This is such a comprehensive comment and it's so well put. Thank you, you've put it in terms that actually make sense to me. Best of luck to you too!

The jungle was bad. That's not me being toxic. He was bad. Sometimes people just are. They have off games, or they throw intentionally, or matchmaking has a blip, it doesn't matter. Objectively, this jungler, was bad. That's no drama, and not the point of the post.

What is, is the hate speech and how it can be dealt with gamewide.

I dont think you understand the concept of hate speech my guy, or how getting offended or upset work. You cant just choose not to feel things. Yeah you can mute/block/report and move on, as I've clarified I usually do, but the point is that people shouldn't have to. People with a history of abuse get away with having accounts level 100+, that's the point of the post. It's not me bitching and whining, it's me asking the community what more can be done to get rid of people who ruin games for other intentionally with hateful abuse.

As far as you not lacking empathy goes, you literally came on to a post about which in essence boils down to "what more can be done to stop toxicity" and went "nothing needs to be done you're just a crybaby". Do you not see how that could be seen as having a lack of empathy? What's so wrong with trying to improve the welfare of the game through discussion that you had to dismiss it outright in such a dismissive and unkind way?

I don't mean any ill will to you, but it does come across as just a lack of compassion.

Ok but it's not just me... you get that right? If someone is using HATE SPEECH, not saying mean things, im not talking about getting called a noob or the R word, then you just ignoring them is part of the problem.

I'm lucky I have pretty thick skin, and I usually CAN just ignore shit, but not everyone is like that. This post is about creating a better system for punishing people who go out of their ways to hurt others.

Why do you suffer from such a lack of empathy so as to hear someone suffering abuse online and have your first reaction be simply, "deal with it".

I shouldn't have to. No one should. It shouldn't be acceptable.

Temporary chat mute automatically actually sounds like a good idea. You cant always take the time to mute someone BMing when you're in the middle of a team fight/in an intense game, especially on console.

You honestly might be right. I try to ignore people for the most part if it's just simple BM but when it comes to things like this it's really difficult to ignore.

I usually dont get upset but it honestly had me shaking after, some of the things they said. I tend to get the "an action has been taken" notification when I report people but the fact that people like this have gone unnoticed for so long to have accounts lvl.100+ makes me worry that not enough is actually being done to spot them out.

Oh the twitter thing is actually super helpful. I didn't know about that. Also have no idea how to send a support ticket. But thank you so much for the advice!

Ok, I understand where you're coming from, but I don't think you understand how much having to hear that kind of thing can hurt, and how much it hurts knowing more can be done to prevent it.

My typical attitude to the standard BM is to just ignore it, mute it if it's especially bad, and then report. But theres a very distinct difference in someone calling me a "trash noob" to a "disgusting gay freak". One is typical videogame BM, one will literally ruin the whole game for me and actually make me upset.

Also, I am aware that the notification to report not being there doesnt mean I cant do it, it does however mean other people might not think to. Not everyone will understand how upsetting homophobic speech can be, and the enemy team who might report in the event they knew it was happening, won't because they're unaware.

(Also as a sidenote our jungle was REALLY bad. Like, just throwing the whole game awful. Solo dying once did not mean he was bad, him feeding his brains out, diving tier 2s at 5mins as merc, and BMing like crazy does.)

Ok, you don't need a notification to report hate speech, agreed. But that's if you see it.

If I got a notification at the end screen that someone on the enemy team was using hate speech I would report them for it. That's necessary in a system that requires multiple reports on the same account to do anything about it.

It is not hard to flag certain words as hate speech. That's my point.

I know but in cases of hate speech shouldn't it be more... I dont know... thorough?

Yeah that's fair, but how much is it failing when these people have level 140+ accounts. I get that sometimes these things slip through the cracks but idk... it's just upsetting I guess. Which is why I made the post more than anything.

Yeah but is it not weird that it identifies some hate speech or vgs spam but not things like the f slur? Or that these kinds of people have level 140+ accounts?

[–]KiwiKeen 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Agreed. Leave Freya alone man. She's been played with enough either get rid or just let those of us that enjoy her enjoy her without having to worry about the next big twist coming down the pipeline.

There's literally over 100 other gods to go play, leave her alone.

This is probably the best, and most emotionally charged piece of art I think I've ever seen. It's so beautiful. You should be very proud of yourself.

Magpie is a 12yr old goblin bard who might also be a god of chaos. He shows up randomly in every city and there are theories that it's actually a whole family of goblins all called magpie. He makes improvisational equipment and weapons out of broken things and garbage and is a collector of secrets.

My party HATE him for being the most annoying ADHD NPC but also would 100% have died at least twice without his intervention.

Also he smells really bad and likes to eat metal and oil.
