This has to be the weakest protest I've ever seen. I agree, the word was poorly used, but you're shooting Superman because he lacks articulation when hot under the collar.
I will be protesting TotalBiscuit at ESWC. Join me - Page 4

Since there is no overarching eSports organization, we have to fight for our right to be included and protected ourselves. I like to think this community can be a little more laid back than the NBA. Besides, context is everything. | ||

Never have I heard of TB insulting particular groups with the intent of doing so. Saying 'faggot' or 'retard', in modern day, has nothing to do with insulting homosexuals or mentally disabled people. Please return to 1843 whence you appear to be coming from. | ||

His Twitter account is a scroll of bigotry. | ||

I personally feel that if you want to make a professional career out of casting you should try to avoid using highly offensive terms such as fagot. You are in the public eye and you need to remember that. Whether you feel using the word was ok or not I feel you need to be more careful with word choice in public. Such as on the stream. I feel you probably offended a number of members of the GLBT community and this is a result of it. Maybe the word regularly was inappropriate in my post but you have said it before. Those are my 2 cents. Whether you agree or not is your prerogative. So what you're saying is, you don't have any evidence of it. And it's spelled faggot, at least know what the word is you're supposed to be getting upset over. | ||

You cannot assault someone because you take the literal meaning instead of the implied meaning. I don't agree with anyone's use of it since it keeps the word alive and it has a pretty negative connotation | ||
