Just what went wrong here? Why do modern gamers enjoy getting outraged over "player behavior"? Why has "fun trash talk" been redefined as "toxicity"?

Thin-skinned normies and special snowflakes happened. They can't handle banter at all.

You just wanted to make this thread to vent. There is no "why". The world is just fucked.

Of course there is a why. Developers started listening to the whiners and implementing report features. Some of them even give you a "well done, you successfully reported a super toxic guy and now we banned him! good boy!" message.

It's pathetic.

>How come I can't make experiences less enjoyable for other people anymore? This is not fun for me!

What a tragedy my man

>Just what went wrong here?

Normies now outnumber the non-normies in online games.

The hardest thing about the golden age of anything is that you never realize you're in it when it's still there for you to enjoy.

>It's true what they say. The grass is always greener, and you really don't know what it is you have, until it's gone... gone... gone.

>Actually arguing that voice chat in COD4 being full of squeaky idiots was a good thing
>getting mad that you can't continue to be a fuccboi in modern games

Not everyone's emotional maturity peaked at 12 years old OP

If shitposting is genuinely such a core aspect of your being that you can't have fun while unable to do it then you might be autistic.

Oh no, the days of shrill beta men screaming the newest swear they've learned are over like they just turned eight are over.

>Faggot on overwatch pisses me off because he's better than me
>Report him for offensive language
>Claim that he called me a nigger in voice chat
I don't know if it does anything but I find it amusing.

here come the redditors who defend this shit

>a dozen reddit threads are made

And this is one of them.

Normies have always outnumbered non-normies in multiplayer games

I have to ask though, why do you need to do that?

Wouldn't want to miss that quality, uh, banter?

>t. Everyone who disagrees with me is reddit

>playing COD4
>playing Overwatch
Kys yourself famalam.

You seem to enjoy getting called faggot if you prefer 2007. There's no engaging bants either since it boils down to your mom, fag, or some other generic insult.

Because all the kids call me faggot in school, and cyberspace is my only opportunity to even the score.

Just play a good online MP game like dota. I've seriously tilted opponents by fucking with them in the chat

>t.born in 1996

Learn your history, kid.

>good online MP game
>dota

lol at this faggot

Because the person who usually traah talks ia terrible at the game.

This only works for fighting games where there is an underlined respect for popping off

Also
>playing xbox anything

>Modern gaming
>Say GG ironically
>Get banned for hurting the other team's feelings

wew

That's what you get for being a homophobe, sweetie.

Fuck off Sup Forumstard. You clearly never played video games, especially not in 2007.

>dude fuck dota xd
>a-am i fitting in y-yet?

That's what you get by living in America.

There's just no reason for trash talk. Belittling other players doesn't help anyone, aside from boosting your own ego.

>Why do we need trash talk or freedom of speech in an online video games! It's just a kid's toy!!!

It's pathetic that people don't want to have to listen to some chucklefuck angstmaster 13 year old call everyone niggers and tell them to kill themselves over a video game?

I know its "muh slippery slope", but soon developers will start banning players for telling someone they are bad at the game and that they should do X instead of Y

Sounds like your issue is that you don't have dedicated servers where you can enforce your own rules. Maybe you should post about how games need that?

...

You're retarded. In 2007 you'd get banned over the same shit as in 2017. OP clearly has never played a video game in his whole life before Overwatch.

The only time i report is people who negatively impact the outcome of the game i.e purposefully feeding and throwing in games like dota and CS.

Shit talk all you want just be able to back it up otherwise you are a toxic faggot.

In competitive games trash talk is part of it, particularly fighting games. You want to put your opponent on edge so they fuck up. Whether or not you agree that you should be able to do that is another question.

>2007
>log onto Xbox Live
>find a match in CoD 4
>a dozen annoying screaming little prepubescent shits spouting unfunny shit like "HAHA FUCK YER MAWM FUCK YER FAEC"
Do you seriously want to go back to that? I'm sure you can still find that on XBL, but playerbases on PC tend to be more mature and civilised. Banter is acceptable, but only when it's actually witty to some degree, instead of "HAHA YOU'RE LOSERS AND I FUCKED YER MUM"

>ugh anyone who wants to not have some cuckold breathing down their neck over online interactions in a video game must be Sup Forums!!!!

Yeah! The only way to be a true le epic 4channer is to constantly assume the most obnoxious persona you can conceive while exercising a complete disregard for the thoughts, feelings, and desires of everyone around you.

Anything other than that is simply reddit and probably jewish as well.

>99% of players don't want to hear this braindead 12-year-old's idea of """""""banter"""""""
>Developers agree, and want to make the game more fun for 99% of their players
>BUT WHY DON'T THEY CATER TO MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Because you're a damaged human being, that's why

That's pretty cringey and dramatic desu

>Asking a question
>Can't answer
>Shitpost instead
Mhm.

...

>Freedom of speech
Literally every single person who whines about "muf freeze peach" has absolutely no idea what the concept of freedom of speech even means. "Free speech!" Is basically shorthand for "I'm an uneducated fool".

