I totally understand people wanting to opt in to this, but what I don't understand is how people can downplay some of the verbal abuse in this community as if it's no big deal. Like seriously have you seen some of this stuff?Dude you're acting like these people are waking you up in the middle of the night with their hollering calling you and your mother worthless freeloading pieces of shit. Its CoD speak brah, and the internet. Your acting like their words are actually offending you is a 1st world problem. If you actually gave a shit about verbal abuse you'd be working with at risk children not playing a stupid fucking video game. The real problem here is affluent white children playing video games feeling their entitled some sense of political correctness.
Now Ive read my post 4 times already. Where am I illogical? Am I missing a comma or added one too many?
Im saying E-sports will never be accepted until such times that the Gamer community grows up. I know what to expect of the interwebs, I live and work here. When you see something you don't like do you shrug and say "Hey thats life" and grin and bear it or should you try to change it?
I guess its either a sense of entitlement or unrealistic expectation that I was trying to point out in your last post that you seem oblivious to. You are correct, if there is something wrong or something that could be done better -- IN MY OPINION -- you should change it, do it better. That however, is not a universal feeling. In the sense of the internet, I feel that it is perfect as it is. I would go as far as to say that the people who agree with me -- that the rage, hatespeak, and trash talking are a part of video games -- vastly outnumber people like you. People like you being people who want either sportsmanship or a more "friendly" community.
Now we're getting into semantics as to whether the majority make something correct but I think that's bullshit. The simple fact is you should be able to say whatever you want so long as you aren't actually threatening somebody. I mean I can say I'm going to fuck your mom until she explodes but my ability to actually find her and do that are slim to none, so there's nothing really to worry about.
