EPTThe first comment was thoughtless, the one by nightend probably emotionally driven rather than malicious, but it's no fucking excuse.
C'mon guys, you're better than this.

Not saying its wrong or right to write something like that, but there is a double standart in male-female interactions that sometimes becomes very unsetteling. | ||

Kas wanted to express to literally rape her. Not as in "rape" how it has (harshly ofc) been forever used in (e-)sports to win vs. someone. Disgusting. I'm sure you have never said something that could have been interpreted in a very bad way even though you wanted to say sth else. | ||

Sad for him but I guess the disqualification is still appropriate. | ||

Seems like the incident can be taken as a learning experience for everyone involved. | ||

But seriously though, FBM is a private organisation, they can disqualify him for owning a bicycle, if they want to do that. The question is not, whether they can disqualify him, but whether they should. I personally don't think, that it is reasonable, since it was clear, that his choice of words was infuenced by not speaking english as his first language and thus heavily underestimating the impact of his words. I mean, everyone here should agree, that he did only try to trashtalk (and failed at that the worst way possible) without malicious intent here and did not actually threaten to do anything to Maddelisk. As I already did in the LR thread, I beg everyone to stay calm for a while and hope, that Kas apologizes to Maddelisk on a personal level and stuff gets sorted out without further drama, that is bad for everyone involved. | ||

Dropping an excellent and still mannered player for making a bad move and saying something that he apologized for is clearly abusive and exagerated. Stop being emotional and think with reason. | ||

Kas apparently apologized and Maddelisk seemed to be fine with the apology, so we should not start a witchhunt against either side. And NightEnd is a fucking idiot | ||

But that was my thought, what if he made that statement about a male player? He probably wouldn't, because his statement plays on the gender of said player and if he were to make a gender play with the word rape on a male player that would be homophobic. It is a fine line he crossed, nice that he tries to communicate in english with his fans. | ||

I imagine it can be pretty scary being a non-English speaker in a predominately English competitive scene. Considering the fact that English is a second language to Kas and the historical usage of the word rape in the context of gaming, I think it's a reasonable possibility that Kas didn't quite know what he was saying. | ||
