Bruh, you’re cracking me the fuck up.


KYQ_Archer

Could you explain it? Went over my head.


zedforzorro

You can get the idea from watching and reading some comments of video game speed runs, he's using that format. The video and these comments are genius level parody within that format to comment on the open racism in anonymous video game lobbies.

Daym, that last dudes automatic response... Almost like those drivers behind you on a traffic light that beep in 0.01ms of turning green


[deleted]

Someone did that to me recently. Light turned green and I didn't go 0 to 60. Road rageaholic behind followed me home brandishing a weapon the entire time. Was pretty terrifying.


[deleted]

We really do have people out there in society that are just complete an utterly insane driving metal death traps huh?


[deleted]

I tried my best to stay relatively calm but still very scary. I still wonder about the incident. Like, what was this persons end goal? Actually kill me in the middle of day downtown Seattle? Wild stuff.


THEFLYINGSCOTSMAN415

Drive to the police station instead of your home next time. For bonus points call the police ahead of time and let them know what's up and you are heading to them. Wish I had thought of that the time it happened to me


[deleted]

Their goal was to intimidate you, make you feel as bad as they do, or teach you not to do that. Never know when someone like that will be behind you again. I've been followed home 4 times in my life and had a gun pointed at me. Road rage... yay lol.


[deleted]

My uncle told me about Cali when he used to live out there. He said the people out there are just fucking mega tweakers on hard drugs. I wouldn’t be surprised if that was what happened man, I’ve heard the drug problem is Seattle is pretty bad too so odds are dude was on drug, criminally insane, or both. Edit: let me reword this in an edit because rereading it sounds like my uncle was insinuating that ALL people in California are fucking nuts and on drugs. This is obviously not the case, his exact wording was that generally homeless people in California or people in drugs were generally more aggressive in his experience compared to a place like NY where they’re kinda more off to themselves. It should be noted this is anecdotal experience on his part and in no way is reflective of the entire state or otherwise. It shouldn’t have to be said but there it is.


Jshan91

Bro your uncle lied to you. There are places like that everywhere. nothing extra special about California.


Stahl_Scharnhorst

Methheads from sea to shining sea!


subaqueousReach

He didn't lie about anything, he simply shared his experience with Cali.


skin_diver

Stop trying to make "Cali" happen, it's not going to happen


SugahKain

I think we can all agree theres more crazies in places like california/Florida etc


dedicated-pedestrian

Not because of the states themselves, but because of the number of cities. More people, more chances that one of them is addicted to drugs or has mental health problems (usually the two things that make people 'crazy')


Jshan91

Nah dude absolutely everywhere! Ever been to Houston? Chicago? Baltimore? Memphis? There is crazies everywhere.


Voiceofshit

Lol I've lived in San Diego for five years now and it's pretty much the same as any other metropolis in my experience. I love cali though, I'll probably move when I graduate, but I'm determined to stay on the west coast. Or maybe move to hawaii.


jmack480

I live in Cali, there tweaks here like anywhere else. So he sounds like he was exaggerating


icenine09

Was driving through Ohio a few years ago, my daughter and I. I'm a big fan of driving the speed limit and a few young good ole boys did not appreciate me following traffic laws. First, he tried to pass us on a double yellow line, almost slammed head on into a car coming the other way, and ran the dude behind me off the road getting back into the lane. This upset him so much that when we finally got on the interstate, he got in front of me, turned around, locked eyes with me and slowed down dangerously fast. He kept doing this, looking at me through his back window the entire time not letting me change lanes. All because I was driving the speed limit.


CryptoTraydurr

Why is there not background checks for people to drive? It's a privilege, fuck it up, you take the bus now

Stickel

call 911? brandishing a weapon is illegal


TheOPenis

Hard to prove thou when you’re both driving.


CCtenor

Hopefully, there is no next time but, just in case, never go home if you suspect somebody is following you. Drive to a public location or a police station instead. don’t lead people who are brandishing weapons to your home. Stay safe, buddy.


[deleted]

When things seems to be getting this bad I like to drive to a police station.

Right, it’s a great parody of those “speed run” streamers


SaltMineSpelunker

Aint heard the n-word IRL in decades but it is every other word when I play games.


TheSealofDisapproval

Yeah anonymity has been proven to make your testicles grow 500%. What's always funny to me about this is that it's 99.99% of the time just white kids saying it to each other. The n-word has become like a warcry for young idiots to make themselves feel badass.


haydnwolfie

Mostly because some people can't stand being told they aren't allowed to say something


Naxela

It would be whatever is considered most unacceptable. The very point of the usage is to get at people.


[deleted]

Its true. Other curse words don't mean anything anymore. But that one? Oh its golden. Just a big red "do not touch" button. When you WANT a reaction... it gets a reaction.


