Why are people so mean in chats?

why are people so mean in chats?

why cant people take screenshots?

Why don't you l2p, you faggot cheeser?

>not 'f aggot'
ONE JOB

Internet anonymity.

op ball chaser faggot

kill youself irl

>receives constructive criticism
>cant handle it
>"waaah wai r peple so meen :'("

Because it's free both of consequences and effort, fun and relieves you from your own responsabilities in the game as you can blame your teammates.

Why are people so mean on Sup Forums?

>have a group of friends to play online with
>one I've known for years IRL
>he's the most thin skinned faggot
>if someone types GG EZ you can bet he'll start a fight over it
>always tells us on Discord how he'll be reporting them
>anything that could be considered "BM" he'll bring up
>I just have to sit there and be like "Haha well whatever man let's just find a new lobby."
People like this really exist and they really play competitive games.

People are asses online because they won't be held accountable. KYS

Keep Yourself Safe :)

It's this. Go to anything where you have to meet people face to face and you can damn well sure they'll either act proper or get shit out of the community.

Unless it's the FGC. I hear they're different.

>Because it's free both of consequences

Not always.

>GELADA_BABOOM
What did he mean by this ?

ha

That's just what children are like generally.

>only because he mentioned school shooting
smdh

Guarantee he’s bronze/silver

That's absurd, he didn't even make a specific threat.

Don't know if it's just me, but I feel like people have been getting ruder in the internet compared to back when internet was just starting to take off. Which to me is a shame, because especially when you play games online, it feels like meeting nice, decent people has become the exception. I barely communicate in online games anymore because of that.

Nah, I feel the same.
Back when I started playing LoL in 2010 the level of trashtalk was nowhere near what it is today.

land of the "free"

I think the real change is that people have stopped bothering to talk at all because they assume everyone else is a twat. The level of shittalking is exactly the same, it's just the the only thing being said now.

...

Why are people so mean in real life?

Western civilization is falling apart and these kids cope with it by being rude to strangers on the internet.

Nah. Back in the mid/late 90s all of the online games I was playing said even more horrible shit. For instance, in Infantry Online the go to insult was 'Get raped'. Shit like that has kinda fizzled out, thankfully.

DSP got kicked out after everyone got sick of him recording Majors with a tripoded camera in between the players only to upload it on youtube for the revenue along with him being an insufferable douche in general. Even the FGC has upper limits.

I suppose it also has to do with the fact that the internet is nothing extraordinary anymore. Back when I played my first online game of Warcraft 3, I was amazed that I could just talk and play with other people like that, but nowadays everyone has a chat app on their phone and it's really nothing special anymore. With so many more people on the internet, I suppose it's only natural that you eventually stop caring about most of them.

Still a shame though. I find it very annoying that people have become so aggressive, especially in competitive games. It's not like trash talk affects me, but when I log on to play games in the evening, I do so to relax and have a fun time, and it just feels disappointing when everything that is said in games aims to insult other people.

Because they're miserable people. Have you ever met a person who is happy and content with life who raged in an online game?

That reminds me LowTi3rGod was on an Evo Stream recently and was actually pretty respectful. I mean he's still a horrible person but he knows how to act in public.

>amerifat justice system

LAND OF THE FREE

People who can't speak english should just shut the fuck up.

#justamerifatthings

I don't play any online game where you have to cooperate with strangers, it's just awful now.

So many people seem to have that unfortunate combination of being insecure, angry and stupid.

>Lol at Euros we are land of the free.

It's really the same, Percentage wise at least. There are simply far more people on line than in the 90s so it feels more prevalent.

Because people are horrible, next question

My new roommate plays LoL. He's going to play for a collegiate league. He rages nonstop. Yelling, pounding, calling every little thing bullshit. Competitive games are cancer.
How do these people drive to work without killing someone

This. Best reply in thread.
What's worse is the most popular games are online pvp, which itself tends to create a lot of unnecessary friction.

Odd considering LTG is larger than like 90% of the FGC.

but yeah, the fact that you're anonymous and playing online with a 1% chance of getting found means you can be a pretty major cunt to people with little to no repercussions.

Who fucking cares?
Do you want people to be kissing your ass?
People play games to vent or relax, and it's kind of endearing to be called a faggot online at this point

Miserable people love starting shit. For example I have a neighbor that constantly tries to fuck with my property hoping I'll get into a dispute with them. They need to constantly involve other people in their bullshit; its the only way to keep them distracted from whatever their fucking problem is.

I'm fine with every insult and every brag but
>gg ez
Is legitimately infuriating

I'm not completely happy with my life but I still put in every effort to keep my rage out of chat or voice chat. These guys have no excuse.

Holy shit murrica

there no consequences because you cant punch through the screen and break their nose

I love winding these people up. Games would be boring without them.

>free speech

if theyre mean its usually because they see an opponent team they can beat with teammates who have the slightest idea of what theyre doing. if your constantly getting bullied you need to get fucking good its the truth and it hurts. this is why. /thread.

This. Having people tell you you aren't worth a sweat is bothersome. You at least want to give a challenge to the other person.

This. Nigger, faggot, retard, get fucked, uninstall, etc.

Now
>call somebody an idiot
>get a temp ban for "toxicity"

You lived a sheltered existence if you thought people weren't as bad before.

Sounds more like they're idiots who only win when they're being carried by good players.

This is an English language image board by the way.

