I mean, it's fair to expect teachers to not have an OnlyFans or anything because like he said, you need the kids' respect and there needs to be a healthy boundary between you and them. Having an OnlyFans while you're a teacher is irresponsible. However, just being a streamer of SFW stuff that is clearly marked 18+ is way too strict.
@@Snerual1992 Honestly, if you're a teacher and your students finds your OnlyFans, that says more about the kids than it does yourself. As long as you're not using school property to create that content what does it fuckin' matter?
Massive shame on that school district for getting rid of this guy. Honestly seems like the kind of guy i would’ve loved to have as a teacher in my high school days.
Come on why not fire him? He’s not getting a 75k raise, he’s not fucking his students. He’s not making political pandering statements in school. Obviously they need to get rid of the guy doing his job.
@@coolhawk2003ding ding ding, we got a Karen here. Theres nothing wrong for kids to be inspired to be a gamer, doesn't mean the kid will become one. The worst is having the kids to have nothing and no one to be aspiring to. Because this is what you will get and some would argue that is already a reality that teachers now days can't care and don't care and kids learning from them are learning nothing.
@@cosmo6064 Its funny cuz I'm paying for school online, and i learn most of my curriculum from UA-cam or other sources online rather than the fucking school I'm paying for...
This dude has a good case for a civil suit, slander/defamation and maliciousness by getting him fired…..will take time but fact finders will prove who made the call/email or however it was done. Thanks for bringing this to people’s awareness, hopefully he gets a lot of subs through this (13.5k so far) and piss them off even more 😂 instead of destroying them as intended boosting them to a higher level would be great karma.
I want to vouch for Blue Squadron, I'm his graphic artist that made his emotes, panels, pfp, etc, so i have worked with him dozen times and we communicate regularly. He's super kind, friendly, wonderful, a joy to work with. He appreciates the drawing process, he's affectionate and very caring towards others. Shame on that school district, it's their loss for losing a precious person like Blue Squadron 😐
This is kind of proof that chronically online individuals like this woman shouldnt have power, a kid, etc. If they cant keep internet drama out of their real life. I feel bad for the kid honestly. Her mom seems horrid. (Edit: All of the responses are gross. Calm down.)
i would be ashamed to have a mom like this, especially in bdo the mom ruined her & her daughters account or overall game, since ppl like to hunt down others in this game, and they are rly pissed off for far less than compared to that incident (+ since pvp content is kinda meh), not even a namechange will help since u can track it pretty easily, only chance is: no guild - unfriend everyone, never get into a discord call with this game, fam name change + character name change for every character u have (10 bucks each) or delete like the 20-31 chars u have and keep only 2 & start from scratch, also never link any item since if they have made some items & they link multiple items with their names on it, its highly sus - so they gonna have to do it again.
Most kids unless they are very creepy, does not give a shit if anything think you are even cooler for being a "real person" and also play video games like them. I worked in the after school program before and I played yugioh with the kids. the kids that played any sort of card games would flock to my room because they know I actually understand how to the damn game unlike if they tried to explain to others and they just nod their heads and pretend they know wtf they are talking about.
That’s the thing about terminally online people; that is their real life. Their personal and professional lives require the internet, and without it all of their social interactions cease. They become dangerously maladjusted individuals.
You just need to pray for her to one day find a man who SEEMS nice and amazing for her, then starts beating her behind closed doors and turns her life into a nightmare, thats what she did to this guy basically she DESERVES to know how it feels
@@CDN296 he probably isn't that broke. but i would think he is just a genuine nice guy and don't want to destroy the person's life or lives (if you include the person's daughter)
This is so damn sad. Hearing him choke up talking about his job and his dad breaks my heart. I hope the best for BlueSquadron. He deserved better than this.
@@colonelbbqthe problem with him taking legal action is he might damage his father's reputation more. If I was him I'd just take the L, it'd break my hurt to hurt my parents careers in any way.
@@roko98332r she just made an enemy to the whole internet lol... One thing we learn about people on the internet is they are way better than those expensive detective we need to hire. XD
Imagine firing the most intouch, relatable, articulate teacher you have at your school for being intouch, relatable and articulate. The students lost out in this one
This lady is someone who deserves to be sued for everything they have and live on the streets. The amount of slander that is allowed to ruin lives is worse than ever.
But alas, we live in reality, so she will continue living her life with zero consequences and destroy 3 more people's lives with similar lies before the month ends.
Not sure he was actually have a case unfortunately. Not legal advice, but she didn't actually do much damage when she accused him of being a pedo as he easily disproved it. and defamation has to prove that it actually harmed them. And what we are assuming she told to the school/parents/students isn't actually untrue. He did have a stream with not child appropriate content. Its just messed up that this would get him fired. I could be wrong of course, but that's my understanding. Now maybe if he could prove a link between the pedo accusations and then someone else running with it to expose his streaming.....maaaaybe? Not sure
When I used to online game we had a teacher in our guild. Every time a new member joined he had to ask how old they were to make sure they weren't a minor. His conversations were always super censored. He was a good gamer. I felt bad for the guy because it seemed like he wasn't able to just relax and have fun playing like the rest of us.
@@coffee838i guess you dont know that video game design is a career that you can start in middle school and also an area you can teach in..... so by that logic video game designers shouldnt teach their profession
@@cavemantero Teaching is genuinely one of the worst jobs there is. All the stress. No pay. No respect. No freedom.... And the kids just get worse and worse every generation.. at the point they are unteachable. Waste of time.
i love how he takes a crappy situation and sees the upside of it , that one door closes , but it opens up a whole new and better opportunity for him. at the same time , you can tell he actually cared about his students , and thats why he was a teacher. not for the money , but to make a positive influence on these kids.
It's crazy that some people have such little humanity left that they'll reach out and run someone's life over a video game. Hope this guy bounces back in a huge way.
Not only that but her actions arguably hurt far more kids than his off color jokes. She deprived kids of a teacher who genuinely cared and probably had a unique ability to connect with them and get them into the material. I’d be quitting that guild if I was a member.
You got that level of disconnect. It's much easier to pull messed up stuff on someone when you don't ever have to actually see them or deal with them on a personal level. Messed up.
I blame the social media age. Back in the day this was the rule and you followed it, but for some reason nowadays everyone thinks it's perfectly fine just uploading your entire life to the internet with 0 filter. You never asked people about their IRL stuff it was like the unspoken rule. But ya know, now everyone needs to make sure they got that attention.
It kind of sucks no matter what you do, because you do hide your idenity, internet aleuths will try everything and everyway to find you. Even go up to your house and what not.
Correct. Teaching is all year round, all day, every day. You cannot do anything else and you’re not paid enough to only work 1 job. You also cannot stand up for yourself. Parents can abuse you all the time for no reason. The hours are awful. The kids don’t care about you. Your union does nothing for you.
@@csguy3223the fuck y’all talking about, teachers hours are great, in good states you can get like 80-90k a year and you get paid every week for full vacations… I know teachers traveling the Maldives/south of France/ Greece/ literally anywhere they want to go every summer and they are getting paid while traveling … Y’all have no idea what your talking about… Sure entry level teachers fresh out of school in some shit city might get the short end of the stick, but a teacher working ina small town in the suburbs with barley any students is literally living the life 🤷🏻♂️😂🤣
The worst part of this whole situation is forcing what seems to be another good teacher away from the profession. We aren't exactly flush with good teachers right now. I think schools and parents alike need to reconsider what a good teacher means and does in schools, respect and value the people that watch and raise our kids, and pay them more. Hope this guy the best, but it sounds like the real losers here on the students that lost a good teacher and mentor. Now I don't know much about this guy, but just from how he's handled this its clear he cared and that more than I can say for some teachers.
I’d say anyone who wants to be a teacher deserves to be applauded. Though I understand why people DONT want to be. I mean look at what happened to this guy. I’ve heard horror stories about the shit parents do to educators.
I understood cancel culture when it was dudes screaming at people to learn English or full on actual Nazis, but it has gotten insane. Since when is just being attracted to women “objectifying women”? It’s like they want teachers to be eunuchs.
@@friedporchettaIve also heard horror stories of what teachers push onto children of today. Most of which is on Tik tok and UA-cam shorts to see for all. I’m sorry but teachers are shit and it’s a long game being played by those in actual power. Megalomaniac banking families and their lackies in the CIA/FBI. But yeah, parents are the bad guys… Your mind isn’t your own.
America won’t get better at this rate only worse. As long as we make money the number one thing, money will corrupt every aspect of our lives for the benefit of the people smart enough and lucky enough to game the system at the expense of the masses.
It's really great that this was put out there, Asmon has such a huge platform that he can help anyone in need, and this guy really didn't deserve what came for him. Thanks for this Video, imagine how much impact this did for Blue! Awesome stuff.
Just look at USA students and the parents, all this 1000 genders things going on. No way they will not get riled up because they found their teacher teach and stream on twitch also.
@@Syenthros Yep, unless you have union backing, it's kinda bullshit. I got fired from a job after 6 years and was never given a reason. My manager kept dancing around words trying to come up with something. If I had to guess, it _might_ be because of some things I've posted on FB?
@@Syenthrosi know right! gets fired with these petty issue, meanwhile the teaching about multiple gender non binary and all confusing children thinggy gets cheered.
@@ayeyuh6920 Basically the opposite of the UK. You have to be so so bad to get fired. Works both ways thought because you just end up with people chatting all day, meetings taking 3 hours cos of dumb chats.
I watched this guy for a while when I was playing BDO and I must say that he is an absolute gem. So good at breaking down and explaining things in an entertaining and logical way (wow that almost seems like key qualities for a teacher). Shame on any school that doesn't keep someone with his skills around.
Asmon this is truly one of the biggest reasons why the community respects you so much ,you give a voice to people that really need it and you stand up for them and I think you're an incredible human and your making a measurable difference in the world.. well done sir keep it up I'll be watching your content for years to come I'm sure.... 😊 . I certainly do hope that you take care of your health more though because it's an insurance policy what we do when we're younger we always pay for it later 😜😜😜.
Actually, if we get a second job - that brings up the hours worked in a calendar year closer to workers in other industries... thus the math says we get paid quite well. Lots of vacation hours doesn't mean its compulsory to do nothing for the entire time.
@@johnnykeys1978 I struggle to believe you're a real teacher, because all that time when kids aren't aren't around are absolutely not "vacation days." there's an entire curriculum to plan for a bunch of separate classes in that time.
@@normalmighty I start work teaching in in 1hr 45mins from now. They are very much vacation days. I do my preparation during each teaching day - it doesn't take more than 2 hours - therefore a day is still shorter than a normal day for other industry workers doing an 8 hour day. You may not believe I'm a teacher (don't care) but I certainly don't believe you spend summer break 'preparing classes'
@@johnnykeys1978 Teachers are only paid for the time they work, not for the breaks. Some districts have the option to spread the pay out over the summer to help with financial planning. Does that mean they have more earning potential? kind of. They cant really use their training or education for those two months of the year they are not getting paid, so they often opt for even lower paying part time work. You clearly are not a school teacher.
As a human being who was once a highschool student, I can confirm that there is always a group of people, heathers and rebeccas, that get joy and excitement from getting their teacher fired, not because they were harmed but because they enjoy the suffering of others, and it gives them bragging points among themselves.
@@NachozMan yeah two people left when I was there one had a rumor spread from what I remember from a girl that slept around and other was falsely accused. With them admitting too it since it was testing season and he was known to joke but not say that
As an educator myself, I can second how truly anxiety inducing this sort of scenario is. It has happened to several other teachers I work with including myself multiple times and it feels like trying to navigate these situations are just part of the job. It's uncomfortably normal in today's climate for educators and the number 1 reason I have been loosing my passion for education. I love my job and what I do, but everything surrounding the topics of accountability, pay rates, work load, and just feeling safe in my career while having a normal life off campus is agonizing in the realm of mental health and anxiety that makes me constantly question it all being worth while
In a way its similar to the dark side of fame that celebrities talk about. Having to watch your tongue and actions so carefully on the offchance that one of your students happens to see you out and about
