competitors belongings. Naniwa went there with the expectation that IPL would keep his stuff safe when he is not there. The thief just saw an an oppurtunity and took it, nothing wrong with what the theif did, it was IPL and Naniwa not being careful enough. *end sarcasm*

Exactly.
In a good world, no one would even pretend to steal something from other persons... So this is how ethics work, they seem to be broken if someone steals. That's not the fault of the victim in any case ethic wise because the fault is what is going on the the thiefs head. However if you're not naiv you know that the human race is a great bunch of asholes and probably should take care of your own things (and maybe others as well).
This reminds me of fighting game tournaments. NEVER leave your custom/arcade/fight stick or whatever you want to call it out in the open... people WILL steal. I've seen it so many times when at Fighting game tournaments people's cameras, gaming equipement, bags, and etc. go missing/stolen.
Having his stuiff stolen as a pro is awful, it like saying for Messi " Okay today you'll with your right leg on the left and the left one on the right. Good luck." It just make the player so much less confortable in his games.

Pretty apt analogy considering Naniwa is left-handed and uses left hand mouse.

I'm Asian and I don't find it normal to put the blame on the victim.
I can't help but find this kind of funny though. I mean it seems awful to have something stolen from you, especially if you need it to perform your job, but Naniwa is a big name and I can imagine quite a few people wanting to have that in their room. It's just like being a big name in any sport or profession: people want their hands on your stuff.
But hey, on the bright side, he might have something to blame if he starts to play like shit ;p

Assuming it was careless. Which noone knows SHIT about. So no, it is not Naniwa's fault.
I'm curious, when things are stolen from pro gamers, why don't they have it in a closed bag, such as a back pack, with them at all times when not in use? Don't talk to fans or anything until everything is secure and nothing will get taken from you.

You really cant compare getting mugged to getting your stuff stolen, especially when we dont even know the full story. If naniwa say left his bag on a chair and theres no one around to look after it, then whos to say the guy that takes it even KNOWS that it was naniwas? he just saw a bag and thought "oh im going to take it." This is assuming that the guy took it while naniwa was away and didnt know it was naniwas, if he did know then its just a dick move, but if you leave your shit alone then dont be surprised if people take it. It is a dick move, still. Now, if naniwa was sitting with his bag and he stood up cause he was cheering for leenock or something and while he was distracted a guy took it, then thats just plain f'd up. Need to know more of the story, but its most likely its naniwas fault for leaving his bag alone. If i left my backpack on the bus or something and i forgot it, and someone jacks it, its my fault for leaving it. simple as that.
Now, when you say that guys logic is "retarded" then you need to back it up well. Comparing stealing to getting mugged is kind've ridiculous logic if you ask me. If i went to the bathroom at a rest stop and i left my guitar on a bench, then its my fault if it gets stolen no questions asked. Its a bare amount of caution because people do stuff like that :/

By that logic it would be your own fault if someone kidnapped your kid unless you keep an eye on him/her 100 % of the time. It's an unreasonable thing to expect that people keep an eye on everything they own constantly without getting their shit stolen.

That's like saying it was Mr. Bitters fault he got robbed for $2000 because he wanted to take a Taxi to his hotel.
Shit happens, you can't be safe all the time from everything especially with so many evil people running about in places with over 5000 people.
And to blame it at all on the victim when you have no idea the circumstances is crazy talk.
You really cant compare getting mugged to getting your stuff stolen, especially when we dont even know the full story. If naniwa say left his bag on a chair and theres no one around to look after it, then whos to say the guy that takes it even KNOWS that it was naniwas? he just saw a bag and thought "oh im going to take it." This is assuming that the guy took it while naniwa was away and didnt know it was naniwas, if he did know then its just a dick move, but if you leave your shit alone then dont be surprised if people take it. It is a dick move, still. Now, if naniwa was sitting with his bag and he stood up cause he was cheering for leenock or something and while he was distracted a guy took it, then thats just plain f'd up. Need to know more of the story, but its most likely its naniwas fault for leaving his bag alone. If i left my backpack on the bus or something and i forgot it, and someone jacks it, its my fault for leaving it. simple as that.
Now, when you say that guys logic is "retarded" then you need to back it up well. Comparing stealing to getting mugged is kind've ridiculous logic if you ask me. If i went to the bathroom at a rest stop and i left my guitar on a bench, then its my fault if it gets stolen no questions asked. Its a bare amount of caution because people do stuff like that :/
By that logic it would be your own fault if someone kidnapped your kid unless you keep an eye on him/her 100 % of the time. It's an unreasonable thing to expect that people keep an eye on everything they own constantly without getting their shit stolen.
Kidnapping a kid is completely different then jacking someones stuff. Its a different case for different things. If you are a decent person then you wont jack someone's stuff like that, but not all people are "decent".

