Do you guys talk smack in online multiplayer?

Not unless someone else starts it first, but I haven't had that experience in 10+ years. Seems like a good place for a poll, though.
No, I don't speak at all.
And I'm pretty sure if someone was smack talking to me specifically I'd just leave as I can't handle that sort of confrontation.

I dont
and its not worth the effort to fight back with people who just want to complain
95% of the time I just get away from them

It's cringe as hell IMO.
Only do it via minor, comical mechanical ways in-game e.g. the quicktalk buttons in Rocket League

If you are playing League Play and ain't using a mic, best believe I'm going to curse you the fuck out.
I am always polite in online games with strangers, you'd be surprised how nice it can feel to get positive vibes from a player.
If I'm playing with people I know, I generally read the room and joke around, but don't take it very far. Me and my mom play Mario Party for keeps though, and the passion on display is hilarious and non-derogatory.
Trash talk can be fun but you gotta know how far is too far, and be playful when appropriate, if it's only fun with you it's probably not worth doing, and if it hurts it definitely isn't worth doing.

The only time I ever talk smack in a game is when I'm playing Sea of Thieves with my daughter, and someone attacks us, and starts talking trash to US, but then we win. If they are gonna talk trash, I like to let them know they just got worked by a second grader and her dad.
Also love the other side of this, when you get tipped and then tip after every won engagement until you win the game. Sometimes hard to resist the ggez.
I have a tendency of writing gg ez but i also write gg ez when i lose so ya know... it balances out.
I do, but I don't play with any strangers at all, I avoid most pvp game in general, and really the only person I talk smack to is my best friend and mostly because he swears like a sailor when he's losing and sometimes it's fun to poke the bear :P
We never get upset at each other though, it's just in good fun.

trash talk can be fun between friends who know their boundaries
with strangers in online games, it usually devolves into offensive shit and downright hostility, so i rarely engage with it

Hell no. I don't talk at all if I can avoid it. Never play with a mic on, ignore text chat. I've had more than enough of some big mad gamer bro calling me a f*ggot.
I hardly ever play multi-player games anymore, so no. There were times back on 360 where I had a group of friends do it occasionally but I can't remember doing it.
No, and half the reason I avoid competitive online multiplayer of any sort (outside of Nintendo's, I guess) is because lolno.
Never on voice chat, but I miss the toxicity and salt of the EU MGO2 servers text chat. It always balanced on that fine line of having the most toxic assholes who you could annoy super easily, but never really resorting to racist and homophobic slurs, and when it did, the entirety of the lobby would get onto them for it and either team kill them/make the match hell, or just boot them.
Winning a survival match and telling the enemy team to "enjoy your gloves" was the sole reason to play that mode.

I'll occasionally get kind of heated/competitive but I never really talk smack, with randos at least. On top of it just not generally being my personality, there is just so much opportunity for it to be taken the wrong way when playing online, good-spirited ribbings quickly devolving into people just shit-talking.
