I looked at this website because I was like "Team YP... what the hell does YP stand for? Are they sponsored by YellowPages or something?"

So, I go to their website and can't see what YP stands for or who any of their sponsors are. Does anyone know the answer to these 2 questions?

Pornography is a sideshow. Always has been, always will be.

If E-Sports wants to be legitimate, pornography sponsors are exactly what it doesn't need. What a step in the wrong direction.

Back in 2011, I really thought I'd be watching SC2 games on TV by now, with teams sponsored by Budweiser and stuff. Instead, I'm still watching games on streams with viewership that has declined, and teams sponsored by pornographers.

How could SC2 have been managed so poorly?


What are you talking about, pornography is one of the most profitable industries out there and has been for decades.



Or not.

So a legitimate company with money to burn sponsors e-sports yet people are using the product that company generates revenue from to say they shouldn't be a part of the scene.

I think Razer makes terrible peripherals, every single razer product I have owned has broken far too early in its life. I'd still be happy if they sponsored some SC2 players.

Just because you dislike the idea of consenting adults on camera without clothes on doesn't mean you should shun a sponsorship from such a company.

Using ur logic I guess we should welcome matchfixing mafias as sponsors too then huh


That's a ridiculous conclusion to reach.

I don't understand how this is a problem in 2016. What goes through the head of someone who puts into the rules of WCS that the player can't be sponsored by a porn company etc... I would understand this in Saudi Arabia, but I was under the (seemingly naive) impression that the "western world" is different.

Because public relations.


Public relations with whom? Monks? Isn't this perpetual cycle of "problems" just in people's heads? Does this feared "public" even exist? If it does, do they even use internet?

A lot of new gamers are kids and need their parents' money to buy games. Do you think parents would like it if little Jimmy's favorite player is sponsored by Pornhub? I mean it seems normal to us because we're basement dwellers, but the world isnt as progressive as people think. Porn is still a taboo in a lot of places. Everyone watches it, but they don't really talk about it or advertise it in public.
There's your answer. People like this guy. Note that he is American and uses words like "little Jimmy", "basement dweller" and conflates the world to consist solely of USA. Why tournament organisers seem to care is another question.

you know, the reason a lot of people disagree with porn isn't that they're morally uncomfortable with "consenting adults having sex for money," it's because the porn business is largely fueled by women who don't want to be doing it and need the money. so that's a pretty legitimate reason to be uncomfortable with the sponsorship

not saying they should be banned from having a team or anything (that would be ridiculous), but it's not a stretch to find it kind of disgusting lol

Don't you love it when people post popular misconceptions and don't back them up with any proof or source? I sure do.

Your statement needs facts to back that up.

There was a documentary on the porno industry, and your statement contradicts what many actors said about being in the industry. Sure they do it for the money, but they also enjoy having sex. Why not get paid for what you enjoy. No one forces them into doing it.

Porno of the past is not the same as today. Sure there are plenty of women in that situation, but to use the word 'largely' is a stretch.

Mind you, the comments from the documentary are anecdotal at best, so you could very well be right. However, without facts, your statement could be wrong as well.

I can't remember the documentary, it was shown on tv late one night, but they interviewed many actors and all of them said they are in this industry first because they enjoy sex, and second for the money.

^ Not to mention many of the younger / newer pornstars (like Sasha Grey) have said similarly positive things about the industry in their interviews.

I bet in 99% of the jobs, people don't actually enjoy what they do, but they need money, so they do it.

Pornography is not good for a relationship or your sex life, just like cheeseburgers are bad for your health. Even though, mounds of research show that, people have shockling little self control when it comes to these things. But I don't really care what you do because it doesn't affect, but if releasing my history is all it takes for you to be wrong, here ya go (ignorant arguments are fun):


*Nevermind, I just realized my email address was shown in my history.*

I guess the people that saw my history can feel free to email me.

Good god man. Obvious joke goes way over your head.

Also it's interesting that you equate cheeseburgers to porn, because McDonalds sponsors a shit ton of professional athletes and I don't hear any complaints from people about that lel

You just don't talk to me enough brah to hear those complaints.

And it didn't go over my head man (though I do think mebe mine went over your head), I just took it a step further. Jokes are more funny when they are true. Make it true. Now where is your history? I wanna see if you like shemales.

Show me how okay it is.
