The complaint is that esports players don’t act like 7 year olds the way MMA fighters do? I mean, guys, this complaint makes you all look like idiots. Like you’re watching a fight, and to enjoy it more, you need some fake rivalry/beef. Look at McGregor/Mayweather, one of the greatest boxers that ever lived vs. an…

But even golfers will show excitement when they pull of a big shot or great putt or something. I watched TI7 and when Liquid won there were like a handful of hugs and a few high fives and that was it.

That is the type of statement I would expect from Trump.

I think I saw this guy on a 60 Minutes segment back in the fall (it comes on after football, man, get off my nuts!). They were doing a deep dig on social media influencers and how people like this guy rake in money by being popular on Vine and Instagram. He’s basically a slightly less obnoxious Kardashian with an…

“Honestly, yeah it’s terrible,” Paul said about his neighbors’ complaints. “It’s a bad situation. No, I feel bad for them, for sure. There’s nothing we can do, though. The Jake Paulers [Paul’s fans] are the strongest army out there. Dab.” And then he dabbed.

Two racists, one also a woman beater, and also a homophobe.

Shit, that was Rocky II.

They haven’t worked out the answer to that question in relation to the president of the United States - they’re hardly going to figure it out now for these two shitheads throwing hands.

Jesus. The replies to your comment are proving your point for you. I’ve played video games for the better of my 30 years, but I will never understand the victimhood and ignorant culture of guys that play video games regarding feminism. It’s so weird that a few years ago the entire anti-feminist movement was…

There is an obvious, qualitative difference between picking Ana when your team already has a Hanzo and a Widowmaker and saying “What we need is another man.”

And I think it’s worth pointing out that in your example that you give, you get to go on with your day after that interaction. The ‘target’ more likely than not experienced the exact same type of bullshit every. time. they try to play. Having to live in that shit is exhausting, and should not be acceptable whatsoever.

“Don’t let it get to you” is belittling in the context of telling a woman gamer to not mind gender specific harassment because

I like how you’re so preoccupied with identifying the correct label for this or that argument (MANIPULATIVE SHAMING VIRTUE DEFLECTION & Knuckles) that you completely miss the fact that we’re talking about real human beings being harassed and you’re defending that behavior because you don’t want to bother helping other…

No, this is like saying you were in one of the cars, survived the crash unhurt, and then got out and ran away instead of helping any of the other people in the car who were hurt.

“I’m not here to victim blame, but I’m gonna do it regardless. Anyway here’s Wonderwall.”

Nice piece of victim blaming there, CARBOMB.

No, accusing someone who is asking you for help with regards to a very real and very serious problem that has been allowed to continue far longer then if ever should have, (because it never should have) of being “socially fascist” and a bully is deflecting.

Meanwhile saying nothing also encourages it. I mean if someone is making sexist or raciat jokes at your expense is your idea to just lie down and take it hoping that they either eventually get bored or realize the error of their ways on their own since we are apparently supposed to be afraid of speaking up for fear…

A lot of commenters have suggested that in previous articles. A thick skin is necessary for online gaming, don’t get me wrong, but these commenters fail to understand that harassment in games is a reflection of a real-life culture that pays women less in the workplace, resists healthcare coverage of birth control (but…

Guys, don’t be
