499 Mademoisail Members 127 posts Report post #1 Posted August 18, 2021 Commanders, Over the weekend, it came to our attention that there were unacceptable comments made by NA CC Yuro in a private discord channel. These messages are a blatant violation of the rules and Wargaming's expectations of CCs. The Community Contributor program seeks individuals who are passionate about World of Warships and we do not tolerate racism and discrimination in any form. The comments that were made are a direct violation of the rules and Wargaming's expectations from CCs. Therefore we have made the decision to end our partnership with Yuro. The community team sincerely apologizes for this kind of behavior happening during our watch, but we want to make it very clear that we expect everyone in the World of Warships community to be respectful and civil in-game and on our channels. Thank you for understanding! Fair winds and following seas! Sail 42 12 1 1 11 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I could not believe that people were still defending him when he posted that Youtube video which was hate speech, let alone when he made those comments in discord. 4 1 3 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He used the word which must not be pronounced or written I wouldn't wanna imagine how many of our esteemed BIPoC this has struck deep in the soul...
