So Destiny just needed to be up front about Bluetea being ugly and this would all be OK. I'm sure she would've appreciated the honesty and not leaked his dick pics.

privately* what privately, you just criticize her a few more times few pages ago I just reiterated what was already public..... I mean yeah just because this has been made public didn't change my opinion on her looks, I'm sorry, and I also told her that when we discussed on skype while she was on steven's account you're not sorry, you're just a douche bag. At least have the decency to apologize for your criticism now that its public we get it, you're an unlikable ass. Nobody wants to hear your newly iteration of why someone is ugly yeah sure I'm a douchebag because I don't think a girl is good looking whatever floats ur boat man -_- you went past the point of stating someone is not good looking, and keep your disrespectful and inconsiderate criticism on someone's look to yourself. At least he's not indulging in dishonest 'omg I'm soooo sorry'. I feel it was disrespectful to said girl, but equally props to Fayth for confessing to it. How do you prop people for being an ass is beyond me. Being an honest douchbag "because that's just how I am" is just another short way of saying "I am inconsiderate and don't give a fuck". Obviously it would be better for honest apologies, but even one for the sake of one shows that at least he cares enough about his images and gives leeway to the victim (not saying what bluetea done is right, fyi) And being disingenuous about it and claiming to be remorseful is good? Especially if you've inferred that you'd KNOW his apology would be bullshit and have him lying through his teeth? I don't feel like spending time debating this, but the reason why should be quite obvious. Apologies, even fake one that he/she doesn't personally believes, gives victim some "face" back. Ignoring it, or worse, repeats what he said sends messages such as "victim is below me and not worth my time" and "I am too proud to admit my mistakes"
This is such an awful viewpoint, it's baffling.
The only reason people like politicians or athletes with the kind of reputation like Tiger Woods apologize is because the people who market them, so, the people who tell them what to say and how to look, tell them they have to apologize in order to not lose their popular support.
People like Tiger Woods need that popular support because he quite literally sells his face. His name on a golf bag or some shit will, I repeat will, sell more units then a golf bag without his name.
For someone on ROOT, this image doesn't exist. And to try and liken the two would be naive and foolish. ROOT players are being sponsored by specific companies, and as such, are required to wear their shit at tournaments and not kill anyone or something. But to think that a progamer is someone who makes money on their image and face, to the point where they have to change how they talk, act, and look is so unbelievably stupid, it boggles the mind. Except for maybe EG or something, 'esports' simply does not operate under the same terms that things like nike endorsements and such do.
Now maybe, in order for esports to become legitimate this has to change, but to be honest, I really don't think I would want to follow esports if it was all about endorsements, selling jerseys with a players name on the back and shit. That's one of the worst things about professional sports, and for me, one of the great things about esports is the fact that the players are real people, it allows us as fans, to relate to them. Can you relate to Lebron James? No, of course not. But progamers are much more human, because they have their faults, their fuck-ups.

Yeah. Thinking someone isn't good looking =/= saying attrociously hurtful things about them on a forum to accompany their picture. lots of people made fun of my looks back in 2005 on a really bad wcg picture of myself nobody on TL was criticized for it 0 fucks was given by me The fact that you remember the criticism of a 7 year picture suggests otherwise. I remember when haypro was C2 on wgtour I guess I care a lot about that too Seems like you cared enough to remember that too. No need to put up a tough guy facade about it though. hahaha you can't be serious, what's ur definition of caring
Generally when people don't care about criticism, they don't remember the exact circumstances when they were criticized. It's not a big deal, for all I know you could be eidetic.

As far as I know, talking shit in their own personal private conversation is completely acceptable, unless it is about some illegal activities or cheating in tournaments etc
Why would they get punished for stating their opinion on a girl's face?
why? because they got caught. thats why. root has to look good for sponsors. catz does the right thing. what does fayth? posts her picture AGAIN. AGAIN says shes ugly and looks like a man. this is a PR nightmare and im sad they sabotage catz so much.

If someone caught you in the act would you apologize profusely, swear it'll never happen again, accept and welcome the scorn of hundreds of people? Or would you think that the response is a bit unfair because you never meant for it to get out in the open, you only got caught when someone shoved a huge-ass microphone in your house. I should not be saying these things in the first place, it is not a nice thing to do. Shame on me for talking behind people's back. But you'd do it again at some point, wouldn't you?
Yes, but I recognize it is a bad thing to do. On the other hand, I am not so terrible a person the things I say are excessively bad. If I have a strong opinion about someone, I would most likely be willing to tell them to their face.

CatZ just jumped on the respect ladder to about 9001.
Can't say i am remotely surprised sadly. GL to both partys i guess?

That would be hypocritical; casters and players keep telling the fans to contact companies when they do things that help the esports community to let them know it is appreciated. Now the tables have turned; that very advice was taken, people are contacting these companies when players they sponsor do things they do not like.
Was this reaction excessive? In my opinion, yes... but I will not condemn those who did contact the sponsors. Imagine this on a larger scale, Rihanna and one of her fans have a small one night stand and took pictures and shit she shows her friends the picture and they all laugh because after whatever happened happened she thought he was gross maybe tried some freaky stuff who knows. this gets leaked or at the very least he finds out so he goes online and breaks into her twitter and facebook to show the whole world her naked body. Tell me what you think of my hypothetical situation. Even though Rihanna mocked this guy and she was REALLY mean, I honestly doubt for even a second the record label would drop her or that she would get any backlash at all. All of you that are saying she isn't wrong in any way are all white knights hypocriting your way to killing entertainment values across the board. Eh...there is an entire website called TMZ that exists solely because of the scenarios you describe.
Even if you remove everything i said and take all the "celebrity" stuff away. It wouldn't make a difference to my point, what he did was gross and disgusting as a intelligent human that i believe he is. What she did is unbelievably over the top and has to be illegal on some levels. In all honesty what if destiny was a girl and this bluegirl person was blueguy. I personally think that people just hate destiny and are finding every excuse they can find to remove him from the public eye. It's really sad and petty.

He did not just call her ugly, he shared nude pictures of her. If it was only the 3 of them calling her ugly, that would have been shitty, but not terrible. Shame on TT1 and fayth for being nasty to her in the chat, but that is not the real problem with the situation.

Also very funny to note is that people are attacking ROOTFayth for saying the girls ugly. Hell this conversation was PRIVATE, it was NOT meant to be public. So what exactly did he do wrong? He is a douchebag for saying his opionion on a looks of a girl? I really dont get this srsly. Tell me WHAT is wrong about saying your true opinion? You never judged about the looks of someone? Acutally this thread is really showing the hypocrit nature of mankind and it makes me sad.
The only thing funny is people citing the same lame excuse that the conversation was supposed to be "private" and that "omg it's not my fault it got leaked". You don't give out passwords like candy, hold content-sensitive conversations using accounts under said passwords then act shocked like something completely out of your control happened when it gets leaked.

Don't you guys have more important things to care about than what some guy said about a girl you don't know in a private conversation?
No, what I think some people find amazing (I guess that's the best word to describe it) is that instead of apologizing, he has come on here and reiterated what he said.
