I really don't care if he calls people a nigger and people trying to turn the usage of the word into a witch-hunt have a serious problem with society. Trying to control what other people think or say is despicable. Funny, because the term "nigger" was derived from asserting a very specific control over black people. There's a reason it needs to never be said. You're right, trying to control people is despicable. | ||

But I don't think he needs to be persecuted for doing what thousands of people do on the ladder every day. Orb doesn't need to be persecuted. He is a person. The concept that different races of people need different labels needs to be persecuted. The idea that being gay is the same as being dumb needs to be persecuted. Sometimes people get caught in the cross-fire and thats too bad, but you can always keep yourself safe by simply not using those slurs. | ||

That line of argument is completely pointless and illogical because none of the racist comments have been said AFTER he was picked up by EG. | ||

(honestly surprised he hasn't gotten banned from bnet between that and the account sharing) Well its not that surprising he doenst get banned on bnet, they usually don't ban you for bm. The only time i was ever banned was after threatening to kill someones family after a stupid loss streak. they would have way too much to do if they banned stuff like that. | ||

We should not accept this kind of language in our community. We shouldn't accept it anywhere. Doesn't matter what happens to this one dude in particular but it's important to speak up. To everybody who thinks "it's just the internet nbd lolz:" Grow the hell up. | ||

EG said that if he had a history of this, he was toast. he insisted he has no history of this. He was asked if he had history. He liked. That's basically where it ends. | ||

It's not about nigger being normalized, that has nothing to do with anything, what are you talking about? The dude said derogatory stuff in ladder games, therefore his reputation should be destroyed? I don't understand that at all. IdrA BMs people, Destiny says much worse stuff, who are all of you perfect kids that have never said anything derogatory? He was not representing EG at the time of these insults via stream or anything. Ladder games. Yes, he should have apologized immediately, and maybe that will be the deciding factor in his punishment, but this reaction is so standard on TL now. Explode over the slightest bit of drama. | ||