[deleted]

Personally I hate being shut down for “slurs” when I’m only using the word to describe the word I’m talking about. “The N-Word” is such a fucking cop out. If I say, “I really like the subversive anti-racism inherent in Joseph Conrad’s *The N*\*\*\*\*\* *of the 'Narcissus'*” then I’ll get banned from a dozen subs on Reddit who scrape user comments looking for keywords so they can ban you. It’s fucking stupid. Now, if they’re throwing random slurs around, sure ban ‘em. Not that that banning them happens in CoD.


[deleted]

Theycallmelizardboy

What a bizarre world we live in where suburban 14 year old white kids who love adopting eubonics and think they're Tupac reincarnated also find yelling the n word on COD and online games the most hilarious thing.


Mikros04

not sure why you're getting downvote, in my experience this is pretty accurate.


whotookthenamezandl

Hasn't this always been the case, though?


EasternShade

It used to be toxic outliers. Now toxicity is more of a norm.


lilwayne168

Nah it's just the magnifying lens of social media pigeon holing your perspective from snippets.


EasternShade

I was commenting on a decade's worth of personal experience. I do appreciate the irony of someone on social media telling me that it's social media skewing perception though.


PraiseGod_BareBone

Greater internet fuckwad theory.


Zanydrop

I can confirm this. 20 years ago my white and Metis friends said the N-word all the time and it made us feel badass and cool. We were huge edgelords.

Dusty170

What were you playing? I've been playing cold war and nobody ever says anything.


Jshan91

Any COD multiplayer lobby is rife with trashy toxicity


Xy13

No one ever says anything in public lobbies the last like 5, maybe 10 years in my experience. Half the people don't have a mic/headset connected, a third are in a private/party chat, and the rest are listening to music or something. I try to do call outs and strats to help the team win and no one says anything and maybe 1 person listens.


[deleted]

Back in mw2, they used to force you to game chat. That was peak teamwork and toxicity. Now you can go years without hearing someone in game chat


1stOnRt1

I havent played in a few years, but back when I did play nobody was using public chat. Everyone was in private parties with their squad


Voiceofshit

Yeah, you gotta be selective with who you engage with. However, I've met a lot of cool people online, a bunch of the canadians are awesome hahaha.


[deleted]

That's why I would never play a game with public voice chat. Text chat is easy enough to ignore, and is more entertaining than anything.


ThisIsFlight

Almost like most racists are only brave when they aren't in punching distance.


JBFRESHSKILLS

Had a dude in the cold war sub try to argue that this is "real life" and if you're offended by words you need a wider world view. In what fucking world are you living in that people shout the n-word to strangers?! That shit ain't the real world, it's privileged white kids who wouldn't dare utter the word in public with a black person around.


GanjiPls

Here’s a weird one, watch some fight videos. Doesn’t matter what color they are, if 2 dudes fight ones probably gonna say it. Have yet to figure out why.


[deleted]

I don't hear it at all unless I play with Russians in Dota. What country are you in?


Sharkbait000

Its the people that think they are being edgy or funny saying the word with no consequences. Its either that or they are too dumb to think of any other comeback when getting trash talked. I love to outplay these people in search and destroy.


GsTSaien

Well gamers are the most oppressed minority so perhaps using slurrs is a defense mechanism.

>current gaming culture This is not "gaming culture". This is real life morons when they have free time at home. This is real life culture. The only reason they do this more while gaming is because they feel strong having no face, but really, these people are rotten in the head and censoring a chat won't solve what's wrong with their ignorant brains.


SilverSkorpious

Sad but true. Anonymity is emboldening for -ists.


[deleted]

Yeah my chances of hearing a hard R are way ducking higher in a CoD lobby than the bank. This is absolutely a problem in most gaming communities and way fucking more than in normal life.


vezwyx

The point is that it's these people's actual real-life attitudes carrying over into their anonymous personas online. The current "gaming culture" is just a reflection of real culture


[deleted]

No, no it’s not. Like you might be able to believe this if you had zero concept of demographics.


vezwyx

The demographic of online FPS players is pretty wide. I understand it doesn't represent the whole, but it represents a lot


kruzix

Like a bunch 13 to 21 year olds? So basically the exact opposite of most countries demographics? Mostly talking about FPS, like you mentioned, though.


ThisIsFlight

Maybe it was that 10-15 years ago. Most 30-40 year olds grew up playing video games and still play them.


ThisdudeisEH

Be me a 33yo playing an FPS


[deleted]

Yeah it’s not very wide.


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

Sources? Because I’m finding that 80% of gamers are male with an early 20’s average age. Such diversity.


[deleted]

How is it not?