You should play PLAYERUNKNOWN'S BATTLEGROUNDS (tm), nothing but squeaky children.

It's a fact. You would get banned for doing that shit in 2007. You clearly don't play video games. Fuck off.

>Someone who was once dumb is still dumb

All this really proves is OP is going to be a faggot forever, so I'm not sure why you made this argument

yeah fuck freeze peach and fuck goobergaters amirite my fellow #ImWithHer poster?

Communism has never been tried

>One person mentions Sup Forums
>Randomly select a bunch of other posts to throw in with that one
Not helping your argument at all

Yeah, trashtalk is what's supposed to get the blood pumping and the competition going. But nowadays people's skin seems to be made entirely of hymens.

shhh. He has to fuel his own persecution complex about how the scary jewish nigger left is coming to take away his god given right to act retarded.

Reddit defense squad out in full force today

>Just what went wrong here?
Normalfags

...

>I was an old school Sup Forums troll
browsing only Sup Forums for a few months while you're an edgy teenager != being informed on the culture

Have you kids ever stopped to think about why you feel the need to be racist edgelords online? Free speech has nothing to do with it, that's just the scapegoat you guys latch on to when challenged, and everyone knows it. So really, what's the reason?

Just stop posting OP, you're clearly a retard.

we won

>five years ago Sup Forums would rant about how cancerous xbox live is
>2017 and Sup Forums rants about players in vidya trying to keep it chill

>Trash talk is supposed to get blood pumping and competition going


Why? Is this even true? And if it were true is it necessary? I literally mute everyone in any online game I play and just play the game. Exerting the effort to make shitposts just seems like a waste.

Good thing i can mute chat and mic in OW.

...

>never shit talked
>still have an 75+% negative rating on XBL
People don't like being told they are shit in comms or by being destroyed in games.

>oy vey somebody is "racist" (a term invented by soviet communists to control and destroy the working class population) in a video game? the gall of these goys thinking they can just joke about their skin color and find camaraderie in these jokes instead of it being a dividing foce used by (((us)))!

>Why cant i spew hate speech at strangers without any repercussions anymore?

It's more fun to be a condescending prick instead of an screaming ape now. Spamming ":^) you will do better next time" is way more infuriating than getting called a faggot. That being said, I did get banned for telling someone to neck themselves which is pretty bullshit.

Mostly anger about not having a gf. I'm not even trolling or being hyperbolic or anything here; a lot of these types of people feel shut out of mainstream society and thus lash out against a culture they perceive as being the cause of their woes.

That's what the mute button is for.

Why is it always Overwatch that people complain about?

you're just low energy

look at this autistic left wing projection

it's popular

This ain't a video game problem, OP.

You can't even call someone a nigger on Sup Forums anymore without 30 triggered white boys raping your post and derailing everything into your average "please delete Sup Forums" /qa/ thread.

>(((hate speech)))

>Hahha, it was all just jokes! When I tell a black person on the internet that I hate niggers and think they have tiny brains, I'm really just attempting to establish a positive rapport with them via comedy.

>Liberals are the real racists for not wanting me to act like a racist

Im going to give you the benefit of the doubt and assume I have been trolled because I can't fathom how dumb you'd have to be to sincerely think something like this.

that's how it used to be in the 70s and 80s, but you being a numale wouldnt know this of course

Silence is golden
No squeakers spewing meaningless insults and no one complaining about it.

you're not being subtle enough anymore.

not an argument

>Getting assblasted enough on video games that you have to screech like a pig getting gutted.

>its another CoD fatass baby with no friends thinks the peak of multiplayer games was shitty dudebro xbox live

Both Unreal and Quake communties would ban you for being a shithead or a wanna be troll or blatanty racist even back in 2001, go be a cry baby faggot somewhere else.

>grew up and became liberal
Was he some sort of double-child when he was younger?

Calling Anonymous a nigger because he likes Mega Man 4 over Mega Man 5 is not the same thing as going "kill all black people". If you get people actually confronting you, it's because you're smugly doing the latter.

DELETE THIS

>wanna be troll

who would write this?

>black
>people
Good one.

I think you're autismshaming or whatever the hip new buzzword the cool woke kids on nu-Sup Forums use.

>the words are censored
>ban him for saying them anyway
god damn that is some real bullshit right there

>T. Butthurt wannabe troll
Even trollling used to take effort back then, people like you are just a waste of space.

he is actually autistic though

see

>Playing either
That was your first problem you fucking cancer

>c*****ds
The rest is easy enough to figure out but this one has me stumped.

>I'm gonna fuck you up kid you're gonna lose easy and your mom's a fag
>I'm gonna beat ur punk asses, fagboys

yeah i guess they just couldn't handle the quality banter

It's right though, tumblr-kun.

Kinda fun how Sup Forums used to shit on CoD becasue their fanbase was like full of 12 year old fuckbois but now you guys are asking to act like 12 years old fuckbois

TOAST

People typically start as rebulitards because they're poor and stupid, but after education and working, people realise that being liberal is the intelligent choice

>fuckbois
You're not any better.

You're the child that miss venting online and being able to say nigger online for no reason, aren't you
