Everyone has rage'd at one point or another on the ladder, sometimes our emotions get the better of us and we don't always properly vent our frustrations. Having said that, calling someone a "nigger" when you are a public figure is irresponsible and makes the people you are representing look childish and immature.
Additionally, if you have watched Orb's stream in the past you would know this isn't a one time thing. He is constantly 'rageing' and being BM towards his opponents. Furthermore, if you want to be taken seriously for your analytical commentary it is imperative that you have a good mindset about the game. Orb seems to think if people don't play his way they are noobs. Well guess what any strategy that wins is worth its weight.
I really hope he wakes up and doesn't come across as such a self-entitled child anymore.

Nope, we got the memo.
Behold our delicious pastry formally known as "Negro ball":

It is now called "chocolate ball". Different name - still delicious.

shouldn't that be african-american ball?

seriously? you just suggested that?
back on topic, silly mistake. not a big deal, community is as ever full of drama seeking retards. hope nothing actually comes of it, half hearted apology to appease the drama queens and the rest of us can go on thinking this is bloody hilarious.
shit, I hope I didn't offend anybody by using the word queens there
Did you notice the part where I said "which I doubt" before the part about Europe needing to catch up? Usually "which I doubt" means that, uh, I doubt that what I'm saying is true.
Anyway, I don't think I'm a drama queen for thinking that it's not okay for casters to be using that kind of language. If he'd apologized right away it'd be different, but instead he's claiming that it was an impostor or some shit and not even owning up to his "mistake."

Scumbag america brings the word "nigger" into modern pop culture through music.....
Lynch mobs any public figure who dare use it

so are they saying shawty instead of shorty?

Just because somebody else does something stupid doesn't mean you should do it too. I'm tired of all this, "OMG this rapper said it so I should say it too. Mommy its not fair." It is not something that is "mainstream," or "acceptable," no matter how hard misguided, stupid, or young/immature people try to make it. Just stop.

What is wrong with this guy... I know theres rage but this is some fucked up rage.

Orb you're the man, let the haters hate. Keep doing your thing man 
|
Can someone tell me why Orb is getting so much hate for using the n-word when Destiny uses it on a regular bases?

Only thing I'd tell to Orb is to stop sharing his BNet account - otherwise, keep being awesome

...or that the word itself doesn't carry as charged of a meaning in countries that historically didn't speak very much english? way to generalize across europe
it's like calling americans of italian descent that live in america "katzenfrasser" and claiming they should be offended as native italians - it's in a foreign language and italian-americans didn't have a reputation for eating cats

Orb say whatever the fuck you want man, don't listen to these babies. You will not be hung for using the word "nigger" on the internet. Just like saying faggot doesn't make you a homophobe, nigger doesn't make you a racist. It's just a cuss word, a dirty word, something foul enough to represent your emotional state and there is no goddamned problem with that.
People need to get their heads straight about this issue... What orb does on his own spare time on his stream is not the business of his employers or business partners. I don't even like the guy, but I'll defend to the death his right to speak how he wants on his own stream.

You know that's a dead obvious excuse and attempt at damage control right? Anyone who's seen him rage or complain on stream should be able to tell that it was definitely him simply from the way he talked. "Garbage->poor plays by the opponent->only worked cause x" is standard orb fare.

Wikipedia is not considered a reliable or scholarly source of information, fyi.
Not to mention that your "research" or justification contradicts your opinion...you at least might want to read the articles next time and try and find a more respectable source if you want to be taken seriously.... Just trying to help

Pretty pathetic that he can't even fess up.
|
I think he should be punished but the overreaction on reddit is pretty dumb.
I think with Orb's recent spotlight, he has to be extra careful with stuff like this but I think everyone is guilty when it comes to using inappropriate language.

Yeah, he uses a term that's blatantly racist and people get offended. What's with that?

Anyone familiar with the English language should know that 'nigger' is not simply another curse. 'Faggot' is obviously a homophobic term.

I have no idea what you're talking about. What he said is simple fact, it's not an opinion at all. There is a major distinction between ending the word with an 'a' or an 'r', one that even white children from the suburbs are aware of. Is there any part of that which you don't understand?