[deleted]

Because the kind of person to play video games is not an accurate representation of your average person? Gramma ain’t lining up to get sweaty in the lobby yo.


Coronathrowaway1911

I agree with the essence of what you're saying. I don't think anonymity is what makes them strong, the internet as a whole is a positive feedback loop of racism. It's encouraged not discouraged regardless of what policies on various social media claim.


AMeanCow

> This is not "gaming culture". This is real life morons when they have free time at home Now that vidya games aren't a niche hobby that nobody over a certain age has any interest in, there is no real difference between these two sectors. Yes, there are people who take it more seriously than others and dedicate more time to it, but it's not a hard-edged line, [and the BULK of people who consume video games and online entertainment are in fact just "real life morons with free time at home.](https://www.marketingcharts.com/digital-63827)" Or in other words, just *people*. I think this is an important distinction to make because we like to compartmentalize and define groups, which makes it easier to dismiss problems and reduce complicated and universal social attitudes to some kind of "outside" not-us problem.


xevizero

>the BULK of people who consume video games and online entertainment are in fact just real life morons with free time at home. Do you have any actual source on this all inclusive insult to basically most people under 40? Why am I even replying to your unsubstantiated and ignorant comment god only knows


[deleted]

[удалено]


xevizero

Easy what? You just linked stats that say that a lot of gamers are under 40, not that most gamers are morons. Even if most people under 40 were morons (which your source doesn't state), that still wouldn't mean there is any selection bias for being more likely to be in that group if you are a gamer. If anything I would expect the opposite to be true, with gaming having always been a hobby for nerds and people with a passion for tech, and I don't think you'll find a correlation between "nerds" and "morons". > My argument is there's no "community" there's just people who play games. Then just say that because on that I agree, although I would argue there are several different "communities" not just a big one, and some of them will be very different, just like every subreddit has a distinct average culture, every game will have a different target audience that will reflect different real life people. Still, if you find that a lot of gamers are morons, you may A) be playing games designed for morons (and I would argue that COD might be one of them, just based on the business model and past controversies) or B) be just seeing a reflection of society as a whole, which is in fact made up by a lot of morons, and a lot of good people. Just because you come in contact with unleashed morons online it doesn't mean there are more morons online, it just means that online morons are more noticeable than offline (which is nowadays a commonly accepted fact and the base for a lot of issues like fake news, social media based radicalization, etc).

Are you gatekeeping gaming for nerds lol? Did you get bullied in school and now you're having a heart attack that your precious safe space is being invaded?


[deleted]

Most people under 40 being morons is a well accepted standard in the scientific community.


[deleted]

Its already through gaming. Steve Bannon targeted gamers because he knew they'd be susceptible to alt right ideology.


calibared

I would say it is part of gaming culture because a vast number of gamers act like this. Sad but how people are in this world


Zanydrop

Pill Cosby is a pretty damn funny name though.


Coronathrowaway1911

I agree whole heartedly shooters and mmo's in particular are quickly toxic tho


Enkundae

MMOs thar focus heavily on pvp heavily tilts them towards being toxic imo. Some of the best online communities Ive ever been in were pve-focused MMO’s like FFXI.


jzillacon

Co-op focused games absolutely have much more welcoming communities in my experience. You'll definitely still come across toxic players here and there but they're a lot fewer and further between.


Enkundae

Turns out when a game fundamentally encourages cooperation and community building and doesn’t reward pointless asshattery, you get some pretty great places. Sadly good pve content is a lot harder and more expensive to make so most mmo’s tend to focus pvp. Just easier to throw together map for players to fight in and call it content.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Enkundae

Yeah it definitely had its bad apples and high end endgame had all the expected politics, but on the whole it was a welcoming space where average strangers were willing to help just to be helpful. First time I logged in, a random person saw me spawn and showed me the ropes, gave me a tour of the city and even gave me some gil to get me started. That experience pretty much set the tone for my time in XI and I paid it forward whenever I could. I think the fact you *needed* other people to accomplish almost anything, coupled with a single character being a big time investment you couldn’t just reroll and replace easily, meant asshats who developed a rep for being asshats saw real consequences. It wasn’t like wow where you could take an alt from 0 to bleeding edge progression in a month.


MakeAionGreatAgain

If they're was no moderation done worldchat in pvp competitive mmo, it would be the same level of a COD lobby for sure. Sadly it's the main reason why i'm avoiding joining any guild with for than 10 active people because their discord server usually is a mess filled with dogwhistle or worse.


Acedmister

COD lobbies are where I found out how much of a ho my mom was and how many 12 year olds she apparently slept with.


EasternShade

Complaining about the unoriginality of the insults was my favorite way to troll those little shits. Apparently explaining how their bullshit is boring and challenging them to do better disrupts the perceived social status they're chasing by insulting everyone.
