It may not be allright to use the N-word, but it doesn't make it any more right to scream "Fuck you!" into that person's face; if anything, it lowers you to that level. Personally, I believe orb had a lapse of judgment, but he shouldn't be so harshly punished for it. | ||

As a fast growing community on the verge of being mainstream, even the CEO of EG knows they can't have someone with that reputation working for them. It's really sad (disgusting) you can't see that. You have no business brains at all and I wouldn't be surprised if you are unemployed yourself. Everyone (but you) is pulling for E-sports to be successful, I think even orb now realizes that he's going to have to put some thought into his actions as a 23 year old, boo fuckin hoo. The fuck is so hard about watching what you say? If you use the word"n**ger" in a replaceable fashion, then replace it! This shit doesn't fly when you're a public figure. Do you understand? You won't stop reddit, or the groups that witch hunted Mel Gibson, or the boycotters who witch hunted the guy from Seinfeld (Kramer) when he started saying that shit in front of his STAND UP COMEDY AUDIENCE. In a situation where it should even be more acceptable, he still go bent over and is probably making shit for money right now. So fucking learn to watch what you say? I'd say that's a lot easier to do than trying to stop an avalanche of bullshit knocking on your door when you wake up. | ||

Anyways really lame that EG would dismiss orb for something that done in the past, especially since it wasn't during while he was contracted. Unfortunately the community loves their drama and blows things out of proportion. Sad to see people like orb and katu losing their jobs because of people like that. | ||

Puts you on the exact same level... They are just words, anyone offended by words these days is the problem, not the person who said it. Grow up, they are far more important things in life than being called names. And no, just because he happened to use the N-word doesnt make it any worse, its a word like millions of others in the english language. | ||

Just wanted to say that I am a huge fan of your casting, and I enjoy your casts a lot. I personally don't approve of the use of the "n-word" in public,* and I feel that Evil Geniuses had to make the move they did. That said, I also don't approve of labeling anyone a racist for the rest of their lives. Using "political correctness" to flame and terrorize someone is also wrong. People have a right to be angry, but we all need to be as open-minded as we claim we are, and allow for Orb to be forgiven. I personally believe you when you say those are not your views, and it was instead immature outbursts. However, I do not want you to be ostracized by the community. I feel that if you do not make a greater effort (and soon), people will always remember you by this, which would be a tragedy. In the paragraphs that follow, I am not judging you, but instead giving advice on what might help the situation. Realistically, it is going to be difficult for you to win back certain sections of the community, and you will (and in my opinion should) have to take a big step toward proving that those are not your views, or are no longer your views. Holding an open session and talking to people might really help. Call your friends. Ask to go on State of the Game, Live on 3, etc. not you explain yourself, but instead to apologize and show the community that you will work to make amends. If you feel comfortable taking flack, you might even ask any offended viewers of those shows to send in comments or questions so that you can speak with them directly. Don't be combative, be you (your normal, nice, mature self). There is even race-issue counseling you might want to look into as it will show that you are very serious, and you are making a tremendous effort. Do anything and everything you can to show that you will not disappear. You are here to stay, and you are terribly sorry for what happened. Ask for forgiveness. If people wish to think you are a racist, let them. But show that even if you were a racist, you have changed. Racism is not ingrained. It is learned and unlearned. Show them that (even if you never meant it in the first place). You are a great caster and a pleasure to watch. I wish you the best. Beef Noodles *Unless in historical context like reading the word in books and texts (off topic, but I always make this distinction) | ||

What's that old saying about arguing or being upset at someone over the internet? All I remember is something about being retarded regardless of the outcome. Gl to orb in the future and i hope to see an epic comeback  | ||

People die every day for saying the wrong things. People take words like "ni**er" strait to the ass hole, pull a gun, and shoot you. The fact you don't see it everyday doesn't mean it doesn't happen. You're just inside all the time. | ||

People don't care about spending about 25 years in jail( Or in some cases the death penalty ), They are more worried about being racial defenders.. You said a bad word and for that you must be shot and killed. | ||

Wow, you just said absolutely nothing and gift-wrapped it with a whole lotta fake confidence, silly assumptions and pretty words, good job man. People want to see people going places get torn down, that's the only truth here. | ||

You fail to understand that he wasnt saying it in a hateful way. Its could have been replaced with any other "bad" word. You say that he should have treated it like he was looking that person in the face(in person). But if you think about that point; why would orb be raging in real life that badly? People who call black people nigger in real life may not even be racist. It depends on context really. I have black friends who call us "nigga" and some of my friends respond back to him with that saying something silly like "my nigga!". I dont do that because it just feels awkward for me. But to your point if you call the wrong person anything not even racial you can get shot by some idiot kid, so I agree with that. | ||

I think DEBO sums it up best I am inclined to agree, instead of feeding this insanity we simply ignore it in future? As a community grow, because the world is changing, always has and always will. I will always believe we are the pioneers, as apposed to conforming to the standard of now, we as a community should take it on ourselves to set the standard of tomorrow. To emphasise my point & a good place to start Stop Joseph Kony Now. If one in every 10 people who post on this forum saying they care about matters like this, should find themselves caring so much more about this they will forget what this was ever about. | ||
