I think "a low prostitute" might of been a good analogy afterall.

If anyone else does it then it's not. It's just a double-standard which is the result of his popularity. | ||

Calling another obviously Asian person (his name) a gook is unambiguously racist and your eating a cracker thing was one of the worst examples I've ever seen, whether you're offended or not does not invalidate Silvertine's argument. Now whether I actually give a fuck and think he should be punished? No. First off, he posted a comment that only added negatively to the conversation. Did not make a point and was just used to call out a point i made. Second of all, the cracker thing was used to show that one word can be used in different ways. So your point is subjective but the cracker reference made sense. You are probably looking at it the wrong way but that is subjective. Anyways, this thread is for people talking about destiny and the situation around how people react to his behavior. It is not used to find someone in the thread that you can just attack. I am just frustrated that people are trying to negatively affect and in turn, will affect many people. Lets try to keep on topic. Destiny can say what he wants. Its not like hes trying to represent the community in anyway. Btw, Idra said there is something wrong with French Canadians but no one cared. This is obviously a kid just trying to take someone down to make himself feel better. Sorry if i might have brought my points too far beforehand. Also, my argument does not rely on "he's entertaining". Another example of skewing words to make a point. | ||

Calling him a faggot when the opponent's sexual preference was not known at the time was not exactly the most hurtful slur you can sling a somebody. But calling out a person for being of a certain race is most definitely one of the prime example of racial slurring. If, I called someone in college that was a open homo-sexual, a faggot or queer in public, that would be considered a hate crime. Somebody in Rutgers got prison time because he supposedly exposed his room-mate as a queer on the internet. The room-mate jumped off the George Washington Bridge. Professional SC2 players that play with or against other people of different ethnicities are held to a much higher standard of conduct than amateur players that have the freedom of no scrutiny and expectations from Teams, sponsors, etcetera. If one of Destiny's sponsors was Samsung or Hyundai, and Destiny continues to sprout his racial slurs on online videogames. I would see no reason to see why Samsung or Hyundai would want o Sponsor Quantic Gaming or anybody of that team for that matter. Guess what buddy, you don't get to decide when the word "faggot" is a slur or not. It's always a slur and it's always unacceptable. | ||

Because his fans love him, they will happily snatch up these weak defenses because they WANT to believe that whatever he says is ok. I wish this would change, but I do not think it will. | ||

If you are offended by a word, take your case to someone who can ban words and feels empowered to do so. It just forces people to come up with another term though. You can also take the matter to your own hands and block all communications at the start of the match. Anything but mobs. | ||

The guy said it's akin to "standing up at work and shouting about how one of your colleagues has done something naughty and should be punished." My point is that if anyone at any work had done this, they would be fired. So it is, in no way, like the example he stated. | ||

However, in a public sphere a professional sports player cannot say racial slurs or call people 'fucking faggots'. If they did and when they have, there has been major controversy. Inside a game of Starcraft is equivalent to "On the field". | ||

Wait, I can already feel a counter argumenter coming my way. "yes, but esports is still growing and is not big enough to handle all the negative attention that is bound to be thrown it's way now!" I'm sure you can find cases in, I dunno curling? But funny all the negative attention stems from all the people that choose to be offended over this, where I feel it's more a stronger dislike for Destiny's personality and streaming success rather than the words he used in this case. | ||

If you think hes over sensitive, just say it, don't have to be a dick about it. And whats up with the hate towards cheese? This is a strategy game where people can pick their options and execute it well. If he dosen't play your way, does it matter? I am sorry. Can you not read? I am not being a dick. I am saying people should not put down OP because he raised a valid point like you said. I don't understand how my sentences were twisted like that. | ||

Destiny is awesome, let the man speak and laugh at him when he's mad. I'd probably laugh my ass off if I was in the position to beat him and he pours all that urban dictionary at me. lololol rage moar dude P.S. What if it's a compliment XD, he calls you Korean, in starcraft that's a huge compliment. | ||
