    This is going to spark a whole new generation of trash talk entirely unrecognizable to the average non gamer…

      Comically, I am less interested. And I’m not a trash talker, I never even use voip.

      The toxicity was part of the product. You are literally competing to KILL each other, you should be able to say rude things while you do it.

      Simulated murder is worse than digital raging.

      Obviously real world threats, doxxing, etc is very different.

        I’ve played toxic shooters my whole life. There’s “clutch or kick” which is fine, but then there’s prepubescent jackasses yelling the N-Word which is just cringe toxicity

          The whole game is cringe, you’re a Dwight shrute dream running around johnwicking everyone. It’s like walking into a portopotty and complaining it smells like shit

          That said, there’s never a good reason to use the n word

        Yeah, it’s the fun of it

        Last night someone called me dumb, i said no you and he went off calling me a fag and such. Most fun I’ve had in months

          That legitimately sounds really fun. And it’s exactly what made it fun in the mid 00s

        Idk, raging is kinda funny. Raging about snipers is funny, raging about anything in-game is funny and acceptable. But often it’s just people trying to trigger you and just yelling the n-word and telling you to kill yourself and shit like that is just not something i care about. I’m not offended, it’s just that i don’t want to spend time with people like that.
