There are no safe online communities for LGBT SC2 players or fans, and it's because SC2s public figures, like TotalBiscuit, have little comprehension of how their words perpetuate an ugly form of discrimination that has been present in online gaming since forever. If eSports is going to gain true mainstream credibility, then casters and players must begin to police their language and actions in a way to be inclusive of everyone who wants to participate. TotalBiscuit's language usage, which routinely isolates and targets gays, women, and the mentally disabled, is completely and totally unacceptable to this end.



Thanks for reading. Let's organize.



edit: TotalBiscuit will be casting the ESWC finals in Paris this year, starting on October 21st. If any fellow French SC2 players would like to join me in protesting his recent (and unapologetic) display of bigotry, I would greatly appreciate it. We do not have to do anything too flashy or disruptive. Standing in silence with signs demanding an apology should be enough to get our point across. In the meantime, please fill out the contact form below to let ESWC know the type of person they've chosen to have represent their event.There are no safe online communities for LGBT SC2 players or fans, and it's because SC2s public figures, like TotalBiscuit, have little comprehension of how their words perpetuate an ugly form of discrimination that has been present in online gaming since forever.

He used the word "fagot" in reference to an individual who posted a fake paypal link in Spectral's chat room while spectral was raising money for a new wheelchair cushion. Regularly uses the word 'gay' when referring to something as being bad or negative.

If this is it, it doesn't matter; two wrongs don't make a right. If this is it, it doesn't matter; two wrongs don't make a right.

He called a guy that was trolling Spectral (a paralyzed sc2 player) who was trying to raise money for some medical device a faggot. Let it be known that this fellow was linking his own paypal in the chat stream trying to siphon donations from Spectral. If that isn't the definition of a faggot, I don't know what is. To the OP, get over it. No one thinks Totalbiscuit is being hateful to the LGBT community except for a small minority. Grow up.

HavokTheorem Profile Blog Joined January 2011 New Zealand 232 Posts #19 John Bain is one of the people I respect most on the internet. I don't want to act like a fanboy but my automatic reaction is to want some evidence of his 'bigotry'. I just can't imagine him picking on any group undeservingly. Please do link whatever material inspired you to instigate this protest so I can judge fairly. The truth does not require your approval.

Ruscour Profile Blog Joined April 2011 5116 Posts #20 Someone posted the wrong paypal donation link in the quadriplegic's stream chat to cheat people and take money from the kid, TB called him a huge fucking faggot.



You've gotta be joking OP, this is beyond ridiculous. Faggot doesn't even mean homosexual any more, it's just a generic insult. Grow up.
