EPTIt's not like Orb hates black guys cuz he calls sum1 a nigger.
It's very very immature, and not acceptable from a community caster that's for sure.
But racist? nah

Yes because people are bored and want to play jury duty from the comfort of their home. Also, bm is exactly that...bad manners when you rage. It's meant to hurt the receiver. | ||

Way overblown, everyone rages and says stuff they dont mean and they especially dont make anyone racist. Its a competitive game, and in competitive environments, shit is being talked. If Eg feels the need to put ramifications on orb, then they should start with idra first, otherwise they are just being hypocritical. Idra used similar words in live tournaments (fuck you vs huk), and its as bad as the n word, because im quite sure that orb isnt using the word literally, its just an insult completely unrelated to whether he is racist or not. If he had said something like "i hate black people" then i would understand all this rufus, but he didnt do that. Way overblown. | ||

He makes EG look bad after what they did for him, and above all he thinks you are all retarded enough to gobble up the shit he makes up. If anything you should feel insulted he thinks you are that stupid. | ||

I'd rather have a community full of people who actually care when public figures start spewing out words like nigger and faggot while streaming to the public than a community of people who dont care at all. Plus if you think there are only 20,000 viewers you are pretty oblivious. Hope you enjoyed your Joseph Kony action kit  But it could actually work, let's imagine a better world, a world without racism, we could do it if we all up-voted the newly created Facebook page: "say no to racism in E-sports" and liked the youtube video: "Pro-gamers against racial slurs". TL could even sell t-shirts and pins. I would love a "saying n**** hurts e-sports" t-shirt. | ||

Love orb, really hope he stays with EG. The only way I find this offensive is in the sense that I didn't know he raged like a COD player. They're are way better ways to rage orb. You're a smart guy, quit it. | ||

While I agree that issues like this need to be brought up, it's the VOLUME that gets to me. EVERY DAY it seems like there's some silly situation that gets way too overblown. Orb said some racist stuff, attempted to cover it up. That's two no-nos. EG needs to reprimand him, and then it's done. We don't need multiple posts on reddit, we don't need two threads on TL, so the community can move on. It's stuff like this that makes communities like ours appear more childish than their worth. But hey, here's yet another opinion being thrown into the bag. I guess I'm not helping, either. | ||

Especially since it seems like non racists manage to make it through the day without using those words. I find this site very humorous and helpful. And you can submit your own questions if you're not sure! http://yoisthisracist.com/ Has anyone ever heard of the BET litmus test for racism? I also doubt that every 12 year old is a racist. They hear this mean word, they use it. I find it hard to believe that everyone who uses, or has used, this word believes that one race is superior than another. That's why I said it's just childish to use hurtful words like that without giving it much thought. I played XBL for a long time. There's no way that most XBL kids are racist, but if that's what you go on, that would be the conclusion. 90% of the time these words are used, the thought of race or sexual orientation probably doesn't enter their head. | ||
