I feel like if she used one of those, which are designed primarily to help disabled players enjoy gaming, it would be a bit more controversial.

“I never use the N word unless I’m very angry.”

The problem is that the more this kind of toxic hateful shit gets normalized the more people think it’s okay. A woman should not have to expect to be called a “bitch” when she’s playing an online game any more than she should expect it walking down the street.

“is just making me feel icky.”

I don’t know why anyone should cut him any slack. It’s his schtick, and no amount of “it was a bad day” can change that fact. If you started yelling shit like this dude in almost any business establishment someone would eventually ask you to leave. Why gamers think a digital version of that is any different is -…

That’s not sarcasm, that’s cheek, which is infinitely better. Good trash talk is like a good roast. You draw attention to flaws (which everyone has) in a clever way but never demean the person.

This fucker deserved it. Did you listen to the rant?

“this makes me feel icky”

Threatened to rape a woman and a pattern of misogyny. I’m perfectly okay with him finding another line of work.

This excuse of having a bad day is bullshit. I’m sorry. I’ve had absolutely rotten days. I’ve insulted people when they piss me off. Not once have I ever thought to use sexist or racist insults to hurt them. I’m sorry, if you scream that a “female is talking to you” and tell her to do the dishes, then you’re a sexist.…

Sir, you're in the public square.

you think people deserve a public forum to spout bad shit?

“the public square”

The extremely key distinction here.  Come on.

I'm sorry I've had bad days and gotten pretty salty playing games before. Even kicked over my xbox once and ruined my cod disc. But I've never used misogyny or racism when trash talking. I just use sarcasm. Like asking annoying campers where they bought their camping gear. 

it’s so fascinating watching white folk talk about war like the op just because it feels closer to home, while us middle easterners have been the poster boys of terrorists and wars for as long as i can remember :(

Fuck Putin, my dude, I’m just pointing out that we have our own radiological disaster we don’t talk about. Knowing that, it’s entirely believable that Russians aren’t taught what happened in Chernobyl.

From 1957 to 1964, the Santa Susanna Field Laboratory in northern Los Angeles operated an experimental nuclear reactor…

As per BBC reporting, the Russian soldiers that took over Chernobyl drove their tanks thru the Red Forest kicking up radioactive dirt in the process. Soldiers never wore protective suits and had no clue why Chernobyl was in the state it was in. Soldiers also began digging trenches around the nuclear plant. The reason…

They handled it way better than the ncaa would have

Yeah. It actually to me seemed like such a fair punishment. Rather than permabanning collateral people who there is no evidence of cheating, but still cleaning up the tournament proceedings for the rest of the season so that trust is restored to the competition.