It wouldn't even be so bad if we didn't live in an age of "guilty until proven innocent" thanks to all the terminally online neanderthals smacking their chests in rage over something they don't care to understand. I used to avoid meeting people because I was a socially awkward nerd, now I avoid meeting people because they might decide to ruin my life for no reason at all. I've seen alot of stories recently, it terrifies me. People just wanna be left alone.
I feel so bad for him. It’s not right to hurt someone’s career for decisions they made in a completely unrelated, private online situation. Props to Blue for still being completely professional even after the heartache he’s experienced. He still has so much love for the school and the students even though the school got rid of him. I can tell he’s a teacher by the compassion he shows towards them regardless of the treatment he received. I really, really hope he enjoys going full time with content creation, and I also hope he gets more opportunities in the future to express his love of teaching.
Pubic Schools have the worst damage control and expectations on staff of any profession. They are hypocrites that molest kids and than say that a good person is trash and get away with it becuse of corruption.
@@justincider8892 I don’t agree with him saying that either. I don’t think the entire gaming community is sexist. But just because I have a different opinion than him doesn’t mean I want him to suffer losing his career, getting doxxed, and being humiliated among tons of kids and their parents. What he did in his professional life and what he said in his personal life were not related whatsoever. To wish total humiliation onto someone just because I disagreed with one thing they said would be completely awful and unhinged.
As a teacher, I would like to thank Asmond for being so compassionate and understanding! Thankfully I work in a mobile-free school, where the students have to hand in their phones at the start of the day and if we find a student with a phone on school grounds, we call home and confiscate the phone for a full week. Such rules may not be viable to implement in the US though...
@@imoonset2682Absolutely not. You are agreeing to have your phone taken away when you go to school. You are at any time free to leave, but as long as you are at school they can take it within reason. Saying it’s theft is the most 11 year old thing i’ve ever heard.
@@katto1937 No, it's theft when you take someone's personal property and refuse to return it. Even more so illegal and a violation of the 4th amendment if school administration/your teacher attempt to access your phone or any information on the device, for no reason is that allowed unless police are involved. If the device is not causing issues nor being used in class searching students and committing an unlawful seizure of a device is also under the 4th amendment this has been proven in multipke court cases. And no, you can't "just leave" school, that's not allowed either, police will pick you up if you skip school or leave school
I'm a former teacher (quit/retired after 7 years), and I find it funny that the way I talk on the mic in discord is called a "streamer voice" by people I play CS2 with, when in reality, it's just my voice that is permanently a "teacher voice" (as I called it). Higher volume, clear, and addressing everybody in the 'room'. Maybe I'll give it a shot, lmfao
@@BladedBearbahaha don't worry my mother has an almost permanent "teacher voice". She definitely doesn't realise how she sounds sometimes but it's a good laugh haha.
very weird teachers being paid 30-60k a year have to have such a high standard, it's insane. I heard of a teacher at my hs that used to strip at a town/city over on weekends just to make some extra money (because teachers are paid like shit) and she had been doing it for years with no issue but some creepy father reported her and she was fired, now, how would any highschooler find out she was doing that? They're underage to even go to such places and she did it out of area. If a teacher is professional and doesn't bring their outside life into the classroom I don't see why things like this are an issue, especially when most of them are not even making enough to be able to sustain having 1 source of income.
Its wierd how they freak out over stuff like that, but then allow bullies to harrass and intimidate other kids or even some teachers do that and they'll stand behind them.
I worked in many schools maintaining classroom networks and computers several years ago, I'd never want to be a teacher and unable to respond to what people's children say and claim that will be believed without question.
@@gerhet7193 Agreed, very different. But both are completely crazy things to get fired over at a teaching job. Especially if they are both completely legal activities.
Thing that annoys me is the people that do this crap to others always have their identities protected while the victims don't. If you do nasty crap to people you should be called out on it.
I just wanna mention how great of a format this is, reacting to something and having a conversation with the creator. It's an amazing insight, I loved it when you did it with Act Man and now with Blue Squadron, keep it up Asmon this slaps !
Y’all don’t have to worry, she is terminally ill & her ex dumped her cause he found out she was terminally ill. For her lack of control irl, she decides to backstab & treat Blue like garbage. Karma is a bish
@@kalmage136 You sure about that? According to Blue, shes a cronic liear. So wouldnt pull a person who does something like this, to also lie about her health to get sympathy!
@@z0lid the thing is, Blue disclosed that to us, and the bdo community isn’t sympathizing her even if she is terminally ill. Cause she tried to paint Blue as a predator, pedo, abusive person, a liar, all these allegations & accusations, along possibly schemeing the report-call to his school, cause no one else knows Blue like that to do so. The community basically agrees she deserves what she deserves. Dassit
As a 3rd year teacher, this man's qualms about the profession are completely true. Not only are you putting more than a 40 hour work week in but you also leave work being emotionally drained. You are always the figure head for the community and you are always under a spot light. This tied together with students who have no accountability from being at home for 2 years of COVID makes any interaction beyond teaching a class very stressful.
The worst part of teaching is being broke and tired. Then when you get to the grocery store you're asked to donate to a hospital. Go look at what you're average inner city teacher drives. Then go to any hospital in America. If you don't see at least 5 Lexus or bmws you're lucky. The profession is on fire and nobody stands in solidarity with teachers. The squeakier wheels get the grease.
Hey Asmon, really appreciate you talking about this and bringing Blue on. Such a sad situation and he talked about so many of the issues teachers deal with in 2023. Reminds me of “1915 rules for teachers” - the fact that we’re still expected to live our lives solely for the purpose of our career is wild.
I've known blue squadron both irl and from gaming for the past 7-8 years. He is one of the hardest working, funny, and entertaining people i've ever met. He has such a huge heart for those around him. Although I'm sure the ex-guild members intended on bringing him down, I'm positive this has lifted him to exceed any and all expectations people had on him with his content creation career. Keep up the grind, we're here to support you along the way!
Blue's one of the most unique streamers and creators in the BDO community, we're lucky to have him. Time zone conflicts don't allow me to watch his streams regularly, but firing up his YT videos never fails to get me laughing, and usually learning something new, after a boring or crappy day. Sucks this happened to him, he comes across as a good bloke.
I love that you respect the strategic privacy required for games like that. Very similar mindset in Foxhole. Allied players watch allied streamers, Axis players watch Axis streamers, all while having universal support as a community. Truly unique and an interesting dynamic to be a part of. 🤙
nothng against blue but BDo would get ore respect as a game from more people if they didn't gender lock the classes....by doing that at least for me you lose any respect i might have had... i wanted to play a ninja and got stuck as a chick....ninjas can be both genders FFS! f that game, i had the same issues with Tera....and that game was worse for having a Loli character eh
@@judgedrekk2981just to be clear a lot of the first gen classes tend to have male/female counter part. Striker/Mystic, Witch/Wiz, Archer/Ranger, Ninja/Kuno. The main differences between these classes is if you played then in awakening where they get an extra kit. But a lot of classes are viable in succession or their base kit. my advice is if you can get passed the gener locked side of the game, it does have a lot of great combat to offer
First of all I am a fourth generation Canadian. I started in a public school in 1999, and I went to private school in 2007. Graduated in 2011. I never knew what my teacher’s political preferences were. They often steelmanned both sides and let us students argue amongst each other to figure out what was reasonable. If you know where your teacher stands, they aren’t encouraging you to figure out what is right and wrong, they are indoctrinating you.
Ima give this guys a follow cause this is horrid and I think he deserves to get more financial support so he can commit to a full time position in streaming it’s so fucking sad hearing the story I feel terrible
Blue_Squadron is a pillar of the BDO community and is a very entertaining content creator. With his personality I'm sure he was a great teacher as well.
i mean doxxing yourself by even saying youre a teacher or even telling anyone what you do irl specially if its like "i teach school in missouri"..bro with enough time someone reading all your shit will figure out who u are
I would respect my teacher so much more if they were a full time teacher who still had time to game and have his own channel. This guy has his fucking shit together, a lot of inspiration and experience to impart on his students. The worlds a fucking joke.
This is the perfect video to show my daughter. She wants so bad to be a teacher and Ive been telling her no the fuck you don’t. You don’t make any money, Always working extra hours, Always being disrespected, Always dealing with complaints…
Son of a teacher here. Some people feel 'called' to do it. I respect her passion. But no-one should get into teaching unless they truly understand the things you are talking about.
kids now a days are such little brain dead dirt bags, not all but far to many are. do your best to help her find a better calling. there are so many fields that will give her a better life. try to help her find ones that are also not over saturated as well because that can lead to issues if the chosen field is
There's private sector teaching opportunities out there, such as for professional certifications for adults, higher education, corporate seminars, etc.
This seems like a place where the school/his employment should have been more supportive. It's extremely hard to find good teachers and the way America treats them pushes them out in droves.
@@Chaoslordx13 i would still say that it depends sometimes, some Karen's tend to lie and the administrations will believe her since they provide "some" proof makes her believable, who knows what she or someone (got) leaked, even out of context - just waiting for the next years ppl gonna make ppl get fired cuz some 1 made an AI voice saying stuff. The whole System is just stupid, no protection, unlike other countries where u cant get fired that easily, unless there is actual proof and forbidden activity that conflicts with the job.
School administrations (as well as the school board, though they're elected so I think of them as separate) are where most of the fault lies when it comes to pretty much any problem with a school district. Funding for schools in the US is insane, and iirc it's usually takes up the largest portion of any state's budget (at least one of the largest). In essence, the problem isn't funding, the problem is the money is mismanaged to hell. And who manages that money? The admins. Unfortunately, politicians and admins both like to perpetuate that funding is the issue, because it benefits both the politician and admins when school budgets get increased: one gains political capital (and kickbacks on occasion, sometimes from the unions themselves), and the admins get more money to allocate in the same poor way (again, can go into their own wallets). Not every school administration is like this, but it's extremely common when you get to larger cities. Unfortunately, the loser is almost always the rank-and-file teachers and students, because it was never really about their interest and well-beng in the first place. Heck, this even happens at the university level, but that's another topic altogether.
Another issue with the masters degree is it can be challenging to get a job after getting a masters because the school's would rather hire a teacher with only a certificate because it is cheaper. A lot of teachers get a certificate and do their masters on the side so they can get the masters while they already have the job.
I have known Blue for the last year and he's one of the hardest working human beings that I've ever met. If he is now able to put his full energy and time into content creation, he's definitely going to be successful! We support you blue!
What a terrible situation, quite pathetic really. Teachers really are one of the most selfless and underappreciated careers out there. They take a lot of abuse for such little pay, and they are literally the foundation for the next generation of everything! So sad. I really want to comment to you Asmon, and say THANK YOU for all the kind things you said about teachers, agreed 1000%! Great video!
@Intheendyourlifeisnothing wait that supposed to be the klan? lol No way they'd take in my rear, I'm more likely to get a cross in flames. If not them, I'm genuinely lost on what you meant.
@Intheendyourlifeisnothing you are out of your damned mind if you think his (VERY TAME)stream is the worst these high schoolers watch on the daily. Grow up.
I found Blue's channel because of this video months ago....I still watch this guy to this day. He is genuinely funny and entertaining even if you don't like BDO.... Blue_Squadron is awesome to watch!!
This makes a lot of sense as to why so many of my teachers growing up were miserable or checked out. I hope this guy succeeds and even surpasses whatever goals he's set for himself.
It isn't just teaching. Pretty much any actual career that isn't just minimum wage retail or fast food will fire someone for something that happened outside of work that they deem unprofessional and that has the potential to negatively impact their reputation But you won't have to worry about that
Man, as a veteran educator, I hella felt this entire guy's experience. He sounded passionate about teaching and it's awful to lose any new talent. On top of that, many of us can relate; gotta keep IRL very far from what we do online because we have to be perfect or uphold this facade that we don't live lives outside the school.