Oo. So now thief is not guilty of a theft? Weird ethics.
It's normal ethics, because you were careless and didn't take care of your own stuffs, it will be considered as your fault first. Maybe it's normal for Asian but Westerner.
edit: Hope they will find out who has stolen them ~~
You should be able to leave your stuff in the middle of a sidewalk and come back and still find it there (or moved off to the side) but nobody has the right to just walk off with it.

No its not right but it is your responsibility to make sure it doesn't get stolen. People are messed up man and they will take it. Its the reason why i dont leave stuff in the middle of the sidewalk and whatnot.

Does anyone know what he will be doing if he does not get his stuff back in time..? I can't imagine it being good for the games.. :/ Takes quite some time to get used to different equipment.

Honestly, it could be a lot better than he makes it out to be, but obviously he has to cut a lot of financial corners in order to provide for the plans that he hopes to achieve. The defense budget is a prime example of this. The United States invests the most into military than the rest of the world, so it is probably a good idea to cut back on it and invest it elsewhere, such as creating jobs, education, healthcare etc. Another thing which should be noted is how we constantly invest money overseas and then wonder, why don't we have a lot of jobs in America? It's one thing to make a small-term investment overseas, we don't have to act as bodyguards for countries such as South Korea or Afghanistan. It all depends on our moral views, but I think we should focus on building our own country before we go and attempt to save other people.

Almost equally as entertaining is those who post ambiguously, and in a shallow fashion about others in threads while simultaneously misinterpreting half of the conversation; let alone their own failure to word what was even being talked about correctly.
to the above: it's left handed equipment as far as I know... So I doubt many others have the same stuff at that level :/ T_T really sad that Naniwa isn't playing now... The only protoss for the team just taken away. Well, hopefully this doesn't happen again. It would be really sad to see something like this happen at MLG, or imagine if it had happened to a Korean player... :l
I wonder if most of the people with large post counts even read threads, and their subsequent replies before they post such silly things for the sake of +1post while under the guise of: rofl, I read the OP and i 4 sure kno deez guiz r dumb.. not even on topic.
edit: rofl at all the posts that went way off topic in the following 2 pages. It's like they tried to negate my response and prove the post I replied to >.> Oh well, I tried to justify the first half but no chance on the rest of this thread.
Events like these should rent lockers or something for the players; being expected to carry your shit around for an entire event is pretty silly. It's unfortunate when these things happen, but they do happen, and it's naive to think that it won't.

Dear thief of Naniwa's stuff: Thank you for doing what you did. Now we have an excuse for what's happening in korea vs world, even if it's a terrible excuse.
Actually, it's human nature to make deductions. Something in the possible thief's life caused him to deduce that taking something that is not his is alright.

I am really enjoying Stephano right now. Let's hope he can keep it up against Seed! Sorry Nani, but understand you are going to have to take one for the team now!
Hopefully, it was just his stuff getting misplaced.
It's hilarious because if his shit got stolen and he was still in IPL5 he would be playing on any mouse+keyboard he could find.
Naniwa doesn't seem to give a fuck about the fans, and after he lost yesterday + the fact these games don't mean anything to him, I am sure he was just looking for an excuse not to play (not saying his stuff wasn't stolen, but I've never heard of anybody else's stuff disappearing, I mean, people have even returned various keys to IdrA when he smashed his keyboard.)

So if I leave my debit card in a card machine by accident and walk off, and the store keeper takes it, I'm not even partially at fault? Even if you'd argue I'm not at fault in the focal sense of the word, it would still be fucking stupid on my part.
The victim can never be guilty, but sometimes you are partially responsible for getting yourself into certain situations.

