God damn, it irks me when people get up in arms about a word because of the word itself, nigger is HARDLY used primarily as a racial slur any more, its just become one of the other numerous insulting nouns. Incidentally, this is ladder rage/BM, big deal, maybe if he said this on the EG MCSL stream or something, but this? Bah, get over it. | ||

Orb shouldn't even listen to reddit, they can say whatever they want and have no penalty to it what so ever. That's the only thing that is giving this non sense publicity By that logic, nobody should even listen to Orb, since he can say whatever he wants without any consequences. Actually, I fully agree. Hopefully, he can just shut up and stay at home, then everybody can stop giving him publicity. | ||

however, the situation does suck. I liked orb's casting but will not watch his stream or any he's casting on after this =/ (I also don't watch other stream(s) for similar reasons) | ||

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. just because people sit behind a computer doesnt mean that their choice of words wont give any ramafications. | ||

Personally I don't care what the guy does on his own time, but he still represents an organization even when he's not "on the clock." Look at some major athletes that lost some sponsorship because of behavior on their own time, ie, Michael Phelps and Tiger Woods. | ||

proof : I don't know how to respond to this post without being extremely and increasingly angry. I have fully admitted to that SINGLE MOMENT in my stream when I used the N word back in beta. I apologized profusely for it and it even cost me my featured stream on TL. From me using the N word a single time in the last 2 years against a proven maphacker, and for you people to come in MY HOUSE (aka my stream thread) and try to tell me I use it every single day as part of my regular vocabulary is slanderous and hypocritically highly offensive. Try to at least put some thought into your words before you spew them out of your keyboard the evidence show that he is not only use only single N word back in beta,but many time. | ||

 I'm not even mad that he mouthed off on his stream. I'm mad that he tries to deny his shit and gets EG to vouch for him. | ||

For someone who doesn't live in the US, can you tell me how it's totally normal for black people to call themselves and even other people niggers, while when white people use the term it becomes a criminal offense? I'm aware the history of black people in America, but doesn't this a bit too hypocrite? Not to mention that only like 2% of SC2's userbase is black (according to a non representative poll in one of the threads back then) so chances that the guy is indeed black and got offended too is...slim. For me, as long as you don't use the word nigger in an offensive conxtext against a black people, it's no worse than faggot or gay or any kind of petty insult. (or you think is an insult) why is it ok for gay people to make gay jokes? why is it ok for poor people to make jokes about how poor they are but when filthy rich people do it it's discusting, because if you're in the shit, it's ok. | ||

Or attacks on ones bodily or facial features? You're drawing a line that suits you, racism isnt "worse" than talking smack about anything else you're born with and can't change. | ||
