Proves that gaming is really not ready for the mainstream. Seriously, we should just retreat to our basements and prepare our cheeto-box forts.
We aren't ready for the real world, finding that 'gamers' find this funny is the single most depressing thing I've read this week -_-.

The fact that this guy's youtube channel is
a) defending his actions
b) saying they'd like to be like him
c) attacking the editor who published the article (read the guy's feed here to see some of the retweets) https://twitter.com/stillgray
d) all of the above,
speaks volumes. Remember, it's youtube, the comments are a given, but the fact that behind each keyboard is a person who actually believes what they're typing should be enough to scare the hell out of you.
The good news? KSI is now banned from Eurogamer, who are banning booth babes.
But seriously, we wonder why FOX can run stories on a regular basis about gamers and their evil natures, etc? We wonder why anyone can take the argument levelled against a senate hopeful that "SHE PLAYED WOW, SHE'S EVVIIIILL", seriously?
This is why. Stuff like this that the game industry knows exists, but that mainstream media (thankfully) doesn't.
