I am becoming bad person because of anger I feel for double standards... "Engage fully and absolutely political correctness because of N word... but hey, lets laugh when our favorite streamers use words like "fag" "ma nigga" "retard" in matches streamed to thousands of people... etc" - that is how I see all of you two-faced whiners. What's next? Orb 2012 youtube spam? God almighty... P.S. I am not Orb's fanboi or something, barely knew about him before he got EG job - I do like his casting tho. | ||

Rush can say whatever stupid shit he wants and nobody cares because that's just what he does. If you're asking Orb to give a fake, forced apology for the sake of appearances, why even bother? I would find it hard to give a forced fake apology about what he did, not so much from the racial remarks as from the lies. The lies are what dug the hole. We want an apology, forced or not. He can at least put some effort into showing that he cares about his job and position with EG. If he doesn't care enough to at least ask for forgiveness in whatever manner he wants, then he probably doesn't care about his reputation either. | ||

I'd understand if it were this way back during slavery when there were actually blacks who were slaves but this doesn't exist in today's age. I really think people need to just calm down and relax and don't take life so seriously. Chill. You should know that the n-word came into prominence in the year's after slavery. So it's tied to institutionalized racism (Blacks didn't even get equal rights 'on paper' until the 60s) more so than slavery. Blacks also never stopped being the minority in the US; nor discriminated against, as the Harvard resume study proved (and that was released 2011 I believe). So saying Black people need to be like White people and shrug off derogatory slurs is pretty ignorant. | ||

You really want a caster to use racist words when watching at a Barcraft? Would end that bar's support of the event pretty damn quick. I'm sorry, did Orb say these things while he was casting? No he didn't. | ||

Everyone who wants to insult germans just calls them Nazis. As a matter of fact its a lot more annoying than it is insulting. Don't think that many germans really feel offended by being called Nazis. What bothers me the most about online nazi flames is actually the neverending capslock spam. You could spam me with any random word to accomplish that though. | ||

Dear Orb, You deserve to be fired. This isn't childs' play. If anyone wants e-sports to EVER be taken serious, then this type of stuff (and the slayers_jessica) stuff cannot happen! Sincerely, ranshaked | ||

Replace "german" with "black guy" and "nazi" with "nigger" and this is still true. Nobody actually cares about what people say online. | ||