the only thing i would have suggested to the teacher is to not stream his face, plenty of people get away with streaming a front or a mask while they perform and it makes it easier to prevent the collide of worlds like what happened here, and i TOTALLY agree, we need to pay teachers more if thats the standard we require
The fact he needs to do streaming as a side hustle tells you all you need to know about his financial situation in relationship to his previous job as a school teacher... These teachers are expected to be just as righteous as politicians but get paid a fraction and as Asmon said, it definitely doesn't create a incentive for these teacher's to uphold any more moral integrity.
School is a shame and propaganda and a way to make people not work until 30, all these teachers should be fired, I've worked since 15 and guess what? Nothing pays, I'm not going to work to death and do some dumb hustle for money that buys less and less, just enjoy the collapse and destruction that everyone wanted and voted for while cry about some loser who should picked a better job
@@IvorMorris Except they are more righteous than politicians? Please go volunteer at any Elementary School and come back to report what the reality is on the ground in classrooms. Teachers spend almost every minute they have with students trying to make sure their students pass the State Standardized Test so they don't get blasted by the administration.
That’s really unfair, truly this isn’t a onlyfans situation this is just a simple stream; a Gaming stream. I wish I had teacher who were vocal about video games. Asmon popped off with that pay the teacher quote.
100٪ This dude should sue. He should also take his teaching skills and make it a part of his online career. People love gaming content creators that also include some form of academics into their content in a way that compliments and enhances it. One of my favorite channels on UA-cam is Roanoke Gaming because of his passion for biology, games, and films, and his ability to weave them together into a really entertaining and informative way. If Blue plays his cards right, he could have a decent career ahead of him as a content creator.
I'm a high school teacher who regularly plays online games with past and present students. I have no doubt that this guy is one of the great teachers who is able to connect with students on a real level and really speak into their lives. It's a shame that some short-minded individuals threw him under the bus. If you've ever been on a high school campus recently, you'll know how idiotic it is to be upset over swearing and clothing choices online, when the issue is tenfold in the schools themselves.
Honestly it feels like having a twitch stream would just help the teacher to connect with their students even more. Seems a huge shame to fire a teacher over something like this.
Exactly! Like, wtf. A few years back in uni, I had a professor who I played moba games with. And now, me and my daughter have some of her teachers added in our friend list in genshin. Its such a wasted potential to just terminate him for that.
He sounds like a fantastic person and a wonderful teacher who cared and invested in himself and his students. If he needs a change of scenery, Arkansas now pays our teachers starting at $55k/year on top of having an affordable cost of living. We'd be happy to have another person committed to his craft representing what's right and good in America. Just followed and subscribed to him, wishing Blue Squadron the absolute best on his journey.
The 35k a year is bull and a manipulation of reality at best it is after taxes at worst it is an outright lie and cope... asmon also just got caught out... it turns out that teachers do get paid during the summer and aren't working at the school.
To summarize: - Teacher works 90 hour weeks (that's more than double) - Makes $35 000 a year. I'm not even from USA, I'm from lower standard EU country and salary here isn't that low - 2 months free during summer during which he has to work to make ends meet - Kids have 90 sec attention span. Parents are angry at teacher if their grades are low. They are not worried WHY their grades are low - Guy gets harassed by psyhotic guild member and gets fired because.. he streams Is this some kind of fucking parallel universe I ended up at? What the hell?
He elaborated that he is at school for 40 hours a week, but it becomes 50 hours a week if you count the lesson plans, the homework correction, etc. then it becomes 90 hours a week if you add everything he does as a content creator.
@@maxymajzr My reply's significance is clearing up the misleading implication of your comment. You said "Teacher works 90 hour weeks (that's more than double)" which implies his teaching job is 90 hours a week, when he said that its only about 50 hours a week.
In highschool i had a philosophy teacher that was a really cool guy honestly and to the people that asked him for philosophy books he recommended good reads. In one of the books he recommended there was an explicit scene i guess and this high schooler reported it to her parents which went to the school and the teacher was fired. Not a month after that we got the news that he died as he was already suffering from a tumor in his brain and i genuinely felt like crying.
I normally don't care enough to press the like button or comment, but this time is an exception where I also went to BlueSquadron's Twitch and YT to follow him & show my support. What a load of horseshit that the dude is subjected to such a demanding workspace that takes up a degree of his time at home, lesson planning, homework, grading, following a curriculum, finding ways to present these things to the students in a way they'll find it interesting, meeting and responding to parents constantly, reporting to other staff members about complaints, probably being treated like dogshit by mentionable number the very same students, garbage un-livable salary....and then the dude can't even go home and cuss or blow off some steam online while trying to make some extra money so that he can maintain a basic level of life. It's also so disgusting that there are people online that get into a disagreement or argument with someone and their first instinct is to try and attack someone's source of income so that they can't even live/pay rent/buy food. The dude is doing a HUGE public service by accepting the dogshit wages and STILL educating hundreds or thousands of our children. I also feel sorry for the daughter of this crazy woman that did this to him, what a terrible example to be setting as a parent.
This is the exact nightmare scenario that sticks out in my mind and makes me hesitate starting content creation. As a teacher, it's a tough call because it's something I really want to do, but all the points Blue Squadron made about this type of thing spreading like wildfire are true. I offhandedly mentioned to another teacher about streaming (just as a concept) and a student overheard. Within a day the whole school was asking me if I was a streaming. It doesn't take much.
My fear is bad actors or mentally ill people finding my location and putting my safety in jeopardy. There are a lot of sick people out there and the only way I could start streaming is if I had a Mask on and kept my anonymity.
If you attack gamer in their personal life, you quit being gamer, you are just menace and we as gaming community offically consider you expelled. Can we agree on that?
I understand where you are coming from, but to sue he would have to show that she lied. Unfortunately she didn't "defame" him. She just shared information that she knew would be destructive. It sucks. But legally, she's would only be liable if she made it all up.
@@xixixi8483 What got him fired was essentially him being a content creator, so no defamation there, and the actual defaming seems to have been shut down pretty quick, so no real consequences from it.
There are a lot of jobs that you can't create content. I remember a guy that had a channel that teaches people how to code, and he got fired from Facebook when it was discovered. The company doesn't want a potential liability or someone who can accidently leak confidential information live.
The worst ones are those who were in the private sector and think they're God's gift to the students, and are trying to transplant that exact job as a way of learning things.
Goes the same for the military. I was told I couldn't have the opinions I had on my own private social media because an old co-worker (military person) contacted my first sergeant along with their friends. I was given a letter of reprimand over it and I was told that any further infractions will be documented and appropriately punished. The opinion, "I don't think people should be forced to take an experimental vaccine."
Smh of COURSE military doesn't want their soldiers to think for themselves and dared to think that some people shouldn't be forced to do something obviously dangerous-💀😤😤
Not sure you could sue for slander. They outed him having a not child appropriate stream....which while it shouldn't logically cost him his job. Was true.
I think the big issue is going to be to prove that the woman was the one doing it. People that got first contacted by her would have to come forwards and deliver the messages she sent them otherwise its his word against hers basically.
@@JohanHultin No, Slander has to be untrue, otherwise it's just reporting facts. Looks it up, both slander and defamation are defined as false statements. If only harmful statements could be sued for slander then we wouldn't be capable of reporting on actual crimes people committed, because it hurts their reputation.
@@spinn4863 I mean it doesn't really matter if shes proven to be the person that said it, if her accusations were simply that this teacher has a steam that's not appropriate for children. Because while he shouldn't have been fired. It's still true that he had such a stream. Slander requires the statement be false.
Teacher here. I’ve been doxed by a competing guild, tried to ruin my life(made up HORRID rumours about me). Seems like as soon as people(I’m being so, so generous with that term) find out you teach, they see an opportunity to hurt you and, if they’re low quality enough, they take it.
I recently went through a similar situation where I was pushed out of something that I helped build for the past 5 years, for seemingly no reason. It is the most terrifying feeling in the world to have everything taken from you and to have no power in the situation. I truly feel for this man.
Man, I’m so sorry BlueSquadron. There shouldn’t ever be an issue with outside life against your work life. I mean i live in the UK so the 2 work practices are different between the countries, but really you shouldn’t have to be fired over this. Technically the parents should have done so much better and told their kids not to be watching but I guess I am just being too logical with common sense. Best of luck with your full time content career.
I'd say now he has the ability to pursue teaching on youtube in addition to his gaming content if that's something he'd think of doing. doesn't have to be held back/restricted by the education system as he can just make some videos designed for helping anyone that wants to watch/learn from them.
Just listening to him talk you could tell he is a genuine dude and a caring and great teacher. Such a shame to see a great teacher be let go over fear of the toxic cancel culture
I lead a guild in BDO for a year and can confirm it is one of the most socially toxic games ever made. A girl spread a rumor about me because I said something she didn't like and people *hunted me down in game and killed me* because of it.
man , i have alot more respect for you Blue. Watching you throughout over the years, i see how opened and loving you are as a man. Just wow. But you got my 100% support
Ehm, yeah in a perfect world sure. However we live in a world where I can find anyones personal data within 30 minutes if I know their real name lol. Students are resourceful, they will find your socials
So glad you mentioned that, how creepy is it that these people contacted minors to enact some petty revenge? I hope these people are held accountable if this is true.
Hearing that guy talk about disappointing his dad was heart wrenching. With the level of scrutiny of teachers why, besides passion or the sunk cost fallacy of one’s degrees, would you ever go into the field?
His stream isn't NSFW and the irony is children that the school is trying to protect are going to run into NSFW books and media the school has greenlit, lmao.
As an fellow Educator we have a hard enough time keeping good teachers let alone having them, we have a hard time finding or getting people wanting to be substitute teachers. So great we lost another good/ passionate teacher. I don't know the guy but seems like he cares about his job which a lot more than a lot of other teachers who have lost their passion for education. Education in the US is a joke I'm glad I changed carears.
Get the kids to get you those DM’s(for legal). I completely understand the clip from the beginning, I’ve been there too man. I’m sorry that these people did this to you. You’re a grown man who can do whatever he wants, but I understand the respect part my sister is a teacher. God bless bro, God put you exactly where you need to be. Maybe you can teach in a way and just because you’re not “a” teacher doesn’t mean that the gift of teaching has been stolen from you. I think you can still be a great teacher of many things, I hope everything goes great for you.
To be honest , just by what this guy says on his own volition, this guy had no business being a high school teacher. If I found out about this behavior I wouldn’t want my young kids around him. If anything this is for the best he can now commit to be a streamer full time.
I love you taking the time to do this. He deserves the backing of your community as well as you. It really will be the best thing to ever happen to him…wide words my friend.
The expectation that a teacher can’t have a private business and must act a specific way 24/7 sucks.
Yea, definitely, one of the worst paying jobs in America with some of the biggest requirements/consequences. Western education is dead
Laughs in Beamtentum
Socialist jobs
I mean, it's fair to expect teachers to not have an OnlyFans or anything because like he said, you need the kids' respect and there needs to be a healthy boundary between you and them. Having an OnlyFans while you're a teacher is irresponsible. However, just being a streamer of SFW stuff that is clearly marked 18+ is way too strict.
@@Snerual1992 Honestly, if you're a teacher and your students finds your OnlyFans, that says more about the kids than it does yourself. As long as you're not using school property to create that content what does it fuckin' matter?
Massive shame on that school district for getting rid of this guy. Honestly seems like the kind of guy i would’ve loved to have as a teacher in my high school days.
Lol sure . Your kid be like fuxk ya I going be a gamer like my teacher. Good luck.
Come on why not fire him? He’s not getting a 75k raise, he’s not fucking his students. He’s not making political pandering statements in school. Obviously they need to get rid of the guy doing his job.
@@coolhawk2003ding ding ding, we got a Karen here. Theres nothing wrong for kids to be inspired to be a gamer, doesn't mean the kid will become one. The worst is having the kids to have nothing and no one to be aspiring to. Because this is what you will get and some would argue that is already a reality that teachers now days can't care and don't care and kids learning from them are learning nothing.

