In 2010 however when SC2 exploded, those that had been around on TL and the rapidly growing SCReddit who had followed Brood War were often very insular and had an "old boys club" attitude which was hostile to people coming into the scene with the SC2 beta who had no Brood War credentials. Unsurprisingly most of those people aren't even around anymore. Husky and HD got a metric ton of shit despite being the reason why a lot of people got into SC2 to begin with. HD eventually tapped out, I remember the Reddit thread right before he did just utterly shitting on him. Why are you blaming this on the BW community? Moletrap got even more hate despite being a "BW" guy and that sure didn't help him. The hate Husky got was unfair, but to arbitrarily shift the blame on BW is just as unfair. The reason is that the BW crowd never was large enough to set the tone of SC2 discourse. Especially not foreign discourse like r/starcraft. The BW crowd was utterly blown out of the water in terms of numbers and influence, and to blame "BW elitism" for how the SC2 community treated one of its biggest personalities is simply not fair. | ||
