Well, I say we should try to do the right thing, lead by example and very much try to understand each other by communicating and be (gently) curious of one another. But the internet is a hard thing and your non illintended words can hurt a lot, thick skin or not.
It's always sad to see threads like this go from meaningful conversations to trolls trying to get a response out of people that actually care. Oh well, thank goodness for the people that actually care, they get stuff done.
QFT on both Novblast and Praise_YoggSaron's posts. Dead on with both posts.
DTBlack, I took your advice on not quoting posts and your post made me laugh. I'd use an apology emote but they took that away, so the best I can give you is the replacement which is... Wow, that's incredible!
Saying offensive words towards someone and actually having racial bias that effects your judgement towards someone are two different things. Granted this is a heated debate that's probably as old as people have pondered their innate differences. Regardless while trying to stay neutral no matter what dream hack tires to do to solve community issues will arise in problems. Sub chat or no chat much like Nintendo uses will spark flames over user freedom, input and an insulting feeling of personal persecution that they aren't trusted to talk in chat even though its just a sweeping generalization. Too much freedom and people will spout whatever they want. I don't think there really is a clear win-win solution here for both sides. Community issues generally have to leave someone out :/.

There's a reason they have the option to turn off chat. I never look at chat on big channels like Kripparian for example.
The solution to all of this is simple- better moderation. Nobody cares so much about being racist that they're gonna keep creating accounts just to get one message through. They do this just to get a bunch of idiots following them, and the idiots copy the stupid racist crap other people are doing just so they can be a part of something. That's why once it gets out of hand, it gets way out of hand.
Sounds like their moderators for this event were just a sh*t show of whoever happened to volunteer with no central leadership or guidelines. Twitch also needs to give them more power, let them ban an abusers IP address or shut them out from watching the stream for 10 minutes. There's always gonna be a few assholes that try to ruin the chat, shut them down at the source and don't let them accumulate a bunch of followers and it's possible to keep this stuff under control.
This is the most popular thread today. There are thousands of views and mostly positive messages. We need to send a letter to Dreamhack. There is power in numbers. Does anyone have Dreamhack's emails or contact information? We can translate our energy into action and impact.
Share the polygon article and let your friends be aware of this problem. I've been talking to trolls in the thread one on one in private message and we had good conversations. I didn't approach them in a accusative fashion and we ended up getting along. I think they saw my humanity and changed their tone. That's what this is about, it's about seeing each other's humanity.
When i begin this fight I have 0 illusion that we can stop all racism. But through all history there have been the complacent and the fighters. I rather be a fighter and make the world better little by little. When MLK fought against desegregation, with rosa parks, and the Freedom Riders, the obstacles they fought seemed insurmountable and unstoppable. But they chose to be fighters not the complacent. If they can do all they did, then we can get the simple task of having dreamhack be sub mode only with an increase in moderators.
A glorious bundle of salt.
The maximum of hatred for a minimum of reason.
When I looked up "Ninjas" in Thesaurus.com, it said "Ninja's can't be found" Well played Ninjas, well played.
