If you think they influence sponsors negatively against esports, then do something yourself to let sponsors know you support them instead. Hating on *insert group of your choice* won't get you anywhere.

To be perfectly honest - we do need to police ourselves better. Stephano SHOULD be responsible for making sure that stuff doesn't appear on his stream, Destiny SHOULDN'T be using that kind of language while he represents sponsors, and we as a community SHOULD be a lot more open and respectful and use better language. That is, if we continue to wave the "ESPORTS" flag and demand to be seen as professionals. It shouldn't take a bunch of self-righteous asshats dishing out unfair vigilante justice to see that. That said, yes. They are a bunch of self-righteous asshats getting off at the idea of ruining stuff for us because they don't like some cherrypicked quotes they find. | ||

All I'm seeing here is "Fuck you SRS, fuck this shit, fuck off." Sure. Take some time to explore the SRS subreddit so you can get a first-hand impression of how they operate. You can use the search function to find starcraft related threads. | ||

They don't go after people like Demuslim, Thorzain or other players who act decently on streams and at events. They go after the douchebags who make jokes about having sex with 14 year olds and showing their dicks on twitter. I don't think asking teams to discipline players who's actions are detrimental to the overall health of the scene is too much, do you? This isn't high school folks, these guys get paid a lot of money to act like professionals. | ||

How many times haven't I seen some of my friends skanky little sisters and thought, why not. Not because she is 14, but because she is a skank.... EZ PZ to understand, SRS are just trolling and being morons. | ||

Silly kids vs SRS (silly kids). Seems like they are the same type of people to me. | ||

But honestly, as a Redditor myself, the actions of these individual subreddits do not represent Reddit as a whole. Heck, the actions of any individual subreddit isn't representative of the whole, just like the actions of a few trolls on Teamliquid aren't representative of all of Teamliquid or the actions of a few websites aren't representative of the internet as a whole. There are some really good subreddits that have very decent users, though there are definitely other subreddits that are complete garbage with terrible users. But I don't think it's right to judge Reddit as a whole for the actions of a community of trolls, especially trolls like SRS who frequently go out of their way to harass other communities and subreddits. Just my little rant. | ||
