Seriously, I cannot believe the amount of racist, sexist, and overall just shitty things that are said. I just played an FPS for the first time in a while (CSGO) and Jesus christ.

Just makes it not fun lol. Maybe I’m too sensitive

  • and guess why i only stick to singleplayers and co-op/friends-only multiplayers, if i absolutely must play a multiplayer game

    and i wouldn’t call being disgusted by chauvinistic nonsense as “being too sensitive”; as it only reinforces chauvinistic viewpoints. it only makes sense for someone who doesn’t like chauvinism or have viewpoints like “maybe we shouldn’t treat each other differently based on our race/gender” or “maybe they deserve rights too” to not like chauvinistic remarks, even if made “as a joke”.

    i bet you 9/10 times they’d be the ones to freak out hard if you as much as poke fun or make a joke about them, the average gamer.

      Makes sense to me. I love multi-player, but its getting harder to enjoy ever since I grew up a bit and started recognizing how disgusting some of these people can be.

      I wonder how this is handled in other cou tries that aren’t obsessed with hate freeze peach

      • i feel like you can still enjoy multiplayer if you’re playing with people you know; as opposed to just strangers. you can’t tell if they’d be horrible people or the nicest people you’ll ever meet in a game, but with friends there’s at least some clarity.

        as for how other countries handle this, somehow i feel like even in countries like the PRC it would be no different; what with a chinese comrade saying how fascist/hateful nonsense gets passed around on the chinese internet liberally (pun intended)
