"Everyone's so open and friendly" is a lie

[KizuyaKatogami]

I have no clue what people "don't belong in the gaming world." What is a "normal" type?

Gaming is literally for everyone.

The idea that we should just put up with people verbally harassing others because "gaming is their safe space" is absolute nonsense.



Let's not pretend they were talking about casual conversation with some salty language. Everyone I know swears all the time, but there's a major difference when you aim it at people like a weapon. They specifically said they were cussing at people who were "frustrating" them because they were "throwing a pvp match."

Like let's be real for a second.

Yes they swore at people who were afk in a pvp match. That’s pretty warranted. I understand for some in this community getting sworn at can just be the absolute worst thing in the world and it may make you have a breakdown but for most that isn’t the reality. People swear at other people. That’s a reality, it’s the world we live in, it’s called being human and having emotions. At the end of the day, it’s literally words on a virtual screen. If someone takes heavy offense to words in a virtual game then i genuinely feel bad and hope they get well soon. I can’t imagine living a life where every little thing is seen as a personal attack or weapon.

They never said they were afk.

It's really interesting me that you can see how it's just "words on a screen" when someone is verbally harassing others and that anyone who doesn't like it is just soft, but you can't use the same train of thought to understand that it's "just a game" in the first place and maybe you shouldn't be so in your feelings about it that you have to take it out on other people.
