Why so much in-game racism?

.w. he looks like he went into Kane Pixels's Backrooms to film it, it's honestly a little unsettling

Haha he even has a few videos filmed in his closet xDDDDD

Maybe because when you've actually experienced it yourself in-game, and the community basically told you to ignore it or that you're lying, it's actually disconcerning.

So yes. I at least do take this topic somewhat seriously. Because it does happen and when it does, you guys don't want to admit that it does.

You don't show any support whatsoever.

Legit, the last time I brought it up to absolute strangers, I got told "you should take a break from the game".

Or, you know, the time when I said people are calling players of specific races "Pedophiles" and "Zoophiles" with no consequence in-game, I got told it was comparable to being told "All Miqo'te look the same" and to ignore it like they do.

Past that I just meme

Have you really though? Are you a trained professional? Individuals with ASPD are not as common as TikTok likes to make it out to be. For the most part they are just genuine assholes. Making that assumption is just as dangerous as falling into stereotypes.

Considering I *dated* said people and have been involved in their mental health, yeah I'd think I'd know.

Appreciate your concern but you also have no idea what I'm referring to in terms of that specific aspect considering that's my personal life and we don't know each other.

Oh wait, it's Bobby...why am I even explaining myself

Everyone knows Lalafell are the master race, everyone else is merely tolerated in their game.

What do you mean there are jerks on the internet?! Does anyone else know about this?!
At this point you are just cherrypicking examples and using broad strokes. Perhaps this bothers you because there are parts of it that ring true? Then again, i'm not you so I wouldn't know why being called a dirty ____ would upset you that much. They are just words. On a game where you can block people. They are words from jerks that you can block. It's hard to see the issue, lol.

One thing is people being jerks. Another thing is the fact that when it happens, and when people point out that it's not okay, the reaction people have is "it didn't happen to me, therefore it didn't happen". And then start comparing it to stuff that is absolutely uncomparable.

And when you're excluded from stuff due to those comments, it's even worse.

What the actual hell is wrong with you? Jesus...

Do you honestly think that just because I'm playing this race, I'm into having sex with animals??? And what "cherrypicking"? Oh I'm sorry, I didn't know MY ACTUAL EXPERIENCES IN-GAME were suddenly just cherrypicking.

If your point was to show that you're just as bad as those people and that everyone should ignore you, then bravo. What you said was just stupid.

"Then again, i'm not you so I wouldn't know why insults bother you in an online game" Thanks for cutting that part from the quote, CNN/Fox news would be proud~!
Again, you can ignore them. Why are you acting so defensive about this? Also, thanks for assuming that I think you are a furry. I honestly don't know and I wouldn't care. Different strokes for different folks and all that.

"I didn't know my experiences in game were suddenly just experiences." Yes, things you experience are experiences. Circular logic like this is why I took a break from this cesspit and coming back feels like a mistake. Oh well, it's not like this is suddenly new in MMO forums when they become "popular".
