Dear Valued Community,
I, Joe Marsh, would like to take a moment to address an incident that occurred during one of my recent livestreams. During the broadcast, I made a comment about a T1 player using the term "thirst trap." This term is often used in a derogatory manner and I now realize it was not appropriate or respectful towards the player in question.
Firstly, I want to extend my sincerest apologies to the affected player and to those of you who may have been offended by my words. It was never my intention to disrespect or belittle anyone within our community. I understand that language can be powerful and I take full responsibility for my actions.
What is a Thirst Trap?
For those who may not be aware, the term "thirst trap" originated from social media platforms where individuals would post provocative or alluring images to attract attention and admiration. The use of this term towards someone in the gaming community is out of place and disrespectful. It is important to remember that players should be judged based on their skills, sportsmanship, and contributions to the game rather than their appearance.
Moving Forward
I am committed to learning from my mistakes and growing as a content creator and member of this community. I will strive to use respectful language towards all players, regardless of skill level or background. I also encourage everyone to hold each other accountable for our words and actions. Together, we can create a welcoming and inclusive environment for all.
In conclusion, I want to reiterate my sincere apologies for my mistake. I am committed to making things right and will work towards being a more thoughtful and respectful member of this community. Let us continue to celebrate the passion and dedication of our players while fostering an environment that is inclusive and respectful for all.