Exactly.
Your logic is retarded.
That's like saying it was Mr. Bitters fault he got robbed for $2000 because he wanted to take a Taxi to his hotel.
Shit happens, you can't be safe all the time from everything especially with so many evil people running about in places with over 5000 people.
And to blame it at all on the victim when you have no idea the circumstances is crazy talk.
You really cant compare getting mugged to getting your stuff stolen, especially when we dont even know the full story. If naniwa say left his bag on a chair and theres no one around to look after it, then whos to say the guy that takes it even KNOWS that it was naniwas? he just saw a bag and thought "oh im going to take it." This is assuming that the guy took it while naniwa was away and didnt know it was naniwas, if he did know then its just a dick move, but if you leave your shit alone then dont be surprised if people take it. It is a dick move, still. Now, if naniwa was sitting with his bag and he stood up cause he was cheering for leenock or something and while he was distracted a guy took it, then thats just plain f'd up. Need to know more of the story, but its most likely its naniwas fault for leaving his bag alone. If i left my backpack on the bus or something and i forgot it, and someone jacks it, its my fault for leaving it. simple as that.
Now, when you say that guys logic is "retarded" then you need to back it up well. Comparing stealing to getting mugged is kind've ridiculous logic if you ask me. If i went to the bathroom at a rest stop and i left my guitar on a bench, then its my fault if it gets stolen no questions asked. Its a bare amount of caution because people do stuff like that :/
By that logic it would be your own fault if someone kidnapped your kid unless you keep an eye on him/her 100 % of the time. It's an unreasonable thing to expect that people keep an eye on everything they own constantly without getting their shit stolen.
Kidnapping a kid is completely different then jacking someones stuff. Its a different case for different things. If you are a decent person then you wont jack someone's stuff like that, but not all people are "decent".
Yea while were at this lets discuss Obama's upcoming policy for this upcoming fiscal year!

Well this IS Team Liquid. I once went into a philosophy thread about morality, and before we even got into the second page some guy made a post stating that the OP was faulty as morality itself doesn't exist, and followed that up with a couple of paragraphs of his reasoning.
Yeah I forgot about how every discussion turned into some ridiculous debate about something petty or irrelevant. Once got into one with someone who was arguing that bullying is a good thing.

I get that, but back to the point of if the game had meaning, he wouldn't simply say, "Oh, I lost my stuff too bad, I will just take 4th at IPL5 and drop out of the tournament."
There are plenty of mice which are for righty+lefty (sure it isn't what he is used to, so it would be a stretch to play/win, but I mean LosirA has won games with his keyboard not working the entire game). Just leaves a bad taste in your mouth after his history and not putting forth any effort to play.

So basically, you want him to play under suboptimal conditions in a team event instead of giving someone else a chance to play with their proper equipment. How selfish of him.

You have to understand, generally mice that aren't super cheap have a curve to one side and they'll have buttons for your thumb. Aside from the fact that in a game that requires fast and accurate clicking / dragging a differently shaped and different sensitivity for the mouse will slow you down, you can't use the 4+ buttons on the mouse with your pinky...
So considering it's a team competition, it'd be more absurd for him to say he's still better than Vortix even when he can't select his units right or place his forcefields accurately.
Note it's not like his game yesterday was embarrassing. He didn't win, but he was close at times; it wasn't lopsided.

I would much rather him not play; regardless of the fact it is a team event.
Although, he qualified and fans + players are expecting to see him / play against him. I'm just saying, when you play a video game for money, you need to realize how fortunate that opportunity is and appreciate it, most players would have persevered and tried to put on as good of games for the fans as possible.

Just says a lot about his character, IMO.
But he can't put on his best possible game, so he's giving someone else who can show their best possible game a chance to play. This is a ridiculous thing to complain about.

Their stuff is quite nice, I have a Naos 5000 and it's quite comfortable to use. Only downside is that it's quite expensive compared to equivalent SteelSeries gear.
I for one, support this thief, he shows how materialistic attachments; can limit a person; Naniwa was practically asking for his stuff to get stolen because he attempted to have things in the first place. We should all just learn to share things, for attempting to assert ownership over material is merely a weak mental construct, shackled up by "laws".
or we could just say that it sucks he couldn't play and move on
petty crime destroying Esports. First Mr. Bitter gets kidnapped and robbed. Then Grubby gets poisoned. Now Naniwa gets robbed. I just hope Tasteless and Artosis can get out of Las Vegas alive!
Pretty stupid to say he's at fault. It is impossible to keep an eye on your stuff at all times. I mean hell people's houses get broken into all the time, he could've had it at his house and it would've still been stolen. Naniwa is not at fault. In the end the thief is responsible for stealing the gear, therefore he/she is the one to blame.
Sure sometimes people leave their cards in machines on accident and stuff, but in the end there is only one person who decides to commit said crimes, the thief.
Hope Naniwa eventually gets his stuff back, having such important things stolen isn't fun at all.