This dude has a good case for a civil suit, slander/defamation and maliciousness by getting him fired…..will take time but fact finders will prove who made the call/email or however it was done. Thanks for bringing this to people’s awareness, hopefully he gets a lot of subs through this (13.5k so far) and piss them off even more 😂 instead of destroying them as intended boosting them to a higher level would be great karma.
No he actually doesn't
Has he shown any proof that they knowingly said anything false about him to the school district?
I want to vouch for Blue Squadron, I'm his graphic artist that made his emotes, panels, pfp, etc, so i have worked with him dozen times and we communicate regularly.
He's super kind, friendly, wonderful, a joy to work with. He appreciates the drawing process, he's affectionate and very caring towards others. Shame on that school district, it's their loss for losing a precious person like Blue Squadron 😐
Your art is sick brother! All the best to you and Blue ❤️
Yeah how dare this person share their positive experience working with someone!
Glad to hear he treats the people he works with well! That's a place where scummy people would take advantage because "they're the client"
Honestly, it breaks my heart to see how it's affected him.
@Intheendyourlifeisnothing found one of the parents that went full karen
This is kind of proof that chronically online individuals like this woman shouldnt have power, a kid, etc. If they cant keep internet drama out of their real life. I feel bad for the kid honestly. Her mom seems horrid.
(Edit: All of the responses are gross. Calm down.)
i would be ashamed to have a mom like this, especially in bdo the mom ruined her & her daughters account or overall game, since ppl like to hunt down others in this game, and they are rly pissed off for far less than compared to that incident (+ since pvp content is kinda meh), not even a namechange will help since u can track it pretty easily, only chance is: no guild - unfriend everyone, never get into a discord call with this game, fam name change + character name change for every character u have (10 bucks each) or delete like the 20-31 chars u have and keep only 2 & start from scratch, also never link any item since if they have made some items & they link multiple items with their names on it, its highly sus - so they gonna have to do it again.
Most kids unless they are very creepy, does not give a shit if anything think you are even cooler for being a "real person" and also play video games like them. I worked in the after school program before and I played yugioh with the kids. the kids that played any sort of card games would flock to my room because they know I actually understand how to the damn game unlike if they tried to explain to others and they just nod their heads and pretend they know wtf they are talking about.
That’s the thing about terminally online people; that is their real life. Their personal and professional lives require the internet, and without it all of their social interactions cease. They become dangerously maladjusted individuals.
You just need to pray for her to one day find a man who SEEMS nice and amazing for her, then starts beating her behind closed doors and turns her life into a nightmare, thats what she did to this guy basically she DESERVES to know how it feels
Maybe 10-15 years ago but internet IS real life. Ignoring that fact doesn't make it less so. Se is trash but let's not get it twisted.

