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.

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.

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!

Makes me glad, I think that kind of language we're discussing is deplorable, insulting, and offensive. Beyond that, this kind of "typical" BM just affirms to every decent, thinking adult that the video game community is a haven for childish people who think nothing you say or do matters unless someone "makes it a big deal", and as such will say whatever mean thing they can think of because inside that's just who they are.

While I don't like slander and bandwagoning, I'm really tired of the carte-blanche attitude some people take towards civility, just because it's on the internet. You write someone a hand-written letter calling them racist and homophobic slurs, it's practically a hate crime. You say it in public, and people might call you a pig for the rest of your life. But on the internet, "it's only a big deal because other people make it a big deal".

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.

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.

how old are you?
hundreds of years of brutality?
And this persecution happened to you personally?
What day and age are you living in?

lol?

Sorry but I won't let the white man sweep racism under the rug... actions have consequences, and orb should pay the consequences of his inflamatory remarks on my race.

I'm asian and I really don't give a fuck about racism that happened to "my" race. And yes, there has been a lot of it. What's done is done, most people don't think like this now (or are trying to be politcally correct) so step down your horse. *you* did not suffer hundreds of years of brutality. Your ancestors did. Grow up. To be honest I would love to be black instead of asian because of all the affirmitive action that goes on here. Easy ivy league if I was black, hard ivy league if I was asian.


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.
