I received racist harassment playing Dota 2. What's new, right? I started the game by writing "Hola amigos" on the /all chat. I had good responses. I was happy. A racist free game. Lol, bitch, no. Later on I wasn't playing my best, to be honest. But I didn't deserve to be called all types of racist insults through text and voice chat. 3 out of 5 of my teammates were just HEAVILY racist. They went nuts. We won btw. We weren't even losing. But they decided to voice their frustrations towards me with hate speech.
You probably think I'm being a crybaby but I'm really, really tired of this shit. This is the worst experienced I've had playing videogames so far. My heart was palpitating so fast.
Looking through one of the racist's steam profile, checked his comments, then a phone number that was posted there, etc., and finally got his facebook.
This guy is white, didn't end high school, has 6 kids from what it seems different mothers, all of them look mixed raced, and around 50% of his facebook friends are hispanic.
Basically I think he has a miserable life and gets a boost from being a racist playing videogames. Now that I know a bit about him, a lot of his insults seemed like insults to himself. I feel a little bit sorry for him. But this doesn't excuses his harrasment.
I don't know what to do.
I really should just move on with my life. I don't want to scare him or threaten him but I feel like I do have to do something. Maybe talk to him, but I don't want to risk my identity. I think this racist shit is getting way out of control on Dota 2. It's not even funny anymore.
What do you suggest?
Mason White
get over it or stop playing assfaggots
Hudson Cruz
Kill yourself you fucking spic, it's your own fault for having the need to announce to the world you're a worthless wetback
Sebastian Anderson
Why do I have to get over it? Give me a good reason.
Oh, I guess I also hit close to home with my analysis, right? It's sad. Racism is truly sad.
Hunter Johnson
Why the fuck would you tell Sup Forums about it? You know full well what will happen, right?
Jeremiah Reyes
Not really, what is going to happen? I'll receive more racism?
I thought people would be actually empathetic. Yep, I have hopes. Also I share it here because I think this problem is way out of control and concerns gamers.
James Sullivan
>beavers come and ruin every single southwestern state >have the nerve to get mad because somebody called them a name :( Get over you grumpy dumpies and grow some juevos, hombre.
Jaxon Lopez
Believe it or not I'm also Mexican, the only difference is I'm not a retard who spams "ajajajjajajajaj :v :v" all over the chat and gets upset when people say meaningless things over a videogame
Josiah Hill
>Why do I have to get over it? Give me a good reason. because you're playing a game with one of the worst communities around. Dota 2 players are fucking garbage cans.
Aaron Fisher
faggot
Isaiah Richardson
>comes to complain about racism on a website that is shared with Sup Forums >thinks Sup Forums will ever be empathetic about race or gender issues Go to NeoGaf or something, where people can give hugs and pats on the ass, cause you ain't gonna find it here.
Julian Turner
If you knew about your own country's history, you would know that the south of America used to be Mexico (Nueva EspaƱa). Most hispanic people that you see in the south didn't cross the border. The border crossed them.
I didn't just get called *a* name. I can take that. It was constant voice chat harassment the whole game. Without no fucking reason.
Austin Harris
>not greeting everyone like a pirate >greeting anyone at all >not just bringing your own friends
Gavin Barnes
Then leave you little homo, don't just sit there and get rammed up your ass. Also, your country is never getting its gold back.
Luis Cooper
I didn't do any of those things. I'm aware of the peruvian dota stereotype. I don't think it's fair I receive such hate spech just because I wrote "hola amigos", that's just lame. If people get triggered by that I think they're the real problem. Also, the enemy team had a few latinos that responded to the salute. We moved on. I spoke in english the rest of the game.
Hunter Martin
>triggered ASSFAGGOTs-playing spics now infest Sup Forums
Luke Jackson
>Polygon-tier writing >Whining about something this petty >Admitting to being a beaner on a Somalian claymation board Holy fuck is this all it takes to bait Sup Forums nowadays?
Colton Butler
Uhhhh, he didn't get to bring friends spainposting
Caleb Clark
Didn't ask for gold. We didn't want it back. History is history. I'm just stating actual facts about Mexico and the USA.
Mason Gray
he looks like a fucking anime villain. I hope he went into organized crime.
Christian Miller
Someone's a dick in Dota, so you decide to E-stalk him and peek around in his private life, then make a broad judgement about him that favors an unfolding of events that makes you into a saint and him a helpless, misguided fool. Remind us who we are supposed to be rooting for?
Ethan Jackson
You sound really smart.
Dominic Watson
Someone harassed me in Dota. Yeah, a friend and I stalked him, don't act like any of you haven't done that. Now because a mexican did it it's sudendly bad? I'm not doing anything wrong to him. I didn't post his name or anything so why would you make it seem like I'm the villain here? Just asking for an opinion.
Eli Ward
>oh no got bullied online >well i guess i better go on an anomalous thai ladyboy appreciation forum that's notorious for hate of everything and everyone and channel my frustrations there
I bet you got bullied in school and got called a bean boy, then when you went to tell the teacher she gave you a can of beans.