But alas, we live in reality, so she will continue living her life with zero consequences and destroy 3 more people's lives with similar lies before the month ends.
Unfortunately, he lacks solid proof that she was the cause.
If she did do it, he could probably dig up some proof. This idiot wouldn't have covered their tracks very well.
Yeah I'm sure this guy has some sort of lawsuit for sure.
Not sure he was actually have a case unfortunately. Not legal advice, but she didn't actually do much damage when she accused him of being a pedo as he easily disproved it. and defamation has to prove that it actually harmed them. And what we are assuming she told to the school/parents/students isn't actually untrue. He did have a stream with not child appropriate content. Its just messed up that this would get him fired. I could be wrong of course, but that's my understanding. Now maybe if he could prove a link between the pedo accusations and then someone else running with it to expose his streaming.....maaaaybe? Not sure
When I used to online game we had a teacher in our guild. Every time a new member joined he had to ask how old they were to make sure they weren't a minor.

Being a teacher for the money would be like being a geologist because you like water.
Asmon, thank you for platforming this creator and giving him the exposure he deserves. And good on you for speaking out for teachers.
It's crazy that some people have such little humanity left that they'll reach out and run someone's life over a video game. Hope this guy bounces back in a huge way.
They want other people to feel as miserable as they do.
Not only that but her actions arguably hurt far more kids than his off color jokes. She deprived kids of a teacher who genuinely cared and probably had a unique ability to connect with them and get them into the material. I’d be quitting that guild if I was a member.
You got that level of disconnect. It's much easier to pull messed up stuff on someone when you don't ever have to actually see them or deal with them on a personal level. Messed up.

