No, pretty much everybody rages and says stupid insulting things, heck I bet if you ran through every replay of WhiteRa you would find some case of BM from years ago or something. Everybody does it there is nothing inherently wrong with it. The place where this all started was bored people on Reddit who have too much time on their hands and an insatiable urge to witch hunt people. | ||

I have only watched his stream once or twice and seen him casting a bit and never saw a reason to hate him. | ||

Is it okay to call a white person by the n-word? If you're joking around. While speaking in english, of course. | ||

While speaking in english, of course. it depends alot depending on the context, where you use it, who your are, who your talking to and what exactly you say but generally you wont get in too much trouble using it in a joking manner among friends but in public its pretty frowned upon | ||

While speaking in english, of course. depends on your company and location Typically countries that did not treat black people as badly do not feel as badly about the word nigger. In the USA however, it seems that context is irrelevant and intent is irrelevant, if you say nigger you are to be nailed to a cross and have your career ruined. | ||

Even though EG made the right business decision this is morally heart-wrenching. Where the heck is Orb going to go now after being fired from a team like EG? | ||

Everybody does it there is nothing inherently wrong with it. The place where this all started was bored people on Reddit who have too much time on their hands and an insatiable urge to witch hunt people. I hate this sentiment. Pretty much everybody does NOT rage and say stupid insulting things. Yes, a lot of people do... but the majority? No. I've seen White-Ra's bad-manners. I've seen him make snide comments and be sarcastic. He does not just throw out insults like Orb did. Don't get me wrong, there are plenty of people out there like Orb. But they're a plaque to gaming, and are something I want to see actively discouraged. You don't have to be perfectly civil -- just a little bit. Even the Korean pros will be rude to each other and show genuine bad-manners. But there is a difference. There are lines of decency and behavior that they don't cross. Maybe some people don't see that line, or want to argue it shouldn't exist -- but it does. Don't call people "nigger", it's a pretty simple, basic life lesson that I learned long before I can even remember. But then again, I don't have a racist family. | ||
