I was told to post this on the SC2 forums

They told me to get out and not talk about anything negative to BW in the BW forum, so I'm bringing it here to the SC2 forum because it the meme is related to sc2. In a meme thread in the BW forum, this picture was posted to praise. And people loved the idea of making fun of SC2, mostly commenting about how SC2 doesn't have fans and that people don't like watching SC2. Later down the line, someone posted this. A reversal of roles that makes fun of the fact that BW did not really have a foreign scene, that BW is in decline, and juxtaposing it with all the players who keep asking for SC2 to be like BW despite BW's decline for being BW. The meme that was based on facts got a warning, but the meme that was simply making fun of both a game and its fanbase did not get a warning. I was curious to know why it is that this mindset is present in TL? Why the double standard? Why is it that the only way some people celebrate their love for their game is to make fun of other games. It's no different from the people making fun of LoL for not being an RTS, or people who make fun of Madden Football just because its not geeky enough. Why does the nerd community have such a divisive pseudo-xenophobic personality? Why is making fun of one game okay, but making fun of another game warning worthy? Because that's no longer just personal opinion, but a practicing of TL policy. User was banned for this post.