The worst part of this whole situation is forcing what seems to be another good teacher away from the profession. We aren't exactly flush with good teachers right now. I think schools and parents alike need to reconsider what a good teacher means and does in schools, respect and value the people that watch and raise our kids, and pay them more.
Hope this guy the best, but it sounds like the real losers here on the students that lost a good teacher and mentor. Now I don't know much about this guy, but just from how he's handled this its clear he cared and that more than I can say for some teachers.
I’d say anyone who wants to be a teacher deserves to be applauded. Though I understand why people DONT want to be. I mean look at what happened to this guy. I’ve heard horror stories about the shit parents do to educators.

It's insane the standards that teachers are held to while getting paid an unlivable salary in most states.
Actually, if we get a second job - that brings up the hours worked in a calendar year closer to workers in other industries... thus the math says we get paid quite well. Lots of vacation hours doesn't mean its compulsory to do nothing for the entire time.

You may not believe I'm a teacher (don't care) but I certainly don't believe you spend summer break 'preparing classes'
@@johnnykeys1978 Teachers are only paid for the time they work, not for the breaks. Some districts have the option to spread the pay out over the summer to help with financial planning. Does that mean they have more earning potential? kind of. They cant really use their training or education for those two months of the year they are not getting paid, so they often opt for even lower paying part time work. You clearly are not a school teacher.
As a human being who was once a highschool student, I can confirm that there is always a group of people, heathers and rebeccas, that get joy and excitement from getting their teacher fired, not because they were harmed but because they enjoy the suffering of others, and it gives them bragging points among themselves.

As an educator myself, I can second how truly anxiety inducing this sort of scenario is. It has happened to several other teachers I work with including myself multiple times and it feels like trying to navigate these situations are just part of the job. It's uncomfortably normal in today's climate for educators and the number 1 reason I have been loosing my passion for education. I love my job and what I do, but everything surrounding the topics of accountability, pay rates, work load, and just feeling safe in my career while having a normal life off campus is agonizing in the realm of mental health and anxiety that makes me constantly question it all being worth while
In a way its similar to the dark side of fame that celebrities talk about. Having to watch your tongue and actions so carefully on the offchance that one of your students happens to see you out and about

I feel so bad for him. It’s not right to hurt someone’s career for decisions they made in a completely unrelated, private online situation. Props to Blue for still being completely professional even after the heartache he’s experienced. He still has so much love for the school and the students even though the school got rid of him. I can tell he’s a teacher by the compassion he shows towards them regardless of the treatment he received. I really, really hope he enjoys going full time with content creation, and I also hope he gets more opportunities in the future to express his love of teaching.

But just because I have a different opinion than him doesn’t mean I want him to suffer losing his career, getting doxxed, and being humiliated among tons of kids and their parents. What he did in his professional life and what he said in his personal life were not related whatsoever. To wish total humiliation onto someone just because I disagreed with one thing they said would be completely awful and unhinged.
As a teacher, I would like to thank Asmond for being so compassionate and understanding! Thankfully I work in a mobile-free school, where the students have to hand in their phones at the start of the day and if we find a student with a phone on school grounds, we call home and confiscate the phone for a full week. Such rules may not be viable to implement in the US though...
Yeah some kid will get pissed his phone was taken and decide that's enough.. we have weak asf kids in this country fr
@@ivann7214huh, no because that's theft. Taking someone's personal property in any case is theft
@@imoonset2682Absolutely not. You are agreeing to have your phone taken away when you go to school. You are at any time free to leave, but as long as you are at school they can take it within reason.
Saying it’s theft is the most 11 year old thing i’ve ever heard.
@@katto1937 No, it's theft when you take someone's personal property and refuse to return it. Even more so illegal and a violation of the 4th amendment if school administration/your teacher attempt to access your phone or any information on the device, for no reason is that allowed unless police are involved. If the device is not causing issues nor being used in class searching students and committing an unlawful seizure of a device is also under the 4th amendment this has been proven in multipke court cases. And no, you can't "just leave" school, that's not allowed either, police will pick you up if you skip school or leave school
@@imoonset2682 Did you realize that OP is not from the US?
Teachers make great streamers because they know how to explain and teach things. I'm sure he will do much better as a streamer than a teacher.
Tons of online education opportunities for a guy like him.
I'm a former teacher (quit/retired after 7 years), and I find it funny that the way I talk on the mic in discord is called a "streamer voice" by people I play CS2 with, when in reality, it's just my voice that is permanently a "teacher voice" (as I called it). Higher volume, clear, and addressing everybody in the 'room'. Maybe I'll give it a shot, lmfao
Josh Strife Hayes comes to mind.
I was here Pog@@BladedBear
@@BladedBearbahaha don't worry my mother has an almost permanent "teacher voice". She definitely doesn't realise how she sounds sometimes but it's a good laugh haha.
very weird teachers being paid 30-60k a year have to have such a high standard, it's insane. I heard of a teacher at my hs that used to strip at a town/city over on weekends just to make some extra money (because teachers are paid like shit) and she had been doing it for years with no issue but some creepy father reported her and she was fired, now, how would any highschooler find out she was doing that? They're underage to even go to such places and she did it out of area. If a teacher is professional and doesn't bring their outside life into the classroom I don't see why things like this are an issue, especially when most of them are not even making enough to be able to sustain having 1 source of income.
Its wierd how they freak out over stuff like that, but then allow bullies to harrass and intimidate other kids or even some teachers do that and they'll stand behind them.
it was only a problem once it became known it's what they did. once a parent starts kicking up a fuss it becomes a problem for the school.
I worked in many schools maintaining classroom networks and computers several years ago, I'd never want to be a teacher and unable to respond to what people's children say and claim that will be believed without question.
Playing wow and being a stripper or completely different tbh.
@@gerhet7193 Agreed, very different. But both are completely crazy things to get fired over at a teaching job. Especially if they are both completely legal activities.
I commend you for being a stand up guy Asmongold!!! Way to stand up for teachers and this gentleman in particular.
90% of teachers are useless hags who care more about indoctrinating children than they do about teaching.
Thing that annoys me is the people that do this crap to others always have their identities protected while the victims don't. If you do nasty crap to people you should be called out on it.
I just wanna mention how great of a format this is, reacting to something and having a conversation with the creator. It's an amazing insight, I loved it when you did it with Act Man and now with Blue Squadron, keep it up Asmon this slaps !

@@kalmage136 You sure about that? According to Blue, shes a cronic liear. So wouldnt pull a person who does something like this, to also lie about her health to get sympathy!
@@z0lid the thing is, Blue disclosed that to us, and the bdo community isn’t sympathizing her even if she is terminally ill. Cause she tried to paint Blue as a predator, pedo, abusive person, a liar, all these allegations & accusations, along possibly schemeing the report-call to his school, cause no one else knows Blue like that to do so. The community basically agrees she deserves what she deserves. Dassit
Toxic women will destroy a man's entire reputation if they don't like him.
As a 3rd year teacher, this man's qualms about the profession are completely true. Not only are you putting more than a 40 hour work week in but you also leave work being emotionally drained. You are always the figure head for the community and you are always under a spot light. This tied together with students who have no accountability from being at home for 2 years of COVID makes any interaction beyond teaching a class very stressful.
Well many counties don't allow teachers to use ANY negative reinforcement no matter how minor. It's a disgraceful mess.
The worst part of teaching is being broke and tired. Then when you get to the grocery store you're asked to donate to a hospital. Go look at what you're average inner city teacher drives. Then go to any hospital in America. If you don't see at least 5 Lexus or bmws you're lucky.
The profession is on fire and nobody stands in solidarity with teachers. The squeakier wheels get the grease.
Hey Asmon, really appreciate you talking about this and bringing Blue on. Such a sad situation and he talked about so many of the issues teachers deal with in 2023. Reminds me of “1915 rules for teachers” - the fact that we’re still expected to live our lives solely for the purpose of our career is wild.
they destroyed a good teacher, we need good teachers so badly this is VERY sad
I've known blue squadron both irl and from gaming for the past 7-8 years. He is one of the hardest working, funny, and entertaining people i've ever met. He has such a huge heart for those around him. Although I'm sure the ex-guild members intended on bringing him down, I'm positive this has lifted him to exceed any and all expectations people had on him with his content creation career. Keep up the grind, we're here to support you along the way!
Yeah, this just cleared the way for him to break out of his shell. Plus the asmon bump doesn't hurt.
blue squadron the only one that touched grass😂 shits just a game bruh
Blue's one of the most unique streamers and creators in the BDO community, we're lucky to have him. Time zone conflicts don't allow me to watch his streams regularly, but firing up his YT videos never fails to get me laughing, and usually learning something new, after a boring or crappy day. Sucks this happened to him, he comes across as a good bloke.
Not only in the bdo space but as a individual on twitch and UA-cam in general imo
I love that you respect the strategic privacy required for games like that. Very similar mindset in Foxhole. Allied players watch allied streamers, Axis players watch Axis streamers, all while having universal support as a community. Truly unique and an interesting dynamic to be a part of. 🤙
nothng against blue but BDo would get ore respect as a game from more people if they didn't gender lock the classes....by doing that at least for me you lose any respect i might have had...
i wanted to play a ninja and got stuck as a chick....ninjas can be both genders FFS! f that game, i had the same issues with Tera....and that game was worse for having a Loli character eh
@@judgedrekk2981 that just stated you don't know anything about BDO.. Ninja in fact is a man.. while Kunoichi is a female.
@@judgedrekk2981just to be clear a lot of the first gen classes tend to have male/female counter part. Striker/Mystic, Witch/Wiz, Archer/Ranger, Ninja/Kuno.
The main differences between these classes is if you played then in awakening where they get an extra kit. But a lot of classes are viable in succession or their base kit.
my advice is if you can get passed the gener locked side of the game, it does have a lot of great combat to offer
First of all I am a fourth generation Canadian. I started in a public school in 1999, and I went to private school in 2007. Graduated in 2011. I never knew what my teacher’s political preferences were. They often steelmanned both sides and let us students argue amongst each other to figure out what was reasonable. If you know where your teacher stands, they aren’t encouraging you to figure out what is right and wrong, they are indoctrinating you.
Ima give this guys a follow cause this is horrid and I think he deserves to get more financial support so he can commit to a full time position in streaming it’s so fucking sad hearing the story I feel terrible
Blue_Squadron is a pillar of the BDO community and is a very entertaining content creator. With his personality I'm sure he was a great teacher as well.
All of this is evidence for wrongful termination. Not to mention he can present this to the games Devs and let them decide who is owner of the guild.
Massive shame on the gamers that went WAY OUTTA their way to hurt this man and his family. Line was crossed terribly.