Do you try to troll, or do you seriously don't get what he means?
Over here in germany, if your car gets stolen because you forgot to lock it, chances are pretty good that insurance won't pay. Because it's your fault that the car got stolen. You could have done stuff (for example, locking it) to prevent it. Same for Naniwa. I did not follow the thread, if he had his stuff in a backpack on his back, it's not his fault at all. If he just threw his equipment in some corner, unwatched, it's his fault, yes.
MC had his pocket picked, so it's not his fault. If he had his wallet on the table and went to the restroom, and it got stolen at THAT moment, it would be his fault, of course.
It's not that hard to understand.
Edit: there's a phrase: "Gelegenheit macht Diebe". Translates to "Opportunity makes a thief" or "An open door may tempt a saint". They exist for a reason.

Well if it was on his back it's still his fault, because he could have put his backpack backwards and have his stuff in front of him.. Much safer. Or maybe he could have put his equipment in a vault or something. lmao, there's ALWAYS something you can do to make a situation different. Do you see how ridiculous this is getting?
Seriously though...
I understand that if you leave your stuff on a table unwatched, you're partially to blame for it being stolen because like you said, you're giving people the opportunity to grab it. But at the same time, for someone to take it shows that they lack morals. If I would see a bag unattended I would NEVER steal it. It just isn't right to do so.
All these people blaming Naniwa are just trying to make themselves feel better, because they would probably steal the gear if they had that opportunity.
So what I'm saying is, generally, bad things will happen less to those who are careful. (i.e. dont leave important objects unattended). So yeah, don't give people the opportunity to steal from you, etc. But at the same time, just because there's an opportunity to steal something, it's still NOT ok to do it. You're still in the wrong for stealing it...
Anyways, we don't even know the exact scenario on how Naniwa's gear was stolen, so we can't even say who was completely at fault. If we did know how, I'm sure we would have avoided a lot of this conversation.. but hey, its TL lol
It never amazes me what these threads can come to! haha
Your first part is just you being stupid/"funny". Come on. I don't see how ridiculous this is getting, because it does not need to be. You just need to "not invite" someone to steal your stuff. Of course i can use a razor or something to rip your backpack open and steal everything that falls out, but that means, i had the intention to do so. I'm not someone just walking by, seeing stuff lying there, and took it with me. That's what you need to do, it's even reglemented by laws. Im blown away by the infantile answers people get when they say that Naniwa could(!) very well be the one to blame.
Your conclusion of people being thieves and blame Naniwa to make them feel better (thats actually so stupid, it does make less sense the more i think about that).. Yeah.
Of course it's not okay to steal stuff. I would not do it, especially not THAT stuff. But that alone does not make you/Naniwa a victim.
And yeah, i'm amazed as well. But in another direction, i guess.
This whole ethics debate could just be summed up with "cultures are different." A lot of Asian countries put emphasis on personal responsibility, that if you leave yourself vulnerable to a crime, you're at least partially to blame and are looked upon as such. People really have to acknowledge that different places are, well, different.

"Naniwa could have done something to prevent this from happening" is in no way equivalent to "it's Naniwa's fault" and anyone who would suggest that those two things are equivalent is as morally deficient as the thief.
Love all the absolutes in here. "If you have this opinion, you are morally deficient!!" "If you think this way, you are too stupid to live." ... All too common on the internet, completely defining a person in your own mind based on one comment you didn't happen to agree with.

You have no control over the others and the community, so you should do what you CAN. Be aware and protect your stuff.

Using the insurance company as a source for ethical guidelines seems somewhat weird... after all their policies are designed to turn a profit (by reducing moral hazard) and not based on any sort of "fundamental" ethical considerations about responsibility and guilt.
The police would of course investigate this case as a crime and any court of law would hold the thief, not the careless owner, responsible.
Reminds me of the Magic: The Gathering scene. People are constantly arguing over what "theft" is. Seems pretty clear cut to me but a lot of people seem to think that the moment someone walks away from their property, whether it be a trade binder worth hundreds of dollars or a few basic cards, it is no longer their property and thus fair game for anyone to take. I remember reading one guy's post, bragging not just that he had "acquired" a significant collection of cards from someone else, but that he had every right to, since the other guy "forgot them". Not only that, but he claimed that he was actually doing the guy a favour by teaching him an important lesson! Unbelievable.

