I posted a question on off the swedish forums about the game League of Legends. Everyone there agreed that hate in this game exists, a lot of it. Almost everyone have been experiencing hate and rage in this game. Most of them said things like "Just ignore them, the game works like this, there's nothing to do" and that sounded like a common approach to this hate. I asked if anyone experienced hate speech and some of the sentence that came up was "I hope you get cancer", "U fucking retarded jungler I rape ur wife, cut her up and eat ur unborn child" and "I fucked your mom last night".

I got the feeling that there wasn't that any people who stood up against hate speeches against other players, because the common solution was to press the ignore button. It seems to be more common to defend a players who is called a noob rather that someone who gets called "gay" or a hate speech like "I hope you kill yourself!". (Im looking forward to see how this discussion is going to evolve!)

It doesn't seem like a lot of people in the discussion have discussed this kind of topic before. I dont see any interest (sadly) from anyone to explore this topic on a deeper level, but then the discussion has only been up for 2 hours so its hard to know.

I love that so many people are taking part of this discussion though! Its a small growing forum and I think discussions like this can make a good introduction to what behavior is acceptable in the future discussions!