Luke Cooper
The game has language options, pick the one you are going to use. Not one you might understand half of, or that you can get by with, but the one with which you can communicate complex ideas easily and quickly. Unless you are translator tier or better, pick just the one.
You joined a game where your team didn't choose "Spanish" and went with it anyway. Spic fuck. They should show preferred languages of teammates with flags, but its still on you for not asking
Cameron Thomas
What the fuck sort of reply is that? If you want to insult someone come up with something that isn't some dainty passive aggressive shit you'd see back on NeoFag. Nobody's going to come get you, Pablo
Sebastian Sullivan
Not really. I'm just sick of this phenomenon.
And btw I wasn't aware of the context of this forum. I mean, I've talked about other issues like this on /random and we actually had a thoughtful conversation. I thought it was more appropiate to post this here, but I might post it there too.
Joshua Russell
>forum >/random Fuck off spic fuck, you don't belong here either.
Christian Perry
There's no language option. I spoke in English the whole game. Don't act like you don't know what "hola amigos" means. If you get triggered just by that sentence you might have problems, buddy.
William Myers
>all of a sudden Don't you pull that shit, spic, it's always shitty to do. And don't assume what actual functioning adults do when they are insulted online, because stalking the guy who said it is not something anybody with any shred of sense would do.
Aiden Sullivan
Genuinely kill yourself and go back to r-eddit you underage shitskin
Grayson Torres
I have never once in my life stalked somebody because they were a dick, whether irl or online.
Jackson Hughes
LOL. I got called every name here and I'm the worst because of my "passive agressive shit".
Yeap, definitely wrong place to ask for help to this topic, thanks.
Sebastian Gray
>concerns gamers
No it doesn't, it concerns pussies Iike you who can'tstand up for themselves and have to censor everyone else just so you wouldn't feel threatened by the naturally stronger.
This situation is the equivalent of a family with a small child going to a sports or a biker bar and telling everyone to hush and not use bad language because they decided to bring their child with them.
Bottomline is if you feel threatened and can't take insults then you should look out for yourself and fuck off instead of trying to change everyone else's behavior because of your insecurities. Fucking spic fairy faggot.
Joshua Jackson
Yes, yes there is. I've got 5k hours in fucking dota, and it was added over a year ago.
Owen Sullivan
This is how easy it is to angle Sup Forums now
James Morgan
>phenomenon >forum >/random >somehow expecting Sup Forums to be less racist, when it is literally where the racists, pedos, retards and other infections fester before spilling into other boards
Samuel Myers
Lol... I'm guessing a lot of you are just as racist as this person and have this type of behaviour so that's why you're all defending him with bad arguments. Thought you were better.
Lincoln Davis
>somehow expecting Sup Forums to be less racist, when it is literally where the racists, pedos, retards and other infections fester before spilling into other boards
That was years ago.
Sup Forums is normie central now, and I wouldn't be surprised if the OP (provided he's not baiting the fuck out of everyone) is actually from there.
Christopher Gutierrez
Well... I'm sorry.
Jeremiah Taylor

Luke Lopez
>356419703
Do you know how to read?
I spoke ENGLISH the entire game. Just wrote a salute in spanish at the beginning of it. Quit being that triggered about spanish.
Leo Parker
>Immediately assumes that everyone opposing you is a racist Why don't you just hide the arguments made against you that don't give a single shit who you are, but what you have done?
Wyatt Jones
>this whole post I dunno if you are shitposting, but you are the newest, freshest smelling just-off-the-boat user I've ever met.
Luis Martin

Luke Allen
>Immediately doing generalizations to prove your weak point.
I said *a lot of you*. Not "everyone".
Chase Richardson
>someone who tells you to toughen up because it's a fucked up world you can't change is somehow racist Really thanks you mink.
Colton Rodriguez
Why are you assuming i can't read english options in english?
Christian Miller
Because you didn't?
Jackson Cooper
Fucking hell user, this is how you bait.
Ayden Ramirez
This is the first actually considerate response I've got here. Thanks.
Jayden Stewart
Look, man. It's the internet. People are assholes, and the communities surrounding Mobas are extra cancerous. There is no fixing it. Google's little toy bot died less than a week after being allowed access to the internet. It's just a fact of life, and no amount of complaining will fix it. At least you get variety with your insults.
Jason Hall
>this whole thread
Mason Reed
My game options are in English. This, however, is just a PREFERENCE. It al comes down to servers and pin. I really don't get why people get so triggered by two spanish words. Look at yourselves, please. Stop the racist crap already.
Owen Gonzalez
If your language options aren't set to primary spanish secondary english you shouldn't be doing that, and even then you should ask in every game. Even fucking russians can handle that much when they choose russian/english.
Charles Jackson
Lol, I actually love Donald Duck. Can relate.
So should I just report and move on with my life? You know what sickens me? That it is not just a game, this people are out in to the real world. Sure, I can actually stop playing it if I can take it, but I feel like I did nothing to solve it.
