This position should necessarily excuse orb for his actions, but they definitely should not totally condemn him either. The situation shouldn't dictate a person's response. The person should dictate the response. | ||

Quote from orb on reddit: Had it been me that said this, I would have apologized immediately. But it wasn't. I apologize for sharing my account I guess, but that's something tons of people do, and it's not something that will happen again in the future. So now that it's been proven that you didn't share your account and that it was in fact you playing, how about you apologies for your lies instead? | ||

Some people are saying this is worse because of Orb's lying but apparently Alex said the use of the word 'nigger' was enough to get him fired regardless, so really it seems that using the word "nigger" is enough to get someone fired while using the word "faggot" isn't, which to me seems inconsistent. Anyway, I hope the reddit lynch mob can calm down after this apology and Orb gets a chance to cast again later. | ||

However -- if this kind of thing was posted INITIALLY, I'm not sure orb would've seen such consequences especially because what drew even more attention primarily was that it was an obvious lie/coverup, which then led to a whole bunch of other shit and discussion that sort of spiraled out of control and drew more and more attention to itself. Perhaps the racial issues brought up and their treatment is representative of an evolving and dynamic gaming audience participating in the scene and I think during a time of growth that can only be a good thing. But it's kind of like Clinton and Lewinsky. It's the lying about it that really angers people. The real issue wasn't that Bill was getting blowjobs in the office or is unfaithful to his wife or whatever, I mean some people cared, but Congress eventually tried him for perjury. | ||

To a lot of people faggot is just as offensive. Gay people have suffered a huge amount of discrimination. Just because you think it's OK to use that word doesn't make it so. | ||
