oh he quit streaming, don't worry he will be back next season

and for the record doritos suck, KETTLE COOKED CHIPS ARE THE BEST

10/10 gonna be late for uni

I'm torn about this. Fortunately I wasn't present when the incident happened, but from what I've heard I'm not sure that was the best thing to do with that many people watching. I think he stepped over the line with the photo, if I was the girl mentioned I would've been very upset.

On the other hand, I had genuinely enjoyed watching his streams in the short period that I did, enough for me to give him a sub. I could see what people liked so much about them, I think he helped people get more interested in the game for sure. The things like demo reviews were helpful, lobbies were fun, and the conversations were pretty fun. I don't know. Whatever happens, it's up to him.

Damn this shit got big. I don't understand why people are freaking out over ruwin calling some girl fat. Imagine a hot ass chick in your school gets fat. You're gonna be talking to your boys and be like damn, she got fat. That's a shame. Girls do the same shit. Are your feelings hurt? Do something about it and go work out. Or fuck what ruwin thinks cuz the boys love my cushion. It's not like he was just slaying her ass publicly cuz she was fat. I mean people are saying his reaction was too much, just think about if you had half of tf.tv on your ass for saying something. Yeah, maybe not the best idea on stream, but definitely not a couple threads worth of 'completely losing all respect for him.'

can someone tell me wt just happened concisely

I'm gonna miss his daily content, and him explaining what goes through his mind as he dms guys and demo reviews and such. I felt like he gave more than other streamers as far as content. With the other big names, I just felt like it's you just watching them play which is cool and all, but not nearly as imformative. Plus ruwin always talked to chat and answered questions and seemed happy/grateful for subs and contributions.

not the total meltdown I was expecting

he'll be back

nothing resembling an apology there, but there was a racial slur. hmmmmmmmmmm ok. the rhetoric in that video was pretty bad, plenty of ad hominem. I also don't think the 'If you don't like it, don't watch' argument holds weight. I object more to the fact that you're a visible member of the community who lots of people look up to and you're saying/doing some pretty unpleasant stuff...

Well one thing is to say "dang she got fat" to your boys, a completely different one is to show her picture to 300+ people watching on the internet while saying "dang she got fat". But I think that was just the last drop, so to say - getting cut from his team and repeatedly getting called trash and washed up by a lot of people including some of the best players out there kind of takes a toll on a guy. If I were him I probably wouldn't feel like streaming either (edit: or playing comp TF2 at all). But eh, too bad. I don't know him as a person but his stream was pretty good

I liked the part where he compared himself to George Carlin.

Pretty ironic how he rants for 20 minute about his "haters" and people who shittalk him on the forums and still tries to defend insulting someone in front of his stream viewers.

i thought this was about ruwin being insufferable and meme-y/sellout-y in his stream rather than some stupid thing about him calling a girl fat on stream

watched his stream a shit ton and he was and still is one of the most influential players to ever touch the game, hope he'll be back.

~8 minutes.
Let's be honest sven, kids look(ed) up to you as a solid player. Nobody gives a shit if you're a douchebag, as long as you play well and maybe teach little things that they can't learn on their own without time and experience. Everybody's cool with plat dropping N-bombs at LAN (i think that's done now) and all that shit. It's a matter of coming off as disingenuous. It's ok to say somebody's shit, it's ok to get mad at somebody, to condescend when somebody asks a dumb fucking question. It's most definitely ok to get cut when not playing your main.

For future reference, this community has a very sensitive, unfocused butthole, that likes to try to squirt it's diarrhea on everything while somehow acting like they are intelligent and all about fairness.

I share the same view as others where I wouldn't have minded him talking about a girl(if it were just that), but the photo was a bit too far.
tbh I wouldn't have expected him to apologize during that stream. also considering like others stated there are other things that slightly affected him. If it were me I don't think I would've been able to handle all the stream chat shit on top of it all. When you're all heated up like that, the last thing on your mind would be to say sorry.
I also don't mind his yolo meme stuff people have been complaining about. He's still a really fun, and interesting streamer. I think if it brings in more viewers, it can only help.

He should just chill for awhile and let everything cool down.
Hope to see you come back Ruwin.

wait a second, so you guys are upset because he called a chick fat?

y'all are living under rocks if you only knew the kind of dumb shit that women babble about on a daily basis, bunch of baby back bitches in here

This whole thing is so damn stupid.

Yeah, the guys said something he maybe shouldn't have but he's not a celebrity, he's not a politician, he's not the damn president. Why is everyone taking so much offence to what was said. If you're taking so much offence to this that you feel the need to attack him over it, You aren't a fan so why do you care so much?!

Everyone needs to chill out.
He did bad, but as a community we have made someone (seemingly) quite something that they love and enjoy and that so many people are entertained by every single day.

Well done Tf2 community. Well done.

I promised myself I wouldn't go in on this thread unless it gets over 100 posts. If this shitfest goes on for 100 posts, I'm goin in hot and spicy.

f

Oh, it's this shit, where you act like any likening whatsoever is an equivocation. In Ruwin's head, he is as "important" as George Carlin. What a pretentious douchenozzle.

seriously how has no one made a 'ruwined' joke yet

I like how a gaming community that commonly uses terms such as "raped", "faggot" and so on are judging another person for calling a fat person fat well done

Also that use the term 'Niggers' and use autism and age as an attack. Such a mature community.

it's the fat apologists man

Saw bits of this, good for you Sven.

the "shit that women babble about" isn't generally to a live audience of 300+ people. also the pic that he showed on stream was really easily traced back to that chick's facebook profile. there's nothing to defend there.

really? because i like how you're lumping the minority that uses "raped" and "faggot" and "nigger" together with everyone in the community, including the people who produced and provided content to entertain stream viewers for 36 hours over the weekend and raise 100k for charity. great work.

e: ruwin showing off and insulting that "chick from high school" was not okay, but the people bashing him for being "washed up" aren't in the right either. whatever the case, the best thing ruwin could have done was be a grown man and just apologize for treating his video game stream as a platform to insult a third party with a link that you can easily trace directly to her public facebook account in at least two different ways. ruwin could have waited a few days to cool down and for the drama to pass over. but nah, he spent 20 minutes soapboxing and turning the whole situation into something about him for some reason, then said "I quit, I'm out." he couldn't have handled this worse.

e2: as a side note, i really enjoyed ruwin's stream. but he made a really stupid decision by showing that girl's picture on stream and insulting her in front of 300 internet strangers, and now that he's in the hot seat, he's handling the whole situation extremely poorly. if he does cool down and start streaming again, i personally won't be watching him, but i can respect the fact that he was an entertaining guy, and likely will still be entertaining should be return to streaming.

coming from cs 1.3 - 1.6 in comp i can assure you this community is no where near as bad as you think

it's easier to stir up drama that people will notice when you have a community this small
