TL;DR: Nintendo decided to do a cool thing for their game's competitive community and give the tournament winners a custom cosmetic. The winning team is these guys called "jackpot". Some time later, a large quantity of discord messages are leaked that consist of the whole team saying a whole bunch of racist shit about black people. Now, Nintendo is removing the custom banner and disqualifying Jackpot. It's currently unknown whether the runner-up team, Phantom Thief, will be given the trophies or a banner.
Discord has become a nexus of bigotry of sorts. Everytime someone gets canceled nowadays it's because of the abhorrent shit they said in Discord somewhere.
it's because people think their discord server is "private" and that no one would leak their messages, so they tend to be leas careful and let their guard down.
Yeah I agree with this. I think these people lose sight of how many people have visibility of the channels that they spout their bigotry in. From what I remember of Discord, there is a sidebar on the right which lists the people that are online. But you never get notified when a new person can see your messages even in the case of restricted channels.
It's a tough problem to solve technically but it seems like neither the people being outed not Discord cares.