iamhope: I'm speechless. The suggestion that you can't expect to have your things left in peace while you go for a bathroom break is ridiculous. One should be able to expect a certain law abiding standard, especially in a setting where that equipment is actually needed to perform. The one who took it was an opportunistic cunt, and the blame lies entirely with him/her.
Your third point frankly makes you look like a chauvinistic caricature from the fifties. Get with the times; a girl these days has her own right to decide what she wears and where, without having to consider being molested on the way to the grocery store due to her skirt being "too short" by some arbitrary standard determined by a would-be rapist.
Point 4: Despite what you might think, relying on other people following the law is not naive, but entirely reasonable behaviour. If we all were acting as if the next guy we meet might shank us for our wallet society would collapse.
I agree that it has to be at least partly Naniwa's fault that his stuff got stolen. If I leave my wallet on a table unguarded when I go to the bathroom and it gets stolen it is probably at least partly my fault that it got stolen. Yes the person who stole it was probably an asshole but it was my fault for leaving my stuff unguarded. Unfortunately, we don't live in a world where people don't steal things that are easy to steal, but since we don't we have to be careful with our things.

Seems pretty clear cut to me but a lot of people seem to think that the moment someone walks away from their property, whether it be a trade binder worth hundreds of dollars or a few basic cards, it is no longer their property and thus fair game for anyone to take. I remember reading one guy's post, bragging not just that he had "acquired" a significant collection of cards from someone else, but that he had every right to, since the other guy "forgot them". Not only that, but he claimed that he was actually doing the guy a favour by teaching him an important lesson! Unbelievable.
What about the time when a couple level 2s literally tackled a thief at a GP and held him until the police came? That guy got busted for grand theft because the backpack had a couple legacy decks in it.
The lesson that everyone has to learn in the MTG tournament scene is this: nobody can tell who's stuff is whose, and cards are very easy to pick up and hide in a pocket/binder/backpack. So if you're careless and you leave your stuff on a table and then walk away, nobody will feel sorry for you. You're at a public event with several hundred people. You can't expect everyone to be honest, especially in a room full of card players. And then, even if the guy who picks up your deck is honest, how are you going to prove that it's your deck? Because you say so? Forget about it. That's why some TOs explain to everyone at the beginning of an event that it's up to you to watch your own stuff.
There will always be people who are willing to commit crimes to get ahead, and we can't just expect people to behave a certain way and act morally. That doesn't mean we have to let our stuff get stolen, though--we all just have to watch our backs...and our stuff. That's life.

whoever leaves their belongings somewhere in a public place is asking for them to get stolen, 100% his fault.
this is what is exactly the problem with todays society. You should be able to leave your stuff anywhere you want. Other people shouldn't take it, no matter what. People thinking that is a LEGIT reason to take someone's belongings is ignorant.

That's just a gross over generalization, leaving your property, especially concealed items or items hidden in bags / boxes etc in public places and avenues is seen as both a security and safety hazard and actually inconveniences other people who don't know what the correct course of action to do with them is. No one should be able to leave your stuff anywhere you want, especially on private property, because what you are leaving behind might be undesirable to the person who has to use that space. You can leave / take anything if there is expressed permission and consideration on both sides.
Anyone who's ever rented space or had shared rooms or living spaces with other people know exactly what a nightmare it is dealing with people who leave their stuff everywhere, it's some times even more inconveniencing and frustrating than having your stuff taken from you.

off tangent but.... rapists target girls who appear to lack confidence and don't look like they'll put up a fight, and these girls are usually not dressed in "short skirts" or low cut tops.

