I've played about 20 games of LoL and I've heard the n-word in literally every single game (yes I did count)

The SC2 community is fucking Bambi compared to the LoL community in terms of language, racism, and general manner

I mean honestly if a LoL caster called someone an n-word in a non-streamed game nobody would even bat an eye let alone start a thousand post thread as a response

I feel like either no one has the balls to confront Orb because of friendships or what, or you guys just don't think.

Day9 got the closest to what I was thinking, but where was the comment that using the N word period, is actually kinda wrong? Then to joke about it at the end of the show? You have to be kidding me. Orb dismissed people who are outraged as just being "HATERS". I don't hate you because you have a good job in E-Sports, I dislike you because you are a racist bigot with no grasp on reality or what is right/wrong. No matter how much you wanted to offend someone, you should never use the N word, its simple.

Since JP brought up Idra. Saying "you're so fucking dumb it works" "nice race" is no where as severe as saying "you take dumb N risks"

Sadly parents in this world don't teach their kids that racism is wrong, and you are a prime example. Your parents let you and society down. You have now started a meme which involves a racial slur, good job bro. Funny thing is, indirectly, you have done exactly what you bitched about on the show. Now a new sponsor will check out the SC2 scene and the first thing that will jump out at them is how freely people are willing to say "dumb N risks". I'd love to associate my company with this community!

There is a reason LoL is growing bigger than SC2. It isn't because of the game, it is because of how LoL wants their community.

Lol you have no clue what you are talking about. IdrA has wished death on people before. That is 1000x worse than the N word. The best way to deal with racism in society is to simply stop talking about it. In modern society racism is pretty much dead outside of extremists. No one considers it a true problem anymore. Also LoL is worse than SC2 when it comes to language.

They would though. Nobody cares about random people on ladder, but I can assure you that if any of the popular streamers started calling people niggers there would be some drama.

When will people realize these words only have the power we imbue them with, whatever happened to "sticks and stones will break my bones but words will never hurt me"?

Saying that one word taken out of context has more power than another is patently ridiculous. Orb, along with most people who used racially tinged explicates are not racists, just venting frustration by rebuking social standards of our day and time, and is NO BIG DEAL.

I'm glad that it seems no one on SOTG took the fiasco too seriously and to me this will be remembered as hasty, unremarkable, inadvisable decision in EG's already pained 2nd year of SC2
