Perfectly understandable that they would kick him. Misrepresentation of an organisation is a good reason, and whether he meant his statement or not is irrelevant.

That said, anyone seriously outraged by this makes me facepalm. These things are said because they know people will get triggered. Don't feed the troll.

I cant believe anyone on this planet believes in muslim extremism and actually hates them... They cannot stand firm without shooting themselves in foot and people believe they are capable for terrorism, 9/11, masacres in Europe, etc. But hating anyone is really stupid.

He didn't agree, he just said, he has to accept his opinion. I think he's fundamentally wrong but he didn't say "hey, I hate muslims, too". More like: "if that's his opinion... so what".
Furthermore, I consider that some kind of Code A must be reestablished.

So once again the question: do we maintain the freedom of opinion of people no matter how extreme and wrong it may be to the full extent? or do we give consequences to those most negative/extreme ones with a firm fist?

In my humble opinion that does not know the context, I'd say a firm line in racial issues is a good thing in light Trump and his fellow closet racists. Freedom of opinion was to allow informed discussions without consequences, not just say racist things for fun.

But when those trolls are taking the white house, we have to reconsider our strategy. Those trolls are no longer just teenagers trying to gain attention.

So... would one get banned from community if he said that he hates islam because of how it lets women become slaves and promotes outrageous gender inequality for instance? If you don't know any muslims and say that you hate them you just hate what makes them a muslim, and there is nothing racist in despising something like this no matter how much you twist it. There is nothing bad in hating something that denies human rights.

But back to the topic: it's hard to believe that it's Guru first stupid bait stunt like that. He knows what world he lives in and TeS had every right to throw him out. They paid him for playing not for stirring shit


The Catholic Church, which Guru as a Pole should be intimately familiar with, promotes gender inequality and denies human rights. And they're one of the tamer big Christian denominations. But for some reason edgy internet racists never say "I hate Christians" when pulling dumb stunts like this. The reason is simple: most Christians, or at least the Western image of most Christians, are not brown people.


However, I might add that looking at the context, Christians were very progressive with what they said about women giving more freedom than before and the core mentality behind is that to God, slave or king, man or woman, he or she is equal to others in God's eyes.
I dunno much about the Quaran, but I am sure it is similar in its message too.

Actually the reason edgy internet racists never say "I hate Christians" anymore is because over the last few years any kind of criticism of religion in general (not just Islam) or especially Christianity, even if it is merited, even if it is polite, even if it is on-topic, is dismissed with a quick "tips fedora m'lady" and a link to /r/iamverysmart. And don't ever mention that you're an atheist or you'll be called edgy and get asked how many katanas you own. Lol. Thank Reddit for that, and the awful awful teens that inhabit it.

Ok, you're from Serbia? A country that massacred 10,000 Muslim Bosniac men/boys less than 50 years for the only fact that they were muslim... And you sir have the audacity to to blame every muslim for the actions of the extremists? So, then by you're logic all serbs committed murders and committed genocide?

I'm glad sponsors are distancing themselves from this kind of speech. I'm ashamed of the people in this forum defending Guru. He can still say he hates Muslims whenever he wants, he just can't do it while sponsored by TeS and Samsung. Get over it.

Your sponsor shouldn't have to apologize for you. Pengwin had a good post about Guru's history.

You do realize we just elected Donald Trump in America right?

I'm pretty sure if the TL mods were in charge of what everyone in America said, he would have been perma banned along time ago.

Hopefully the rest of society continue to strongly reject stuff like this.

So just because Trump won means he's right and hate is the way to go? I really do hope the rest of us continues to fight racism and all it's faces.
"Who cares?" The ones that are the target of the hate and everyone else who is fed up with it.


let's be clear. i hate trump and did not vote for him. point still stands. this politically correct crap is suffocating and actually making the situation worse. forget safe places. let people say what's on their mind. nazi authoritarianism where people lose their jobs over stuff they post online is going to result in a strong reaction in the opposite direction to restore the balance. that's one of the reasons trump won. he could say whatever he wanted and get away with it. people are tired of having to walk on eggshells.


Why do you hate Trump? You seem to have a lot in common.

Actions, such as speech, have consequences. Freedom of speech does not mean freedom of consequences. If you're going to be a racist/sexist/homophobic/nazi dilhole in public, the consequence is that people will take offense. And yes they might invoke *their* freedom of speech and call you out on it, or even fire you over it. Deal with it, you crybaby.


Because Trump is an authoritarian duh.

And authoritarians try to limit speech. The problem today is that these kids go on witch hunts, try to get people fired from their jobs because they got offended. It was particularly bad when SC2 was popular, everyone was "CALL THE SPONSORS" when idra said someone should get cancer. Lol, i hate idra, but i thought it was hilarious.

People are fed up with this stupidity and it will backfire. Its a mob mentality and people being sick of this swung to Trump.

I'm failing to see the difference...

Are you offended that other people got offended and want to limit their rights? Are you on a witch hunt against them?

Free speech doesn't just mean speech that doesn't offend you.

Free speech doesn't just mean speech that doesn't offend you.


the difference is that ppl should be able to say what they want, without worry of a liberal witch hunt hysteria. the kids behind it are just a mob mentality. i'm not offended that people get offended. i'm laughing at them. who cares? i love southpark because they make fun of everybody. i get offended by some of their stuff, but i love them for it. and i'm glad there is no liberal witch hunt hysteria to stop south park (mainly cause it'd get shut down, south park is too awesome). this is how it should be. no safe places. no trigger warnings. macro aggressions everywhere. just say whats on your mind and back up your stuff with solid reasoning.