Let’s get the woman’s name, and call her job
I would respect my teacher so much more if they were a full time teacher who still had time to game and have his own channel. This guy has his fucking shit together, a lot of inspiration and experience to impart on his students. The worlds a fucking joke.
This is the perfect video to show my daughter. She wants so bad to be a teacher and Ive been telling her no the fuck you don’t. You don’t make any money, Always working extra hours, Always being disrespected, Always dealing with complaints…
Son of a teacher here. Some people feel 'called' to do it. I respect her passion. But no-one should get into teaching unless they truly understand the things you are talking about.
kids now a days are such little brain dead dirt bags, not all but far to many are. do your best to help her find a better calling. there are so many fields that will give her a better life. try to help her find ones that are also not over saturated as well because that can lead to issues if the chosen field is
Ya I’m starting to really wish someone sat me down and did this for me before I spend 6 years in college attaining credentials
There's private sector teaching opportunities out there, such as for professional certifications for adults, higher education, corporate seminars, etc.
let your daughter live her own life
This seems like a place where the school/his employment should have been more supportive. It's extremely hard to find good teachers and the way America treats them pushes them out in droves.
Its the administrations imo that are responsible. They are selective about their outrage and don't care about the students or the teachers
Administration will throw you under the bus as soon as they can to protect themselves
@@Chaoslordx13 i would still say that it depends sometimes, some Karen's tend to lie and the administrations will believe her since they provide "some" proof makes her believable, who knows what she or someone (got) leaked, even out of context - just waiting for the next years ppl gonna make ppl get fired cuz some 1 made an AI voice saying stuff. The whole System is just stupid, no protection, unlike other countries where u cant get fired that easily, unless there is actual proof and forbidden activity that conflicts with the job.
School administrations (as well as the school board, though they're elected so I think of them as separate) are where most of the fault lies when it comes to pretty much any problem with a school district. Funding for schools in the US is insane, and iirc it's usually takes up the largest portion of any state's budget (at least one of the largest). In essence, the problem isn't funding, the problem is the money is mismanaged to hell. And who manages that money? The admins.
Unfortunately, politicians and admins both like to perpetuate that funding is the issue, because it benefits both the politician and admins when school budgets get increased: one gains political capital (and kickbacks on occasion, sometimes from the unions themselves), and the admins get more money to allocate in the same poor way (again, can go into their own wallets). Not every school administration is like this, but it's extremely common when you get to larger cities. Unfortunately, the loser is almost always the rank-and-file teachers and students, because it was never really about their interest and well-beng in the first place. Heck, this even happens at the university level, but that's another topic altogether.
Another issue with the masters degree is it can be challenging to get a job after getting a masters because the school's would rather hire a teacher with only a certificate because it is cheaper. A lot of teachers get a certificate and do their masters on the side so they can get the masters while they already have the job.
I have known Blue for the last year and he's one of the hardest working human beings that I've ever met. If he is now able to put his full energy and time into content creation, he's definitely going to be successful! We support you blue!
What a terrible situation, quite pathetic really. Teachers really are one of the most selfless and underappreciated careers out there. They take a lot of abuse for such little pay, and they are literally the foundation for the next generation of everything! So sad. I really want to comment to you Asmon, and say THANK YOU for all the kind things you said about teachers, agreed 1000%! Great video!
@Intheendyourlifeisnothing Hi Karen!
@Intheendyourlifeisnothing wait that supposed to be the klan? lol No way they'd take in my rear, I'm more likely to get a cross in flames. If not them, I'm genuinely lost on what you meant.

@Intheendyourlifeisnothing Goofiest comment I've seen in like 6 months I think.
@Intheendyourlifeisnothing you are out of your damned mind if you think his (VERY TAME)stream is the worst these high schoolers watch on the daily. Grow up.
I found Blue's channel because of this video months ago....I still watch this guy to this day. He is genuinely funny and entertaining even if you don't like BDO.... Blue_Squadron is awesome to watch!!
This makes a lot of sense as to why so many of my teachers growing up were miserable or checked out. I hope this guy succeeds and even surpasses whatever goals he's set for himself.
It isn't just teaching. Pretty much any actual career that isn't just minimum wage retail or fast food will fire someone for something that happened outside of work that they deem unprofessional and that has the potential to negatively impact their reputation
But you won't have to worry about that
Man, as a veteran educator, I hella felt this entire guy's experience. He sounded passionate about teaching and it's awful to lose any new talent. On top of that, many of us can relate; gotta keep IRL very far from what we do online because we have to be perfect or uphold this facade that we don't live lives outside the school.
the only thing i would have suggested to the teacher is to not stream his face, plenty of people get away with streaming a front or a mask while they perform and it makes it easier to prevent the collide of worlds like what happened here, and i TOTALLY agree, we need to pay teachers more if thats the standard we require
The fact he needs to do streaming as a side hustle tells you all you need to know about his financial situation in relationship to his previous job as a school teacher... These teachers are expected to be just as righteous as politicians but get paid a fraction and as Asmon said, it definitely doesn't create a incentive for these teacher's to uphold any more moral integrity.
School is a shame and propaganda and a way to make people not work until 30, all these teachers should be fired, I've worked since 15 and guess what? Nothing pays, I'm not going to work to death and do some dumb hustle for money that buys less and less, just enjoy the collapse and destruction that everyone wanted and voted for while cry about some loser who should picked a better job

@@kylekelley3090 the internet
@@IvorMorris Except they are more righteous than politicians? Please go volunteer at any Elementary School and come back to report what the reality is on the ground in classrooms.

