Wait so that VOD has been conveniently removed now? This keeps getting better.

I don't know how to respond to this post without being extremely and increasingly angry. I have fully admitted to that SINGLE MOMENT in my stream when I used the N word back in beta. I apologized profusely for it and it even cost me my featured stream on TL.

From me using the N word a single time in the last 2 years against a proven maphacker, and for you people to come in MY HOUSE (aka my stream thread) and try to tell me I use it every single day as part of my regular vocabulary is slanderous and hypocritically highly offensive.

Try to at least put some thought into your words before you spew them out of your keyboard

Maybe you just stop annoying orb... and go somewhere else???

God damn orb is just awesome, his (sometimes) rage makes it entertaining as hell. Stupid people that just open threads and try to flame someone and after that laugh in their dark room, get out please.

Looking forward to the next GameOne cast <3

hey, everyone. alex (ceo of evil geniuses) here.
i'll be making a formal statement about this situation later today. i just wanted to assure everyone that we're aware of these allegations, and that we're taking them very, very seriously.
there will be ramifications here. their severity is something we're still determining, but there's no doubt that the situation requires action on our part.
please try to be patient as we discuss the matter internally.

I Agree.. Just look at the past when other Drama like this has popped up with certain players.

Some complained, Some ignored, Some Cheered

This is going to blow over really soon so I suggest we stop giving Orb more problems than he needs.
If he did it or Didn't do it, Im sure he's learned a lesson regardless.

As far as I can see there is only really one course of action that EG can take... the dismissal of Orb.

In this day and age using racial slurs in the way Orb has is completely unacceptable and in any occupation it should have the most severe penalty.

Obviously Orb was frustrated when he used such language, and I honestly don't think the guy is a racist, but this does not excuse such vulgarity. EG would do right by the whole community by making a stand and showing that this sort of thing has no place in esports.

Blatently lying about it is also deplorable.

Sounds like you've never watched my stream before if you think it's a regular part of my vocabulary.

This type of blatant lying slander should be bannable in my own stream thread...

Yea, and that argument was debunked thoroughly through posts on reddit and TL here by anyone with even a rudimentary community college understanding of semantics. It boiled down to, Destiny felt he should be able to say anything he wanted because he asserted that his communicative context was universally understood as joking/not serious language use and because it's his "personal" stream, but the ways in which that is ignorant, fallacious in principle and inappropriate for a public figure are numerous. It applies to this situation completely because both speakers are immature white males with reckless language use who refuse to reevaluate their schema regarding the effects of saying certain words, and it's still completely idiotic.

Jeez, as always this community blows things way out of proportion. This is the internet and stuff like this will happen, just because he's a part of EG now doesn't make him some flawless being incapable of doing any wrong, orb is human like any of us.

As a community we're so quick to bring into question the character of our peers based on simple mistakes and/or lapses in judgement, but the fact is everybody here is guilty of doing something just as bad, but that doesn't mean we all don't deserve to be a part of this community.
