Wait I thought Nathanias was a dickbutt that the community collectively shunned due to his insulting comments towards top Zerg players--has he been let out of the doghouse?

He made some dumb comments for sure. People were upset, but just like other drama's it ended fairly quickly and life went on as usual.

Nathanias has been the same forever, people just witchunted for like 2 weeks, then stopped noticing.

It's like textbook starcraft community shit.
ehhh I don't think player sentiment toward him has improved or anything, but players disliking a caster doesn't typically get in the way of someone getting a job (maybe we won't see him casting with Lambo & clique any time soon )

I don't think that people forgot, he still gets called out from time to time on reddit. But it's not up to the community to decide who gets on the show and who doesn't. Besides, considering how that incidence was ignored by the Pylon show, I conjecture that Nate and Dan/Cobra are good friends.

He is but he is a terran so everything is normal. I personally don't watch any of his castings and terrible interventions but for 1/3 of the community, insulting players is cool.
The Pylon Show ressouces for all your needs. Vods, livestream and news. The Pylon Show is a StarCraft Talk Show with your host @Artosis Live every... I conjecture that Nate and Dan/Cobra are good friends.

I can't change your mind and I understand that many will hold a negative opinion of me for a good while that I certainly earned but many of the "toxic" remarks I make are one-off moments that naturally going to be blown up. I did apologize and have since not once defended what I said about Lambo or the other players.
The truth is that most people who see these snippets don't watch my stream or really know how I normally am and that is the consequence of my actions to have the worst (and best) moments singled out for everyone while normally my stream is quite normal like many others.
Several folks like you that feel I've wronged the scene in an abhorrent way constantly message me and reply to me in chats about how I don't deserve to be a part of the scene and that I hate everyone and the game. While I certainly don't believe this to be true I can see how my rage moments could make someone think I'm a terrible person and I am sorry if I have lessened your enjoyment of StarCraft.
It's to the point now that most of the time when I try to defend myself in a place like this I just get replies saying that I'm faking or lying but the only way I could possibly get how I feel across to you is if you were to give me a chance and either watch the stream or privately talk about these things. The latter is difficult to do with the court of public opinion and frankly speaking there is no reason any of you should waste your time watching my stream just to see if I truly do balance while all day (I do not!).
Lastly, the clip that was originally shared to damn me was from early December 2019, where I was reviewing the map pool from the TLMC and pointing out how every map had to have free vision spaces for zerg and no air-space to hide Terran units. I was venting about how I felt that the community makes all these concessions for the difficulty of Zerg players that allows "mediocre" players to excel far more than the "mediocre" players of other races. The language I used (to be clear, saying players would be homeless if they didn't play zerg) was certainly too far and uncalled for considering I've never had almost any actual social engagement with many EU players as we do not hang out at events(naturally I spend time with other talent and try to see my American friends that live far from me).
I don't think anything will come of this post but if you read all of it and still hate me then I really am sorry that I managed to poorly communicate my opinions and feelings this badly. You may not care but I am working on being a better person every day.
