Summary: he doesn’t want to admit he’s wrong for banning their team.

[@Bones_]

Yeah the the whole seems bewildering at first but as you slowly realize that it was actually written by the owner, who is the same person that gave the initial "verbal" ban and doubled down live on stream, everything starts making a whole lot more sense. He also clearly did not consult anyone else the Fate Legion "team" because you can see his train of thought progress as he writes his dissertation, without any sign of an editor's touch to create a cohesive statement. He initially tries to distance himself as if this is the statement of Fate Legion as a whole, referring to the person who gave the ban as the "shoutcaster/owner" but then later when discussing their authority in the scene refers to himself as "I the owner" so in the hours since he started typing this up he forgot his original plan to act like he wasn't the one writing this in the first place. Also I find it hilarious that he says they could have resolved this by submitting an appeal, when he himself, the owner, said live on stream to them that it was non-negotiable even if it was a teammate, and when they're tried to discuss why he cut them off and said he wasn't going to allow them to try to keyboard warrior their way out of the ban. So they should have submitted an appeal, despite being told by the owner that it was non-negotiable, and the possibility to appeal was never even mentioned, yet that appeal would've resolved this as long as it had proof, but they were already told that proven or not they'd be banned anyways because it doesn't matter if it was a teammate. It's one thing if it's in the heat of the moment and you get flustered and double down. You know, not excusable, but if you apologize in good faith and come to your senses it's understandable. This though, this is him after having over a day to let the reality of what happened sink in, and this convoluted circular self justifying logical nonsense is what he decided on when given time to collect himself. Honestly he could have acknowledged any kind of excessively negative harassment this led to from the community, but also apologized for his own poorly thought out reaction to the initial incident and compromised, likely saving Fate Legion. Instead he chose uncompromising hubris. Bold choice.

Tournaments are different because it's a more professional environment and they don't want toxicity. Plenty of tournaments ban trash talk, t-bagging, and shooting dead bodies. However, t-bagging your friend as a joke is completely different and shouldn't be a bannable offense.

[@NoLyfeNoLuv]

Not really. If i knew tea-bagging was against the rules i wouldnt whine about, i just say ok cool and just follow the rules lol If the host doesnt want that stuff, thats fine, its his event.

I like how they do this whole “it was for our viewers” claim when the viewers are upset about the stupid ban too. Those who aren’t have never had fun with friends in a game. Teabagging your own friend and everyone involved having a giggle about it isn’t unsportsmanlike in any way. There is no victim, and if anything seeing the bond between teammates only makes watching it fun. But in degrading that fun aspect, they’ve degraded their own tournament.

[@sirharlsbarkley]

If I'm remembering correctly that game actually had an achievement for teabagging. If you teabagged anyone that had the achievement after you killed them you would then receive the achievement as a result. I think it started out as something only the devs had and then eventually enough regular players got the achievement that it was able to spread like wildfire.
