Ars article, Porn site sponsorship causes split over fighting game community's self image, in summary it seems that Brazzers is looking to sponsor, or is sponsoring, Joe Ciaramelli, aka "LI Joe", a Mortal Combat, and other fighting games, pro player.
I don't think this is a good direction for Esports.
I wouldn't want to be affiliated with Brazzers, or similar companies, not because of the sex, but because in my opinion, the porn industry exploits people with severe problems.
So for me, the question is more about the values & attitudes of the companies involved. I really don't care to be associated with people I can't respect and trust.
Something like Dr. Drew and Loveline, would be totally different in my opinion.
Though there is a lot of explicit talk about sex and drugs on Loveline, Dr. Drew works on educating people, to help them make good, informed, decisions.
Dr Drew works on building people up, not taking exploiting their weakness.
