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

    You’re not too sensitive. Gamers are incredibly reactionary and offensive and it’s gotten worse I think. You always had “edgy” guys saying basic misogynistic things and racist things but now they have influencers and streamers giving them this whole racist, misogynistic logic and rationale for it.

      Glad to have the validation, thank you.

      What sparked this post was a guy last night in game chat of a CSGO game literally typing hard r n-word, along with (there was a guy with an accent in the game - not sure exactly where from) “oh Jesus, another foreigner”

      Maybe it’s gotten worse, maybe we just notice it more because we aren’t that and have grown up past that
