      reddit doesn't censor anything. we used to have a bot that collected slur statistics on users so any time a bigot showed up on r/chapotraphouse and started saying their shitty opinions, instead of just arguing with them we would summon nwordcount bot and it would be like "this user has said the n word 9034293423094230942034 times" and then we would just post ppb at them and tell them to stfu/gtfo.

    this guy is probably 100% dogshit at pvp games and uses toxic "bonding" to mask his skill level. i would know, i used to do it lmao.

    unfortunately, when you try so hard about not caring about other people's feelings and you join a group with that very tenet, you'll burned just as fast as it took you to type that slur. your worth is only as good as how long the racists will tolerate you, often it lines up with your ELO dropping or being stagnate.

    keep holding that ideal mr g*mer, i'm sure your misery is not your fault, you just want MW2 lobbies again!! how could anyone be mad at you for dropping a little slur here and there? you're just trying to bond!!

    having been a tf2 player and a wow player for going on two decades, i can kind of understand where they're coming from with the "toxicity makes it fun" idea; blowing shit up, teleporting people off of cliffs, owning someone so hard they quit, rude emotes, etc is part of the fun to a lot of people - like, some of the things i've heard that you can get done for in some more recent games (like "bming"?) does seem excessive, trolling has always been part of the experience, but there are a million ways to fuck around with people that don't involving being a racist prick. Theres a massive difference between healing the opposite team or tea bagging vs just doing the laziest possible thing and calling people slurs.

        Hell yeah I remember those Jedi Knight servers, they were great. We have very much moved from a system where people choose their communities and environments to just having a 'monoculture' for all games and websites everywhere, and it does hamper a lot of previously fun aspects of internet interactions.

    How does a person even get to a point in their life where they have opinions like this and share them as if they’re completely normal

    ah you see, yelling slurs "united us" because "we" weren't the target of those slurs. A bunch of white straight guys calling each other N-F every two seconds aren't offended so it was all in good taste! "We" were "united" by pushing away everyone who wasn't "us". And that's a good thing! And now that we don't have the ability to drive away people who aren't "us" it's a bad thing! It makes us soft to not be able to keep our lobby nice and white and straight! It makes us soft to be forced to play with the target of our hate!

    Imagine saying any of this with zero self awareness.

    "Toxicity is good, actually."

    There are hundreds of videos mocking annoying 12 year olds on xbox live. If it was such a time-honored tradition, why are people mocking it?
