But what separates the SC2 community is that we have higher standards than the average gaming community. It's completely appropriate to be discussing these things so that Orb, and other players, know that they're out of line. LOL "higher standards" That's the funniest thing I've seen yet. Being magnets to drama and writing pointless open letters/constantly berrating people who make 1 mistake (like IdrA) isn't holding yourself to higher standards. | ||

It's also pathetic how people can go on with all the sexual/ family etc abuse and nobody cares, but when the "n" word comes everyone is in shock. | ||

This is a real problem, the internet all of a sudden became super uptight and politcally correct. News flash, people make their own defintions for words all the time. We use rape and gay and fuck and whatever else in a totally different context within gaming compared to the outside world. Saying "gay" as a negative doesn't make you a homophobe any more than it makes you a sociopath. Gay also means happy, so if you call something gay negatively it doesn't mean you hate happiness. And if you call someone a nigger (especially someone whose race you can't possibly know) it doesn't mean you hate black people. Sorry this isnt 1950, popular culture changes the definition of words very quickly and if you get hung up on one meaning from one time period, you have to be sensitive to a LOT more words than just nigger and faggot. for the record, I barely even know who orb is and have watched almost zero of his casts. I don't give a damn about the dude. I care about our community which is rivalling celebrity magazines in terms of gossip, drama and stupidity. | ||

You realize that NO "white" singers or rappers (orb is white) say the N word. Guess why? They're professional and know that if you're white and you use the N word all the time, it's racist. again for the derps that read this and will rage, I'm not saying a huge deal should be made. but he is a representative of our community and to say it doesn't matter is also very insensitive and doesn't look good. | ||

It's not. Otherwise that would've been Orb's excuse right outta the gate. | ||

If he thought that blacks are stupid, he wouldnt use "dumb nigger", as it would be a tautology!! Gotcha there, bro... gotcha there. | ||

And if he didn't have that in mind, why did he renege? Clearly he is an ignorant idiot, and we shouldn't associate with people like that. People and actions like these are the first steps to the degradation of ESPORTS. He probably renege because he knew people would freak out if it was him and tried to brush it under the carpet. And by doing so made it worse when it came out. | ||

That's it. That's all. Discussion over. Orb needs to get a severe reprimand and realize that he isn't a dumb kid anymore and same for everyone who posted stupid shit in this thread about how you totally use nigger with your black friends. | ||

The nerd rage and all the excuses for it is just idiotic. I used to watch orb's stream for a bit but the endless flaming and harassment towards his opponents is really irritating and uncomfortable. It's a shame honestly, bc orb is a charismatic person and does particularly well as a caster, but these are the kind of things that just turn you off about him. It was obvious that this guy was not classy but these pictures are just embarrassing. Personally, I hope he's reprimanded as this immaturity should never be advocated. As long as games remain tailored to children you'll have immature behaviour in them. | ||

People and actions like these are the first steps to the degradation of ESPORTS. I disagree. If you know anything about raging and swear words you would be able to recognize a string of rage. Saying "your dumb nigger strategies" is equivalent to saying "your dumb shit strategies" or "your dumb gay ass strategies". There is no correlation between "dumb" and "nigger" which indicates he thinks black people are stupid, you are on a witch hunt. | ||