That’s really unfair, truly this isn’t a onlyfans situation this is just a simple stream; a Gaming stream. I wish I had teacher who were vocal about video games.
Asmon popped off with that pay the teacher quote.
100٪ This dude should sue. He should also take his teaching skills and make it a part of his online career. People love gaming content creators that also include some form of academics into their content in a way that compliments and enhances it. One of my favorite channels on UA-cam is Roanoke Gaming because of his passion for biology, games, and films, and his ability to weave them together into a really entertaining and informative way.
If Blue plays his cards right, he could have a decent career ahead of him as a content creator.
I'm a high school teacher who regularly plays online games with past and present students. I have no doubt that this guy is one of the great teachers who is able to connect with students on a real level and really speak into their lives. It's a shame that some short-minded individuals threw him under the bus. If you've ever been on a high school campus recently, you'll know how idiotic it is to be upset over swearing and clothing choices online, when the issue is tenfold in the schools themselves.
Honestly it feels like having a twitch stream would just help the teacher to connect with their students even more. Seems a huge shame to fire a teacher over something like this.
Exactly! Like, wtf. A few years back in uni, I had a professor who I played moba games with. And now, me and my daughter have some of her teachers added in our friend list in genshin. Its such a wasted potential to just terminate him for that.
"Billy, if you cause another wipe your project will be due tomorrow!"
@@TheSchnieder6 literally the best part of my job XD
He sounds like a fantastic person and a wonderful teacher who cared and invested in himself and his students. If he needs a change of scenery, Arkansas now pays our teachers starting at $55k/year on top of having an affordable cost of living. We'd be happy to have another person committed to his craft representing what's right and good in America. Just followed and subscribed to him, wishing Blue Squadron the absolute best on his journey.
ye. bet there ain´t no shortage of work. if he would seek it.
He just couldn't say to his dad he quit.
The 35k a year is bull and a manipulation of reality at best it is after taxes at worst it is an outright lie and cope... asmon also just got caught out... it turns out that teachers do get paid during the summer and aren't working at the school.
To summarize:
- Teacher works 90 hour weeks (that's more than double)
- Makes $35 000 a year. I'm not even from USA, I'm from lower standard EU country and salary here isn't that low
- 2 months free during summer during which he has to work to make ends meet
- Kids have 90 sec attention span. Parents are angry at teacher if their grades are low. They are not worried WHY their grades are low
- Guy gets harassed by psyhotic guild member and gets fired because.. he streams
Is this some kind of fucking parallel universe I ended up at? What the hell?
He elaborated that he is at school for 40 hours a week, but it becomes 50 hours a week if you count the lesson plans, the homework correction, etc. then it becomes 90 hours a week if you add everything he does as a content creator.
@@splamborgin271 how is your comment helpful? Like.. it minimizes what the guy does or what? How does your brain function man?

In highschool i had a philosophy teacher that was a really cool guy honestly and to the people that asked him for philosophy books he recommended good reads. In one of the books he recommended there was an explicit scene i guess and this high schooler reported it to her parents which went to the school and the teacher was fired. Not a month after that we got the news that he died as he was already suffering from a tumor in his brain and i genuinely felt like crying.
A highschooler couldn't handle an explicit scene in a book? WHAT?
@@heroslippy6666 Yeah conservative families in my region go kinda crazy.
I normally don't care enough to press the like button or comment, but this time is an exception where I also went to BlueSquadron's Twitch and YT to follow him & show my support. What a load of horseshit that the dude is subjected to such a demanding workspace that takes up a degree of his time at home, lesson planning, homework, grading, following a curriculum, finding ways to present these things to the students in a way they'll find it interesting, meeting and responding to parents constantly, reporting to other staff members about complaints, probably being treated like dogshit by mentionable number the very same students, garbage un-livable salary....and then the dude can't even go home and cuss or blow off some steam online while trying to make some extra money so that he can maintain a basic level of life.
It's also so disgusting that there are people online that get into a disagreement or argument with someone and their first instinct is to try and attack someone's source of income so that they can't even live/pay rent/buy food. The dude is doing a HUGE public service by accepting the dogshit wages and STILL educating hundreds or thousands of our children.
I also feel sorry for the daughter of this crazy woman that did this to him, what a terrible example to be setting as a parent.
As a teacher’s husband, it doesn’t just control the teacher. If I got on the internet doing certain things, she’d be fired.
This is the exact nightmare scenario that sticks out in my mind and makes me hesitate starting content creation.
As a teacher, it's a tough call because it's something I really want to do, but all the points Blue Squadron made about this type of thing spreading like wildfire are true.
I offhandedly mentioned to another teacher about streaming (just as a concept) and a student overheard. Within a day the whole school was asking me if I was a streaming.
It doesn't take much.
My fear is bad actors or mentally ill people finding my location and putting my safety in jeopardy. There are a lot of sick people out there and the only way I could start streaming is if I had a Mask on and kept my anonymity.
If you stream you can’t tell anyone! No face on camera and you have to be real careful, people will make stuff up, less is best
Nobody would know who I am if they saw my channel irl
It has zero implications or connections to my real life
Safestest way to do anything online tbh
You could always stream without a camera so you won't be quite as easy to find or notice, if you will.
Faceless, never leak personal info, or makeup a character like Doc.
He sounds like he's a great teacher.

Sue the woman for defamation. She literally caused him to lose his job.
I understand where you are coming from, but to sue he would have to show that she lied. Unfortunately she didn't "defame" him. She just shared information that she knew would be destructive. It sucks. But legally, she's would only be liable if she made it all up.
@@johnray527 she did lie though when she accused him of "being weird" in regards to her daughter, although the chatter probably didnt mean that

Not worth the time and money my guy, unless you're megacorp who has hundred of lawyers and minions to do the lawsuit for you.
There are a lot of jobs that you can't create content. I remember a guy that had a channel that teaches people how to code, and he got fired from Facebook when it was discovered. The company doesn't want a potential liability or someone who can accidently leak confidential information live.
If that guy was my teacher I’d be hype. I respected teachers way more who were real and not fake standing on moral high ground
The worst ones are those who were in the private sector and think they're God's gift to the students, and are trying to transplant that exact job as a way of learning things.
Goes the same for the military. I was told I couldn't have the opinions I had on my own private social media because an old co-worker (military person) contacted my first sergeant along with their friends. I was given a letter of reprimand over it and I was told that any further infractions will be documented and appropriately punished.

Teacher here. I’ve been doxed by a competing guild, tried to ruin my life(made up HORRID rumours about me). Seems like as soon as people(I’m being so, so generous with that term) find out you teach, they see an opportunity to hurt you and, if they’re low quality enough, they take it.

I mean i live in the UK so the 2 work practices are different between the countries, but really you shouldn’t have to be fired over this. Technically the parents should have done so much better and told their kids not to be watching but I guess I am just being too logical with common sense. Best of luck with your full time content career.
I'd say now he has the ability to pursue teaching on youtube in addition to his gaming content if that's something he'd think of doing.
doesn't have to be held back/restricted by the education system as he can just make some videos designed for helping anyone that wants to watch/learn from them.
This is so upsetting. Not only for him but culturally we're failing
Even if you don't play bdo you can just sit on his channel and he doesn't fail to entertain. His reaction to videos are just hilarious.
A woman took his guild, used children against him, and then a woman fired him. Poor guy out there dealing with witches and goblins
Just listening to him talk you could tell he is a genuine dude and a caring and great teacher. Such a shame to see a great teacher be let go over fear of the toxic cancel culture
So he was Karen'd out of a job? His school admin is lacking a backbone.
I lead a guild in BDO for a year and can confirm it is one of the most socially toxic games ever made. A girl spread a rumor about me because I said something she didn't like and people *hunted me down in game and killed me* because of it.

As an fellow Educator we have a hard enough time keeping good teachers let alone having them, we have a hard time finding or getting people wanting to be substitute teachers.

You’re a grown man who can do whatever he wants, but I understand the respect part my sister is a teacher. God bless bro, God put you exactly where you need to be. Maybe you can teach in a way and just because you’re not “a” teacher doesn’t mean that the gift of teaching has been stolen from you. I think you can still be a great teacher of many things, I hope everything goes great for you.
Hope this was a blessing in disguise I’ll sub the guy just to support I couldn’t imagine the stress that would put someone through
Very cool for Asmond to go ahead and live call the dude, more to him for answering and chatting. Genuine discussion.
To be honest , just by what this guy says on his own volition, this guy had no business being a high school teacher. If I found out about this behavior I wouldn’t want my young kids around him. If anything this is for the best he can now commit to be a streamer full time.
I love you taking the time to do this. He deserves the backing of your community as well as you. It really will be the best thing to ever happen to him…wide words my friend.
