TLDR:
After his comments were spread, Thorin was told to not publicly say anything about the matter and to let it die down naturally. He wasn't allowed to address this topic which led to people taking his "opinions" out of context.
Any apology he does make is going to seem like a fake apology. He doesn't care about them and is only speaking now so that some people who want to listen would have context about the issues.
Thorin doesn't like eSports events or travelling. He only went to meet people and produce content.
He calls his trips to Germany the worst weeks of his life. He doesn't enjoy French food or culture. And doesn't particularly like the US either.
When he was asked to appear on Unfiltered he had a heavy workload and only did it to help out someone else in the eSports scene.
He spent around 40 hours researching teams and watching VODS of CS:GO. He had to combine this with his own show, and analyzing stuff for ROCCAT.
Drinks energy drinks before talk shows and energy drinks make him irritable.
Holy shit this is a lot longer than I realized...
TLDR of TLDR Part 1: Doesn't enjoy travelling, comments taken out of context, extremely busy workload prior to the talkshow.
Part 2
Received the wrong time of when talkshow starts, so he didn't get pre-talk time with the other hosts.
Prior experience with Poland is that its a formerly run-down country trying to become developed again. His idea of Poland also influenced by his Polish friends.
His comments towards the Polish having nothing in their country was a joke because he believes everyone's perception is still in 70s communist Poland.
Also said his comments because he didn't want to get people's hopes up.
His comments about it being cheap are because Poland rarely holds international events and its economical situation means that it's going to be free or cheap.
Existential hole statement is a joke and is serious (?). Starts trying to sound philosophical or something... I think he says until Poland accepts that they're not that hyped, they're going to be consistently disappointed.
Olympics in Africa was a metaphor and he has no knowledge of any Olympics even being in Africa. He said this because governments waste a shit ton of money trying to make their country seem better than it really is.
Worst country in Europe. He exaggerated this and based his entire comment off of what he heard from others.
Ukraine is worse. Terrible experiences there when he visited. Player abuse by police.
Polish are racist. Once again this generalization is from people he knows or from what they say.
Destiny's style of argument helped contribute to the reason why he made such exaggerated and hyperbolic points.
Even if you scape goat him for these comments, many Polish people acknowledge these problems in their country. Him being blamed won't solve them.
He's said things like this before about other countries and no one said anything.
Polish people he knows don't seem affected by it and this situation doesn't change his opinion about Poland.
He'll probably never go to Poland again.
Discuss Regi and his relationship later.
Oh lordy.
TLDR of TLDR Part 2: Won't change his opinions. Knowledge of Poland comes from Polish friends and the world's perception of Poland. He was joking and his statements are exaggerations. People made too big a deal about this.