Should and would don't work with someone who doesn't care and steals stuff. Believing it to be so is stupid. Of course it's wrong to steal stuff, but as was mentioned several times: there are enough people who don't care about that fact. Thus it is up to you to prevent it from happening. If you give them the chance: it's your fault for giving them the opportunity.
Giving them the opportunity still doesn't make the theft any illegal, but you are at fault as well since you acted negligent.
edit: and the guy's example with the women was perfect actually. No matte what right a woman should have, fact is that you are not entirely free to do as you wish in our society. If a woman dressed like this walks into a area which is crime infested it's partly her fault that something bad happens. This stil ldoesn't excuse a raper or anyone in anyway, but she could have minimized chances. Another example is sports. If you are going to a match and your team wins. Afterwards you walk to your car happily sining and dressed in your team's colors while there is a group of rival finas next to you you are at fault as well. You could have minimized the chances of getting beaten up, but you chose not to and took the risk...and it back fired
so to summarize: stealing is still a crime and is forbidden, but if you act negligent you are at fault for it happening as humas are bad and you should know it
at the IEM when the cam filmed some players for some minutes between the games you could see a guy approaching a desk next to a player and grabbing the tablet lying there trying to go away. the player (some korean) immediately held onto him pulling the tablet back from him. you saw they had a little arguement with the thief pointing at his bag like "you better put this tablet in your bag, somebody could steal it!", and going away as if nothing had happened. stealing is common at such events with many immature guys and expensive small gadgets like phones, tablets and gear lying around everywhere.

Your third point frankly makes you look like a chauvinistic caricature from the fifties.

Its not a suggestion, is the REALITY.. You can't left your things in peace while you go for a bathroom. The whole fucking world knows that. Yes, the guy who took is a cunt, he's 100% wrong.
My third point was raised by other people, I think the comparison is totally nonsense, but anyway, I just showed my opinion that If you look for trouble, you will have. And that you can avoid or minimize it.
point 4) We all act like that already on some countries. The society didn't collapse.
You guys try to think in the IDEAL world. But that's not our world. You might aim for that, but your actions in the present needs to adapt to its reality.
Check your logic: Leaving your money on the table.. you know people might steal.

Relying on other people following the law is unbelievably retarded and naive, and taking it to the extreme to prove your point proves absolutely nothing. Naniwa has some degree of fault in this situation; however, that doesn't in any way make the thief any less of a douche. Similarly, if a girl is walking around with a short skirt alone in a high risk area, then she has made a horrible, horrible mistake. Naturally, if she gets raped, that doesn't make the rapist any less of a terrible person or any less the rapist's fault; however, said woman possesses some degree of fault as well for the situation as she made a pretty major mistake. Basically, it's like walking around in a gang area while flipping a gold coin. If you get robbed, the robber isn't any less of a jerk for robbing you, and he isn't at any less fault for the crime; however, that doesn't change the fact that it was fucking retarded to practically show off your gold coin to all the poor, violent, drug-addicted criminals in the area. What I'm saying is, fault isn't a constant value that can only be distributed differently. There can be differing total amounts of fault, spread among different people. To go back to the rape example, the rapist is 100% at fault. All blame for the rape crime needs to go to him. However, the woman could also simultaneously possess, say, 10% of the fault. While it isn't her fault that there are people like that in the world who would do that, she (let's assume that she has some degree of street smarts and at least one guy friend who would help her if she didn't have a ride, most people are like that) put herself in a high risk situation that she could have avoided.
The naive dudes in this thread made me puke. Maybe Naniwa will learn something from this - not to trust them "safe" places, if there even were any.
And some people are reaching when comparing this petty thievery to raping and stuff, please.
You leave your stuff unattended and then they get stolen. Yeah, its the thief who is guilty, but at least I would blame myself for being that stupid to leave my stuff to be that _easily_ stolen. When you leave your stuff like that, it really _raises_ the chances that your stuff gets stolen. It would be different if it was some break n enter, but in this case it seems it wasn't.
I don't really understand why people are so picky about gaming equipment anyway... Sure, Naniwa is left handed, so he uses a lefthanded mouse - I suppose I get that much, bet the rest of it? Mechanical keyboards, the different switches, programmable mice, certain mousepads, etc. etc. - it's ridiculous. You don't see players in real sports blaming a missed shot on equipment, I can't figure out why gamers think it makes such a big deal.
people confuse what we have to do and what we should do. We have to carry shit around with us because of douchebags, but we shouldnt have to. The same people who argue naniwa is to blame for being mugged have the responsibility to show what the differendce is between this and arguing that its the womans fault for being raped since she was after all not walking with a man at her side at all times. Or indeed for being stoned to death for adultery. After all, she knew that was what would likely happen.
Theres a big difference between saying naniwa shouldnt leave his gear lying around and saying hes to BLAME for it being stolen. The first is simply a statement of fact, ie the nature of the world is such that if a does x then y is likely to occur hence a shouldnt do x if a wants to avoid y. The second is a normative proposition and ventures into the territory of justifying whatever bullshit you can think up just because "the world is such".

