They banned kermits(Boostio) pig plushie. RIP Miss Piggy
at this point just ban players from bringing anything like that onto the stage (plushies and such)
i agree but calling other players pigs is quite insulting in asian culture and they might misinterpret it
some friendly trash talk makes things fun
i mean trash talk is fine but calling someone pig can also come as making fun of their appearance (mostly in asia obviously)
... we're talking about the guy that gets called kermit...
riot just playing safe since some people think boostio was making fun of muslims calling em pigs (he obviously wasnt)
damn i actually never think of that possibility, good safe rito
Nobody thought that he was calling Muslims that. Riot playing it safe since pork is considered haram and all so it might be taken more offensive than how it was meant to be.
"nobody". look at boostio's replies, even someone in sliggy chat was confused about it. that's enough for riot to not risk it
Scrolled to eternity under his replies and found like one bad comment and that too just calling him noob so idk what u r talking about
