I honestly believe it is a little ridiculous to try to take his rights away simply because he is populer. If he didn't have 5000+ viewers with every stream people would be fine with his words and his cursing. However, because he is a popular figure, people think that he should be censored. I find that a little stupid. While he doesn't say nice things, I fully believe he has the right to say those things.

It's off limit for reason you will never get it unless you are the minority. why do you think people get fired on the spot in most professional setting? because they are babies and you are the real man who can deal with feelings being hurt?

wake the f up.

Ok I am a minority I have never been called a "gook" or whatever he said. I have been called names that people would consider to be very offensive. So why don't I get it?

English isn't my mother tongue and I didn't even know the word 'gook' before.
But I can't help to feel like extensive use of stupid words 'defuses' them. Like when I hear 'nigger' I think of rap music and it sounds like 'bro' to me. If I called someone 'bastard' I wouldn't even think a split second of 'illegitimate children'.

Then again, I am not English and its words all seem less powerful and unemotional to me.

Just because OP shit talked to someone means all of his argument must be false and this thread should be deleted! Fuck off, and stop using ad hominem fallacy. Being a public figure doesn't mean your freedom of "speach" is limited. You can say whatever you want, but saying something that the majority considers wrong WILL tarnish your reputation/stance.


Then what other reason has he to make this thread? Why didnt he just talk to destiny in person? Destiny accept any skype caller. He could have settled this in a more grown up way, but he decided to be douche and trying to ruin as much of destiny life as possible. And yes, because Warden is a hypocrite, his argument DOES FALL TO THE GROUND! You cant go out and say, destiny is a shitty racist and uses so foul language. And then call somebody a fucker and cancer dog.

Him being the hypocrite that he is, tells that he isnt interested in cleaning up the community, but to get revenge and damage destiny as much as possible. And yes, if destiny says shit it will come and bite him in the ass. But guess what?! He makes that decision on his own! He knows what he's doing, and saying at all time.

137 pages and this thread was just started yesterday. >.>

My opinion on this, is that quantic can do whatever they want with destiny, though they're probably not going to do anything about this. The first - and only - time I turned on Destiny's stream, he was swearing up a storm. Quantic got him regardless of that. It's their choice.

Dear Destiny,

I remain, as ever, your fan. Please continue standing up for yourself.

To the people that are upset by Destiny's language:

If you are not gay, you have no reason to be offended by someone using the word "faggot."
If you are not Vietnamese or Korean, you have no reason to be offended by the word "gook"

If you are gay, but you aren't the person that Destiny directed this "slur" to, you have no reason to be offended.
If you are Vietnamese or Korean, but you aren't the person Destiny directed this "slur" to, you have no reason to be offended.

If you are gay, and you are also the person that Destiny directed this "slur" to, I regret to inform you that being gay does not grant you immunity from having your feelings hurt. Whatever injustices that gay people may have suffered from the beginning of man all the way to today do not transfer to you. Whatever injustices that you as a gay person may have suffered from the beginning of your life to today were not perpetrated on you by Destiny, and so have no bearing whatsoever. In addition, being gay does not automatically mean that anyone else in the whole entire world has to give a damn about you or your feelings.

If you are Vietnamese or Korean, and you are also the person that Destiny directed this "slur" to, I regret to inform you that being Vietnamese or Korean does not grant you immunity from having your feelings hurt. Whatever injustices that Vietnamese or Korean people may have suffered from the beginning of man all the way to today do not transfer to you. Whatever injustices that you as a Vietnamese or Korean person may have suffered from the beginning of your life to today were not perpetrated by Destiny, and so have no bearing whatsoever. In addition, being Vietnamese or Korean does not mean that anyone else in the whole entire world has to give a damn about you or your feelings.

If you are not gay, and are also not Vietnamese or Korean, then basically you tattled on someone. You were not and indeed could not possibly been hurt by his use of the word "faggot," and you were not and could not possibly have been hurt by his use of the word "gook," since you are neither gay nor are you Vietnamese or Korean.

Nobody has a right to not be offended. A person that intends to insult another will use whatever tool they can, whether its calling someone fat, gay, stupid, ginger, short, ugly, or any word that refers to ones gender or race or lineage.

I do not accept that the pain of past injustices suffered by any people somehow transfer onto people that have not faced those same injustices, and no, i do not believe that being called any name is even in the same ballpark as the actual, real suffering faced by peoples of all races at different times throughout history.

I believe every human being, just by virtue of its existence, deserves to be treated with respect and dignity, and if I could see any evidence that the OP was actually harmed by this then i would take a different stance, but from what i have seen there is nothing to make me believe that any harm was actually done.

And before anyone brings it up, no, i do not accept that words cause harm. If Destiny had called him a gook or faggot and then began encouraging people to commit acts of violence then it would be a different story. The OP was called names that have no more weight than any other insult, and as far as i can see it, he tattled on Destiny for it.

Who are you again? So now people can't have a right to be offended? If you have the right to be offensive I sure as hell should have the right to he offended. It's really cute how you talk about racism like its a thing of the past, like for some reason our ancestors have a right to be offended when insulted because of their race and we don't.

The idea that words are just words baffles me. Words are how we communicate, we won't have nothing without a medium to express thought. Words are used to express anger, love, joy. Words are supposed to invoke an emotional response.

You have a right to be offended. But if you're offended that's your problem. If you don't like Destiny, TURN THE FUCKING STREAM OFF. This site shouldn't be bending over backwards just to make sure every sensitive yet sadistic prick gets their fucking way.

Why is it all about racial slurs? I do not personally beleve that the word nigger should be "banned" but if you want it like that then we could go one step further: Don't say "SUN" since people have died from skin cancer. This is just one example.

Why "ban" words when you can look at what they mean in that exact sentence... In Destinys case its clearly just a matter of rage and bm. Idra have said a lot worse things than "Gook" yet people have stopped trying to witch hunt him a long time ago.
Idra have said that word that can be connected to offending homosexuals for like the past 4000 years give or take.
"Faggot" is a much more "loaded" word (since the crimes against homosexuals have been far and beyond the crimes against blacks or asians as soon as you look outside of the US)and should ALWAYS be considered the word to avoid most of all. If you want to avoid using any word at all that is.

Please refrain from personal attacks; just because he may have shit-talked before DOES NOT take away from the overall argument that using offensive words are offensive regardless.

I know I would get in trouble at work but that is not the point I am trying to make... I want you to explain to me why I and so many of my minority friends don't get the "it" you speaking over and hwy we don't care if words that are "off limits" as you called them are used when they are used to discriminate against people of our collective races.

Yeah, and it was barely at 20s when I went to school a couple of hours ago.
Destiny threads seems to always be fast moving. I think it is between Quantic and Destiny really.
