Jew isn’t a race, it’s a religion. There is no racism applicable to it. Jews of the time when Judaism was ruled as a race were rather upset because it reminded them of German Nazi persecution as what they considered not only a race of people, but an inferior one. It is a common misconception that being jewish means that you are a race of jews. Anyone can be jewish.

racist or homophobic slurs do no equal yelling fire, it is wrong to use violence against some because you don’t like what they have to say, what he said may have been distasteful but you are the criminal if you think its ok to put some in a cage for saying things that you don’t like. you will get offended in life be a grown up and deal with it.

White-knighting is so popular these days. Karma whores.

I’m Korean, I’m not offended by any of the racial slurs Steven makes because often times he gets very personal with his chat on stream and those who frequent there knows he doesn’t really mean any of it. Its the attitude of how you perceive such statements that really matter here, and taken in the manner that it is supposed to be taken, I find it absolutely hilarious.

Steven has been abiding by his decision to drastically reduce his bm and racism, but at the same time its made his show a little less of what we came for in the first place. If you don’t like it, you didn’t have to stay in it. There is still an audience for this kind of thing, and you can’t shut it off because of you want your personal sense of ethics to be the dominant rule over all of esports.

Maybe I just sound like a rambling fanboy, but its clear this article and video only tells one side of the story. I’m not sure how stuff like this hurts esports at all. With thousands of viewers on his stream every day, Destiny has done more for esports than any of you clowns have.

Yep, good riddance. If other people want to pay to hear an idiot speak, they’re welcome to. I’m glad the companies that sponsor e-sports teams don’t want any part of that, though. It’s not like they can’t find another kid to play Zerg for a living who knows how to behave reasonably.

Nah, sorry: there are standards in this world, and they shouldn’t be lowered to the least common denominator.

I’m more tired of the constant lowering of the bar in what’s considered decent behavior. If you say stupid shit in public (and nothing you say on the Internet especially while streaming isn’t public), you deserve to be shunned. Then maybe you’ll learn the lessons your mother should have taught you.

He’s not honest: he’s just a jerk.

G’bye pal and good riddance.

To those that say this is internet culture and free speech or whatever, frankly if he’s contracted or otherwise working with a company or team, there are rules. If you break those rules you suffer the consequences. You can’t go to work and spout any of that, neither can he.

This is stupid. Steven isn’t racist and everyone talking about this knows it. He has friends of different races, and has spoken about his personal opinions very clearly. There is video record of the majority of what he’s said, and it’s obvious to people who know him that he isn’t actually a hateful person. He jokes, and he uses harsh language, but there’s nothing racist about him. This isn’t a big deal.

Dude, Have you even been to an MLG? The Halo players are so much worst than Starcraft, and this wasn’t in a tournament game where 10k people saw Idra call someone a fucker in front of everyone and flip the bird off at people, It was a random guy on ladder using a cheesy tactic that is basically flipping a coin instead of playing by scouting and Melding/countering to what should be happening. Also, The person he is talking to is not Korean, He is in fact the racial background as destiny. White. But the Korean letters were copied in pasted in a way to say GG, which is normally how to end a game in starcraft by saying Good Game.

So, a white guy got mad at another white guy and called him a gook, What an outrage, stupid Caltu

Yes I’m ok with it. If you’re hurt by words then that’s pretty sad.
