EPTObviously this isn't how he should conduct himself but people have no mercy, saying nigger is not a good thing to do but it doesn't mean that someone is racist. I would hate to see a career get ruined by this kind of stuff. Orb has always been BM and I think most people knew that about him, it doesn't change the fact that he was one of the few casters out there who isn't a complete idiot when it comes to the game.

Esports needs to clean up it's act if it's to be recognized how dare people express their anger through words. Thats a great idea, but i think we should bump it up to $500, and a perm-ban from TL. | ||

Personally, after defeating 1 of the current pros (whom I will leave nameless) I received tons of $hit talking after the game. Did I screen shot it and take it to TL to say how bad of a person they are? Of course not. That's completely pointless. | ||

It's nice that this is a gm community but jesus this doesn't need it's own thread... and that's a good thing? why should we accept racism? | ||

Nigger here has exactly the same meaning as retard which has the same meaning as idiot or stupid shit.... or whatever. Its all about context. People gotta stop with all this political correctness. | ||

If he is racist or if he isn't, that's not the problem. As long as he keep his racism for himself (like, not dating "niggers" etc), that's fine. But you can't let someone famous speak like this as if it was okay. You want to be respected? Good, how hard is that to respect others? It is that hard for you? Ok, but then you won't deserve to be someone that deals with people like this. My comment here is to the ones asking "what is the problem/point", I am not saying that Orb is anything, as I don't even know/listen to him, but this issue is important indeed. | ||

faggots, sandmonkeys A completely different issue is being a "celebrity" or professional in the scene and not being a role model, but remember that these are also people like you and me, and they get pissed off all the same. | ||

L2Read Yeah but I didn't write a paragraph about how this is unacceptable. Its his own personal stream/account so he can do what he wants. If you don't support his behavior don't support him. That's all there is too it. | ||
