He is beginning a career that he would really enjoy. Then he is accused. At this point, there is a really big incentive for him to try and just deny allegations because he is afraid of what will happen. To be honest, I really doubt he thought that there would be so much evidence against him. This is a typical mindset to have, I'll just deny it and let it blow over. I'm not defending orb for his actions, they clearly were mistakes; however, when the consequences are like "removed from our world", I can't say I agree with the decision. Anyway, I think everyone makes mistakes and that orb has enough passion for SC2 to not purposely do anything that would negatively affect him. | ||

It's a terrible word, but I think it makes you a racist about is much as sitting in a garage makes you a car. I think it just makes you childish and they need to grow up a little. It's just what happens when children think of the most hurtful word they can and use it. If there was a more hurtful word they could think of, they'd use it. | ||

if he just apologised from the get go and said he didn't intend to offend anybody then most people wouldn't care | ||

Nigger is pretty much a normal thing to say tbh, its got nothing to do with racism, its just a word thats easier to say then black people.. just like niggers say whiteguy, it also isnt racism.. also niggers can say nigger to fellow niggers, while when a whiteguy says the same its all of the sudden racism? People saying that nigger cant be said should lighten up a bit And about the lying part, who cares that Orb lies... (i dont even know him while i have the feeilng i know pretty much players in the sc2 community) Now i think about it, this topic is pretty bad I hope you're joking. Also, Orb was pretty popular even back in beta (he played in the HDH), so obviously you don't know as much about the SC2 scene as you think. | ||

LOL someone raged on ladder, not sure what orb's gonna do now that he's removed from sirscoots' world obviously not smart/nice to do it, esp since you're kind of a public person, but as others said, he raged on ladder, everybody (sadly does), not much else to it | ||

Just because he didn't realize typing racist slurs and lying about it would come back to bite him doesn't make it any more forgivable. | ||

MOVE ON WITH YOUR LIVES AND STOP SCRUTINIZING A PLAYER FOR RAGING. and even if he is racist, is that your business? I would imagine that EG's sponsors will give a flying fuck. | ||

How about the part where his boss asked him about it and he lied to him? I think a lot of people care and you should calm down. EG is a very big presence in the e-sports scene and represents us a lot. Orb is very bad for sponsorship and does our community an injustice. How many other casters do you see with this kind of stuff coming out? None? Thought so. Ever wonder if there is a reason? | ||
