Hayate the Combat Butler I think fits those criteria

This is the single dumbest thing I've ever heard. Why the hell would you want people to have to go around tormenting each other just to feel better about themselves?

Sure, there are different levels of pettiness and most people deserve second and even third chances, and general toxicity has never been worth a ban in tf2, but I believe that this specific case involves something so awful and so disgusting that a second chance isn't warranted.

I am pretty mad that Taimou gets to earn large amounts of money playing Overwatch though, but that's another story.

Taimou got banned from ETF2L for glorifying a mass shooter, the OW ban was something entirely different.

Clearly she doesn't, that's why she says as much.

Yes that sure sounds like sexual abuse, and although I'm not going to pretend to know the exact details of uberchain's relationship, abuse is abuse, and it's never justified.

A twitter suspension is meaningless. The punishment has to actually mean something for it to get into their thick heads that taunting abuse victims is not ok. I highly doubt degu and Pred care about their throwaway twitter accounts with <30 followers. Again, it's about who we chose to play with and be a part of our community, and no matter where someone is acting disgustingly, they're still acting disgustingly.

If half of the tf2 players left in the game have publicly taunted abuse victims we've got some serious problems.

Saying that something shouldn't be surprising doesn't condone the action. Like I said, the DDOSer was an asshole. You're creating a false equivalency.

Not necessarily. We decide what kind of people play in our community, and allowing Pred and Degu to continue playing is essentially saying that you can get away with the sort of conduct those two displayed. Taimou got banned for saying dumb shit in a public forum. Pred and Degu did the same thing, so they can get the same punishment.

There's a difference between being mean and taunting victims of sexual abuse

This is disgusting. These two shitheads who make jokes about sexual abuse and use racist slurs at the recipient of said abuse don't belong in our community. ETF2L should perma-ban them immediately.

thank you Leffen

B4nny will dab on stream

You're right, "kill" might not have been completely accurate, but there definitely could be a large decrease in the HL player base, as there has been with the tf2center player base. Even in peak hours tf2center gets less than 1/3rd as many players as it used to (at least in NA). Also pugchamp certainly saw a setback due to faceit's introduction. In the announcement, sigafoo said they'd already gotten pretty much every plat team except for DK that's still alive to commit to the league. There aren't enough good players out there to fill in plat. It is possible for two leagues to coexist, as we've seen with UGC and ETF2L, but sigafoo setting the match time for his league to the same time as UGC matches shows that he doesn't want the leagues to both have teams.

You see, this is just going to split an already shrinking HL community and providing a larger barrier to entry for newer players, since there are only 2 divisions instead of UGC's 3. The end result of this is that HL as a format will die and everyone will be forced to play 6s...

Wait, does that mean sigafoo was on our side all along?
