And shameful to my other Belgians who think so too. People in the pro scene simply can't act this way... There are some seriously low social standards in this thread that surprise me. It's not ok for anyone to use racist slang's despite how common it is... White Americans don't find this offensive,eh? Nice generalization there, bud. You're just as racist as orb. | ||

Hint: being in a minority is a big part of racism. I have no idea what you are even trying to argue. Webster is the name of Daniel Webster, whose name is not on a popular dictionary, as you know... I was stating that his definition of racism was too narrow. I am unsure what you are hoping to say. | ||

BUT don`t make a witchhunt out of it. How was that science fictional saying ... "the one without guilt, throw the first stone" or something like that. Ask yourself if you always act correctly while playing a computer game in your private time. And this is what actually happened here. An (temporarly) idiot sitting at home and writing stupid stuff to his cannon rushing opponent. If you guys have too much energy and want to do the right thing: go help the homeless, go tell your goverment to stop all military actions on foreign soil, go and raise awareness of how bad the education for most people is or go and fight for a fair sharing of all wealth. These things are worth spending your energy for. Witchhunting someone over the internet, because he said stupid stuff, is not. | ||

This thread and the stuff that happened on reddit disgust me, who really cares what he said to someone in the heat of several moments. Jesus. Sad - sad day for this 'community'. I don't think his casting career being harmed, or even ending, is ruining his life. If he gets fired from his job he can get a new one. No one is harassing his friends/family etc in real life or anything of the sort. | ||

Rage all you want but, the moment you start using racial slurs and expect to grow your public image it will come back to bite you in the ass. Say that the community are hypocrites all you want, but we aren't all trying to be the face of a league/tournament/organization. People at the top need to be held to higher standards because that's who people who aren't "in the know" will go to check out. It's his own fault really. There's a difference between using that language privately among people you know won't get offended and spouting racist bullshit to random people you don't know in public streams/games. | ||

Damn or Hell don't refer to any specific group of people so they aren't even comparable. All the other words you listed are off limits...is that really a revelation/surprise for you? Klondikebar, as ever, wording things in a way I just can't. But suffice to say, I agree. | ||

I used to do this when I was in middle school until one day I did it in front of a person who was actually gay. They stopped me and told me to my face that I was being an ignorant shit and explained how it felt to be persecuted. That was 14 years ago and I haven't said it since. | ||

People, how un-empathetic can you get??? Everyone experiences frustration on ladder. Even IF Orb said those things (not sure if he did, doesn't matter though) it's none of your business and certainly not grounds for a thread. I can't believe people make these threads to broadcast someone's mistakes to the whole world. This is literally insane. I am disappointed in the fact that threads like these aren't cleaned up because none of us are entitled to discuss this topic except for the people involved. It's like if a kid got an F on a report card and his parents phone all his friends and family and tell everyone about how bad a student their son is. Ugh just sick of people trying to make others look like dirt and broadcast it to the world. | ||

People shouldn't need to be aruing if he is racist or not. Just think about a sec if he thinks about certan ethinicity when he uses the words he used. No, can't you relate to anger of losing in ladder? Even when YOU play sc2? It's another thing to discuss whether public people should stop using any words we/some people don't want them to in their own private streams. This is exactly my thoughts. there is about 20 pages of crap posted in here. This guy got it right on the first page. If instead of "Nigger" he used the word "Cunt", would there be a thread? This is just insane I support freedom of speech and a right to privacy. This thread and all the people harassing orb, are violating those two things. word | ||
