Oh well then.
Insulting gays is homophobic, I see
Insulting hamsters, then, is what?
Hamsterphobic?)
Again, this has nothing to do with insulting Muma because he's gay. Get yourself off that hook, you're hung up on it. This isn't falling into that fever-dream of "special rights" that certain people seem to think exists when marginalized people ask for equal protection and representation. The issue is xQc using an inappropriate, derogatory term that was poignantly directed at a person with whom that term carries excessive weight in an attempt to denigrate him. The issue is the term and how it was leveraged, and not the fact that Muma likes other dudes.
Best reply on these boards ever! I'm glad I wasn't drinking when I read it. These boards need a like button.

I'd attribute your attitude towards this is that you're just a normal guy with a sense of humor that allows dumb shit to just roll off your back. Gammers trash talk and its fun to do. Hell in my guild pretty much anything is worth a go and we have a few gay guys on our raid team that dish it out/and take it like pros. People like the OP get too worked up over dumb shit.
I've given my opinion on this in the other thread but I mostly agree with Thorin.
It's worth listening to for some perspective.
Both reddit AND xqc fans are fucking obnoxious though, as per usual.

Theres no professionalism anywhere in Overwatch, even light shit talking wouldnt fly in any competitive sport, maybe if all the players matured a little the sport would be more respected.
I dont see the point in throwing the book at someone to pander to SJW bullshit, whilst allowing any kind of shit talking to occur as well.
Well if you had DS you probably wouldn't feel great about people calling you a retard since it's something you have no control over that has significantly affected your life. Obviously they can go ahead and say that but only gutter trash picks on the mentally handicapped.

Some form of trash talk is actually entertaining though.
Claiming 'light shit talking' wouldn't fly in a competitive sport makes you seem incredibly out of touch.
In fact some of the original trash talk between Muma and xQc was actually entertaining and fun to follow, but I'd be parroting the video I posted above at that point.

I don't think it's inherently homophobic, it's something personal that relates to the guy you're trying to insult in order to drive the point home. For example, if he was fat, you'd call him a fat piece of shit instead. And that's also exactly what Muma did, taking something personal and using it against xqc by using his words against him / his team.
As for the punishment, eh ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. If your team has a code of conduct that you broke, you own up to it, do the time and pay the fine.

He deserves it. Uses gay specific trash talk against the only openly gay player in the league. I'd kick him off the team personally.
Not very professional of him, but he's not wrong.

Is it really? I'd love more professionalism in the game, more quality interviews about tips, tricks and plays in a relaxed setting that gives the players (most of whom seem very camera shy) a chance to relax and break down their plays. I dont give a flying fuck about nerdy backchat before and after games/wins, its always corny, forced and just awkward to watch.
If you want that trash talk then dedicate a moment to it in a controlled environment, the casters are the only ones that seem to understand what professional banter is, they are entertaining the players arent. The players get a mic shoved in their face and get told to be funny in a language that often isnt their native one.
This kind of toxic language is just as bad as saying things like "throw like a girl."
