Orb, racist remarks on ladder and personal stream - Page 70

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.

Maybe those dudes were actually black. [Conspiracy Keanu face]

joking aside (it was a joke!):
An angry skinny white dude uses slurs that can be considered offensive but im sure he cant even comprehend this.

Too much Starcraft not enough life in this kid I tell you.
Orb, stop being such a nerd and grow the fuck up.

What I don't understand is why people shun Orb for this but minimize it when Destiny (to quote one of many popular players) does it.

Besides. The worst and most unprofessional thing about this wasn't even Orb racially abusing people while laddering, it's the fact that he's so much of a coward that he felt the need to tell absolutely terrible paper-thin lies about the whole thing rather than having the common decency to claim responsibility for his actions.
I mean "it wasn't me it was my friend"? Seriously? I haven't used that one since I hit puberty.

Awful lot of closet racists and privileged white nerds in this thread outraged at the thought of someone being punished for using their god-given constitutional right to hurl racial slurs at people for cannon rushing them in a video game.
It's really easy to not be racist guys, just give it a try.

It's not that hard to be more creative! There's world of insults out there!

Just announced on the EG cast, an announcement about Orb should be coming soon.

I really hope they just suspend him for a bit and bring him back ... He deserves some shit but it's not like he's actually a dick.

What if Orb actually had some Black Ancestors? Would everything be fine then?

So you are saying that everyone who doesn't want to see "orb's head on a pike" is racist? I think you should be punished for calling me racist. I'm gonna get the Reddit Sheriffs on this case!

Yeah, people who agree with me are reasonable adults, whereas people who disagree with me are just dumb kids. Reasonable adults like to make horrible fallacies, so I know I'm one.

If you think calling someone, whom you don't even know, racial or homophobic names is okay, then yes, you're childish. Save your moral relativism, it's a simple fact that people find these words insulting for very good reason.

oh noooo!! somebody said "nigger" and "faggot" in a game!
Who cares, racial and homophobic slurs are a part of everyday life. Seriously this community is dramatizes so many things. Destiny uses "nigger" on stream all the time, yet I don't see people constantly new threads to disparage him.
EG and their disciplinary action is another story altogether.
Please don't give me that bullshit about "killing Esports" also, most people hate/don't listen to Orb anyways.

destiny does not, also the difference is destiny IS JOKING ORB IS NOT. Calling people nigger and lieing about it then saying im gonna smoke bowl is not only unproffesional it is beyond BM he is literally kkk racist

Had orb handled this better, EG wouldn't have fired him. That said, this is also partly a result of the /r/witchhunt mob. Reddit makes it pretty easy to act without regard for consequences.

Wow you say you don't care about racism affecting your race, but yet you say "Easy Ivy League if I was black, and hard ivy league if I was Asian."

Really now?

As a black guy with a Korean wife I know she cares about racism affecting her. She still has a hard time trusting Japanese people because of what happened a LONG TIME AGO in the past. For example, the raping/pillaging of Korea and etc. So to say that it's stupid that people care about what happened in their past is kind of ignorant if you ask me...

This is funny because it sounds to me like your wife is a xenophobe for no good reason at all.

It is ridiculous how some people actually feel sorry for themselves because of what happened to their race or country before they were even alive, boo fucking hoo.

This is a ridiculous discussion

This incident does not effect "professional image of gamers" or "growing esports" all that matters for that is traffic data.
Orb is a good caster, what he says in his personal stream has no relevance to esports.

This is just a way for all the TL imbeciles to have a big circle jerk and act all self righteous and it
is disgusting to try and ruin someone for your own pleasure.

Everyone acting all hurt over this needs to grow up.

People say this isnt a big deal....but in a real proffesional sport, you have players getting fined for giving the finger(and they have to make a public apology). Players who insult other players while on the ice is fine if its insulting them about the game...but when it goes personal(making fun of someones family players get fined over it) And insults to other players can't even be heard or seen by the audience and they make it a big deal.

This community has been in a bubble for a decade(most of esports has) and it's always wanted more exposure and to go more mainstream. But yet they don't want to act proffesional in the eyes of the mainstream.