Theres nothing wrong with my last post moron. You sound like you stay in silver in all the games you play

It's easier to upload for phone posters.
They ruined everything.

So do you always use capitalisation for every other post or is it only when people make fun of you about it?

>playing anything that is advertised as "competitive"
>not expecting serious fags
well, yeah

What fucking games do you people play? Even when im feeling like CSGO the worst I get are tryhard faggots that take videogames too seriously or easily-muted memeing high schoolers. Everyone else has been a huge bro

le kys xD

I honestly didn't even notice i capitalized anything until you mentioned it. thanks for being the grammar police on Sup Forums of all places kek. Also you shouldnt take your anger out on me because you suck ass at video games

>this guy ate a ton of salt in a frustrating game and tries to remove it by playing another frustrating game
i do the same mistake with csgo/hollow knight and then trying to relax on tf2
only solutions are:
1) play on a game that require less concentration (or a singleplayer game)
2) stop playing, have a break, take a big breath
3) look at some funny shit on YT

Matchmaking gets all toxic people together.

I play LOL's ARAM exclusively and I don't remember anyone was toxic to anyone in a long time.

Good player fucks up
>oh shit
>well gg

Shit player fucks up
>fucking loser cheeser
>kill yourself f aggot

How do you live like this?

Bruh you're the only one getting mad here, not him.

>serious
>being a raging cunt
>the same thing
I take competitive games 100% seriously and I've played well over 200 or 300 hours of various games competitively, and like anyone else who does that, I've been frustrated during them quite often. But I've never once raged to a degree that I insulted others, let alone told them to kill themselves.

Don't mistake throwing insults around like a child is a standard part of playing a competitive game seriously. It isn't, or at the very least, it doesn't need to be.

>Texas

Damn, dat nigga dead. Rip in peace.

where in my post does it imply im mad

>I take competitive games 100% seriously
I cringed

>Recently downloaded TF2
>only play Engineer
>terrible at him since I'm still learning
>12hrs of casual later, still shit
>nobody in Voice/Text chat called me out yet

I know right, like taking anything seriously in the current year, dude.

kys

ahaha how is that youtube coming buddy, tryhard fag

Mainly Overwatch at the moment, and yes, that game does have a very bad community in my opinion.

I do enjoy playing it competitively though, and I often solo queue when my friends aren't available. Most of the time I end up disappointed because you really need a lot of luck to actually get thrown together with people who want to play as a team. A lot of players call gg the moment someone makes a mistake or start flaming who they think is the weakest link in the team if everything isn't going perfectly, and that often makes it impossible to play the game.
When I was in school, I played basketball (semi)competitively and there it was a given that you needed to work together with the other people on your team to win the game, because that's what the team is for. Strange that so many people completely disregard that, as if it didn't apply to team-focused online games.

why else are you competing? for fun?
get out

>being a milennial
>not trying at anything at all

sounds about right you pussy faggot

In TF2, there is a big difference between
>just plain shit
and
>shit but trying

>Mainly Overwatch at the moment
>Autistic
>Woman
>Child
which one of these are you?

no, moot ruined everything by normalizing Sup Forums during fappening headlines, then selling it

he basically stabbed the site in the back, then sold off its corpse

Oh yeah i am sure you are raking in the big bucks loser kek

You call yourself a man when you don't even kill at least one person driving to work?

>Revealed he lives near a school

Wow that's insane I don't know anybody who lives near a school.

this
you're a top retard if you take playing "competitive" games proper serious
faggots like that enable tumors such as esports to live

who cares if hes not making money the point is to compete and take it serious

>Internet anonymity.
this is also why Sup Forums is filled with shitposting.
It should be the best place but people just use it as an excuse to be terrible without consequence

Baggagecuck killed /prog/ and /lounge/
He can never be forgiven

>who cares if hes not making money the point is to compete and take it serious
Sounds like a massive waste of effort if you aren't making money

do YOU make money while you play video games? because if you don't then its a massive waste of effort

No, but i also don't take competitive games 100% seriously like an autistic manchild

I've never seen so many angry butthurt fags as there are in rocket league
No other game I've ever played has had more people who will spend the entire match bitching and owngoaling out of spite

This, what the fuck? How much bandwidth could text boards possibly use? And why did they kill /z/? It feels like 4chins is gradually becoming more NO FUN ALLOWED.

There are a lot of people that think they’re better than they are and don’t realise goals are their fault due to ballchasing, bad challenges or positioning, so they just blame their team for not saving it instead.

Yeah basically
It doesn't help that the mods are a bunch of newfags
>gookmoot doesn't give a single fuck about the quality of the site
>either doesn't speak English well or pretends not to to avoid feedback
>RUINED /his/ by allowing humanities
>continually asks for suggestions on how to fix Sup Forums yet never does anything
I really fucking miss moot

make me miss battlenet

for me it's mostly the fact that they're sneering while typing it, they know it's not true, they tried hard.

>wanting moot back
Yeah nah that faggot would just sell us out and ruin the site the minute he starts fucking some sjw whore

who takes car soccer seriously lmfao

Because they go into the match expecting to win and when they don't they make up excuses as to why that happened to avoid admitting they just weren't good enough to beat those opponents yet.

This usually manifests itself as shit talking the opponents and claiming they used all kinds of ''no skill required'' bullshit tactics.

Autistic manchildren, same people that like arms, smash, or splatoon