Bad analogy. In "real" sports, they usually don't have a problem with people stealing their equipment. If you forced a tennis player play with a different racket or a golfer play with another set of clubs you can be sure they would blame the equipment if they lost.

If you take a chance by leaving your gear to be easily stolen, you should blame yourself.
If the thief comes and rips the gaming gear from your hands and runs away, then there was really nothing to do.
If you badmouth a bigger dude and then get your ass handed to you, blame yourself.
If someone just doesnt like your face and beats you up because of that, well that sucks and there is nothing to do.
The world is such, doesnt mean anyone has to like it or accept it. Causality is always there, no denying it and one can affect the outcome by ones actions.

The rape/stealing comparison is not an intelligent one to make. There's been plenty of research/discussion into it, and it's just a myth, mostly propagated by idiots and the naive. It's just a reflection of how far we still have to come before we fully get away from the patriarchal roots of society. Have a look at the slutwalk movement, or do some cursory research into the area.

Likewise to you buddy, nobody intelligent is saying that Nani should bear all of the blame, but part of it, which is reasonable.
Edit:
I remember attending an event with friends for something. I ask one friend to watch our stuff (4 people's worth of backpacks) for a few minutes so we can use the restroom. I come back to see him wandering around our stuff (kind of like Nerchio's being around it but not actually watching it) and I go off on him for not actually watching our shit. Fast forward 3 events later, he's the only person out of our group to lose stuff.
When you attend live events in any capacity, keep track of your shit at all times or have someone reliable watch it for you.

A guy gets murdered in his home, but he was stupid enough not to have bought a gun (and lets assume murders often occur in this example) so then hes partly to blame? I think not.

I got your point. If I were to choose one or another: I would agree more with people who BLAME naniwa, than with the folk that are just naive and say that naniwa had no part to the outcome. ie. not agreeing totally with your second point.
Ooooh no someone stole a few hundred dollars worth of replaceable stuff, that he probably got for free from some old sponsor or team...
How do you lose a backpack with a few things in it? Think about it, when you are playing, you are using the shit right? So they would be stealing an empty bag. While not playing, your backpack should be on your back right? So he clearly put it down, walked away from it for at least 15 minutes, and expected to come back and see it sitting there where he put it? What an idiot lol.

Reaching much? That last example is plain stupid. I think the situations here are putting yourself into position to get robbed or mugged. Why didnt you just go and say "It was your fault to live in hiroshima 1945". Both examples are equally stupid. And I can only think that either you are raging or don't really have anything better to say.
Someone might have no intention of stealing naniwas stuff, but because they were there he just took it. Just like you described in the first paragraph, there are these fucking people who just do it, because they can and they think they can get away with it. It sucks.
Partly blaming naniwa doesnt take the blame off from the thief. He would get the same sentence or fine anyway. And because the thief would "defend" himself by saying: "I took the chance", the police probably would advice the guy who had his shit stolen to not leave his shit lying around on public places. Ie. Maybe implying that it was stupid to do and you could say maybe it was a bit of your own fault.
But when talking about stealing a mouse and keyboard vs. rape or murder. I would say if you put out a poll that "if you had a chance to steal 100 euros, would you. Same for rape and murder. I still think the percentages would be the highest at stealing 100 euros, and least on the murder. Thieving not physical, rape and murder physical, dunno why people always play the rapecard.
I dont really know what the problem is with taking some responsibility and blame yourself when you get shit stolen from you. Maybe some people just cant handle making mistakes.

If he left his door open, then he has some of the blame, at least make equivalent arguments; Nani was either careless or not careful enough with his stuff and it go stolen. Again, people are saying that Nani needed to be more careful with his stuff.
As for removing blame from the offenders, no? Nobody is absolving the thieves, stop assuming that just because some blame is being assigned to Nani means the thieves are now free of their crime. I have no idea where you are getting this from.
Would it make you feel better if people said Nani needs to be more careful with his stuff at events? Because that's exactly what most sensible people are saying.

No, he ordered/received new parts recently and started streaming today I believe according to his twitter. sucks but glad he's back.

According to Nani himself the gear was worth roughly 1000 euro, which is way more than a few hundred dollars. Check your facts before you post.

Let us see them facts then. You happen to know people usually lie the amount being too high, especially in the cases of thievery, to get some more money from the insurance company. Not saying its always the case.

People frequently talk shit on forums to inflate their own ego because they're insecure about their own lives. Not saying that YOU're doing it, of course.
