What's with the DgWn meme?


If it doesn't fit anywhere else, it belongs here. Also, come here if you just need to get hammered.

Gaius, was DgWn a racist joke? I thought it was just a strange meme about regional preferences.

It started as a racist joke, and became a racist joke that is also a strange meme.

I don't think there was anything racist about the DgWn joke. There was a certain group of Japanese players who played on cszo before lld existed, and they played the combo some and thought it strong. Ayutzia, a newer (at the time) american player observed and chatted with them. Perhaps something was lost in the language barrier or they were simply messing with him a bit, but he genuinely believed at the time they thought it to be a (demi-) god combo.

Y'know y'all, whatever the actual story of the dgwn meme or the intentions of the people involved, if a korean player suggests it felt kinda racist to him and other korean players, maybe you should just respect that. Especially if the point of this thread is to build some friendly exchange between our online communities.

And thanks, gaius, for doing this!

There is no tendency on playing DgWn in japan.
DgWn is a joking and challenging combo.
That player you have ever seen just played joking char and said joke "Oh, DgWn is a pretty smart combo, because I can win with that combo".

Actually I liked that joke, but I asked you not to make one because 1. I was kinda worried that this post would become a racist joke bandwagon. 2. Some of us might feel butthurt about it.

So can we please go back to original topic?
