Look how many sponsors have left Rush Limbaugh or Tiger Woods or many others when controversy breaks out. Obviously nothing in eSports will ever be on that big of a scale, but sponsors absolutely care about and try to avoid controversy like this. They have nothing to gain and plenty to lose. Agreed. Business is business. If you want to have a job in the puplic eye even the appearance of racism can be disaster. That's what Orb is finding out. In 1988 Jimmy the Greek made some foolish racist comments and never worked again. Maintaining an image that will stand up to public scrutiny takes more emotional stability than Orb has. A white guy slinging the n-word around is playing with fire under any circumstances, even more so when he is using it as an insult. User was warned for this post | ||

These are not professional actions. (This is frowned upon in the professional world and UHMM ANYWHERE ELSE) I know it's the internet but themz the breakz. (feedback for the thread) EDIT: He may have not done it while casting but he did it in public. If anyone of importance actually said this in public, in any forum, there would be backlash.

As far as know all the screen shots are before he moved to eg. He has no EG overlay as far as I know. SO the stream chat people are talking about happened during his casting for ESV | ||

Although the word 'faggot' is homophobic it was thrown around for many years without any thought, especially by young people. It was used interchangeably with other mindless insults, such as 'gay'. That doesn't justify people using it but it makes it a hell of a lot more understandable and innocent than using 'nigger'. Anyone who lives in America should know that the latter is considered far, far more offensive. Dude have you ever been down south? people use the N word like nothing, plus it was used with out any thought many years ago too. Are you serious? It is all about who it is presented to. A gay person may be more offended by fag than an african american by the N word [b]User was temp banned for this post. | ||

I'm a big fan of your casting and all of your work. Honestly, I used to think you were the perfect caster and was really entertaining. As I do still think you are an amazing caster, there are some things that I think you could improve on. A. Taeja, look, it is a well known fact that you love taeja. However, after watching the esv finals, it seems like your casting tends to be a lot biased towards him. I felt that as the series was getting closer to the end, it started to bother me more and more. It just seems that you tend to emphasize how well taeja is doing too much (even though the esv grand prix finals #2 were not a very good example, *spoilers* squirtle got wrecked). I will admit right now, as a very big squirtle fan, it hurt having to listen to you circlejerk about taeja the entire time (in the end, i could not tell if i was on sc reddit after a mlg event or watching the esv grand prix). I think you should try to be a little bit more neutral in your casts. Here's something you might want to take into consideration, what if you were casting to an audience of squirtle fans the entire time? I feel that many people would be offended. I'm not sure if I'm he only person with this gripe, or if I am just crazy, but it would be nice if you were a bit more neutral. B. Screaming. This tends to be an issue with a lot of casters. I'll be honest, I hate it when you scream, again it's not only you, but you are an offender. Some moments in the game tend to be very exciting, (ie great emps by taeja, etc) but I think that 100% of the time, casters should not scream. I understand that casters should sometimes change the inflection of their voice to show emotion (look at day9), but screaming is pretty much never good. I mean, showing emotion is good, but not when you are screaming and people cannot quite understand what you are saying. I hate to bring a bad example, but you will often see Wolf and khaldor scream during code a casts. (No offense to them) That is similar to the way you are doing it and I think it's an area of weakness. Sorry, I'm not sure how to put this in a less ambiguous way. I guess to sum it up, check up on how awkward it makes the audience feel when wolf and khaldor cast, and compare that to how day9 is able to show his emotion through a cast without screaming. Just some food for thought that I think you might want to take into consideration. Again, I mean nothing in malicious intent or anything, (I mean, I still love your casting), I just wanted to put down some things that bug me. GL HF, hope to see you at more events this coming fall. | ||

Still, you're one of the few casters I don't have to mute, so keep up the good work. | ||
