It's two communites almost FGC is the one community that had a systematic backlash against being professional and is filled day to day with stupid drama and people acting like man-childs, not saying that there aren't amazing individuals in that community who put in DECADES of work just like BW legends, I just listed it because people on these forums continuously complain about professional conduct and defend stupid shit like these tweets. | ||

It's two communites almost It's not really two different communities, it's just the anonymity of those chats. They move so quickly. You don't really associate people with the comments being made, unless you're hanging out on a smaller channel. So people tend to act a bit stupid on those chats, as opposed to on shoryuken/TL, where you will get banned/criticized for being an idiot. | ||

Admit rape tweet is offensive ---> claim tweet criticizing tweet saying "bout to rape a girl" is worse than rape tweet ---> admit retardation. | ||

We all know professional sports has problems, but Esports is EVEN WORSE right now, we should aim to be just as professional as professional sports and overcome those crippling problems that professional sports have. Again if even professional sports doesn't tolerate shit like this (which you apparently look down on), why is there anyone making excuses for Has / Nightend? | ||

People who take such definite stances on something that affects a total of 3 parties (maddelisk, Kas, tournament organization) are just looking for something to argue about. | ||

It affects everyone capable of learning from the mistakes of others - and people who might otherwise be put in similar situations if not for the people who learn from this. | ||

I also feel bad for Maddelisk for being put in such an awkward situation. I am most angry at NightEnD. Kas' tweet was inapropriate, but IMO it has nothing on NightEnD's personal attack on Maddelisk. | ||

Sure, to the people who are heavily invested and informed about football it could be taken as a joke in poor taste (considering it is an apt analogy for how badly Germany would murder Israel's chances at winning.) But to those who aren't super big soccer fans or sc2superfan's, it sounds really really fucking bad. On top of that, this sounds 10000000000000x worse to the organization/sponsors. There's a bunch of butthurt Kas fans coming in here whining about how he lost out on a chance to earn fame and money. What they don't realize is how much damage Kas's actions could have done to the organization. If the tournament admins had responded slower or been dumb enough to defend Kas's stupidity, then Fragbite could have gone under in the resultant media frenzy. Esports organizations like Fragbite depend on sponsors to operate. Sponsors don't like being associated with rape in any form whatsoever (it's pretty bad for business y'know). If the sponsors pull out, then that means no more sc2 tourneys (and the current one might not even be able pay out prize money). It could also mean no more CS:GO tourneys, no DOTA, no LOL. Considering the razor thin margins of esports tourneys (esp sc2), Kas's actions posed a giant fucking threat to the jobs of dozens if not hundreds of employees and players.

Proffessionals, specifically NBA and NFL players use "nigga" all the time. Kas knew he was far better than maddelisk and it was clearly a joke. Its definitely not worth a suspension. It should only be bannable offense if he were to use something more derogatory such as "pussy" or "faggot" in his tweets which is completely unacceptable. "Rape" is not really negative in gaming culture. Fragbite Masters admin were too harsh on this one. White people don't say nigga. Gamers don't say "I'm gonna rape a girl". | ||
