QFT. This is exactly what I thought of this...
Stephano said that as if it was true or it really happened... But then again, his English isn't his main language.

Can't he get arrested for this shit? Americans can't make this kind of joke for sure. Let alone he is pretty serious there.

Blings expression is incredible haha.
This is really bad for Stephano, I don't even understand why you'd even joke about something like this.

You have chosen to have no real ID friends because all of the ones your WOULD have are all pro-gamers, and you don't want the temptation to troll their audiences when they are streaming and potentially alienate all of your sponsors when the TeamLiquid forums explode after a viewer uploads a screenshot of your remarks?
You sir, have prepared for everything. If there is a nuclear attack, I am coming to your basement.

if it was a joke, it really doesn't matter in the scheme of things.
however it really shows what type of person he is, and that is a fn dumbass.
eg is screwed lol, stephano was meant to bring them out of the gutters and the kid can't even get to the playing part.

Plenty of cases in real life where comments such this has led to at least an formal investigation by the police; A few years ago in Sweden a local politician was investigated, charged and found guilty after he had confessed privately to a friend via SMS; "I've just had a 'fun time' with a 15 year old".
Now, granted they only used the SMS as reason for starting the investigation and that they only actually continued with a formal prosecution once they got more evidence, its still pretty dumb to make comments like this, in any form or context. If nothing else you avoid the risk of being investigated by the police, and even if your innocent and didn't do anything I still believe you rather not be under investigation at all.
Sure, police can do whatever they want as long as it's legal. Investigating a person is not punishment however, and EG is applying a punishment. I don't really see how what you said pertains to what I said.

A suspenscion in eSport is still no punishment dude ... He will still be overpayed for the rest of the year 
|
Strange decision.
Saying I raped or even killed somone is no criminal offense. Maybe there is more to the story...
Especially the part where EG says that there might be more ramifications after his seems strange
|
So what if Stephano's comments were indeed true and actually happened? Now he just provoked an investigation on him...

It's a punishment. What you're saying is that it's not a significant punishment, and that is debatable.

So you think the suspension is only appropriate when it's a criminal offense??
A criminal offense would result to a criminal offense punishment...

What a horrible way to start the day... 
Well there goes my dream of meeting Stephano in person.Fuck!

It's a punishment presumably within the bounds of the employment contract. EG is completely allowed to enact it. It's not a punishment that they weren't allowed to hand out.

Lol. Stephano just pulling the wrong jokes at the wrong time. Too bad.

Stephano has his own personality and charisma. Assuming it was a joke, I don't think it deserves such punishment or attention at all. Pedophilia and homosexuality are both perversions and people in gaming community are joking about the latter all the time. I dislike such a hypocrisy morality as much as I dislike perversions.
Also, I didn't read his contract, but how can they suspend him just for joking?
User was temp banned for this post.
Because this is real life, it's not just a video game. What kind of joke about abusing a 14 year old is funny or even appropriate.
Stephano needs to grow up and not tell bad jokes.

You should have seen DeMuslim's stream when Stephano first moved into EG (before he was signed) and he was pretending to be really upset and calling Demu a racist. He has a very edgy, deadpan sense of humor. Better than most native speakers. That's why he's the best American.
Yes, if only there were a punchline... I once heard from a lady in my village that there were types of humor other than what can be found on a Laffy Taffy wrapper. I had her burnt at the stake for being a witch.

When I was 19, I fucked 14 year olds. The laws are bs. Such a small age difference and there are some slutty 14 year olds for sure. What a joke. All the people on their moral high horses.
