The subject of this thread is not a license to roll out your inaccurate, misinformed, poorly conceived, tired, and downright offensive theories about race relations. |
So. I think this is something that really needs to be an example for people in general. Frankly I don't think orb should be removed from casting for it. However:
It needs to stop.
People, casters, players, media staff, translaters, etc...need to all realize that even on their personal time they are representing their job and they need to act appropriately if it at all can come back to them, and that needs to be the bottom line.
I'm not saying the community needs to become boring, I'm not saying that people need to act like robots and shield themselves from the people in the community. If you're in a position where you are looked up to, or you have a professional role of any sort, whether that be player, caster, staff for something, or anything in between, there are expectations for you, whether you're on the clock or not. This is an example, just as people raging on their twitter, just as people raging on reddit or bringing things up that do not belong in the community like commentating on people's salaries and starting rumors, or anything that just makes you personally and OUR scene, look like shit.

You guys are aware that the Final picture cannot be legitimatly from the last week as it is a picture of him at his home in MD and hes been in AZ for at least the last week.

It's a shame that bad manners may be the end to one of our best casters. I always love listening to your casts Orb, it's been nice knowing you.

This behaviour is unacceptable from someone of Orb's status...
|
keep this trash on reddit.

I agree, all swearing should now be banned or fined with a £100 per swear penalty.
Esports needs to clean up it's act if it's to be recognized how dare people express their anger through words.

I, like many people, don't see why this matters at all. It's just more drama. Let EG deal with it, not you
|
People who say "who cares", maybe you don't care, but maybe then, you don't run an organization or care about esports viability
1. If you run an organization and your employees run around calling everyone niggerfucks, than you probably care. If you need me to explain why running around calling people fags and niggers is bad for the organization, than you're too far removed from reality
2. If esports really wants to succeed, or if not succeed expand/stabilize/maintain some sense of professionality, than people who stand at the forefront of the community can't be running around calling other people niggers. Again, if you need this explained to you, than you're too far removed from reality

It's to show that he has used this language in the past.

TL amuses me, how can Katu get shit for jokingly saying that Dragon MAY have been cheating, but orb get's defended for clearly being racist and demeaning of sexual orientation?
You choose to be placed in the eye of the public.
Orb is a well known member of the community, that's why hes getting defended. He said these things on his own time. Hes not "clearly a racist and demeaning of sexual orientation" (so politically correct T_T), hes a guy raging on the internet. If everyone who called someone a nigger or a faggot was a racist and hated gay people, this world would be horrible.
The fact that he lied about it is what makes this so awful (if he did). The majority of people won't care if he got mad, and these things boil over fast, but lying stays with you FOREVER.

Oh no, someone swore on the internet? Goddamn, people are so uptight.
|
i'd actually be more than willing to forget about this if he didn't give such whiny bullshit excuses.

Swearing is fine. Bigotry is not.
|
Please explain to me how you find this thread worthy?
Ever heard of ladder rage? Yeah, happens to everyone. Who cares? When orb starts to have this kind of vocabulary while casting, I won't mind the pitchforks, but seriously, let the guy ladder just like most BM players do and move on.
You know what I find even more immature than people who "swear" like that? People who give a shit about it. geez.
|
Are these recent? If so, string up and watch him burn.
Are they from a while back (before he was involved with trying to be really professional)? Then take it easy and see how he goes in the future.
|
Yay drama....
He's flaming people on ladder.... so? Happens everyday.
What's the big deal?
|
I don't think he should be punished. It looks like his BM rage was happening before EG. If he does it while being a caster for EG then yeah he should get punished but since this is old (At least by the looks of the last screen shot. Its not the EGLair) nothing should happen. Just seems who ever made these threads on reddit are just jealous of him.
