One bad gamer after another...

Lately i've come across some really distasteful characters, and not one of them has said, "I'm sorry". This is a huge problem in society, which leaves some mentally scarred, or worse. This is my experience with one such person:

I wanted to play some BF, and relax with a few rounds of multiplayer. I'm about half way done when i hear this guy say something about me being a retarded kid, mind you i usually ignore these kinds of trash talk, but today i was stressed. I had completed several requests for mane six drawings, and i need this to relieve the stress. in my fifth match, i hear the words: "Go kill yourself, the world would be better without you." This just made me stop, how could someone be so damn heartless? I never did anything to deserve that, maybe he found out i was a brony or something? I'm not sure.

That right there just crossed the line for me, so here's what i said:

"fun fact: if you tell someone to kill themselves, it’s considered encouraging suicide, and you can get a fine of $25,000 and 10+ years in prison. if they actually commit you can be charged with manslaughter. so really it’s in your best interest not to be a total ass."

He never spoke to me again.

I know exactly what you mean, though thats the reason i just mute everyone :razz: You did the right thing responding like that, iv made the mistake of starting a odd 10 message long fight with some ass who started getting made at me for 'hacking'. I don't hack, i just know how to use a chimcom in Black ops 2, and can make it shoot faster then any other gun. He accussed me of hacking with a modded controller, and he said i had one. Oh, and he also confessed to using one... I couldn't stop laughing :D

 

Ahem, yeah, good job dealing with that! No one deserves to be told to kill themselves, no one deserves that kind of abuse over game chat while your trying to have fun!

I'm not, and have never been, a fan of trash talk. And I love the fact you told this person off, because it might make them think twice about being quite as rude while playing a game. No one needs to hear you lash out, and obviously it's not working as a psych tactic while gaming. I've also had enough problems with depression to really not appreciate getting a sudden push.

On the other hand, I highly doubt it was personal, and trash talk is a semi-accepted practice in some circles. It could just be how some people's brains work. I often curse a blue streak while playing games and getting frustrated, more so in FPS. I just don't share over voice chat.

Not condoning their actions, just food for thought.
