I love talking shit online. Anyone else? (Not racism or personal based)
- Thread starter Masterspeed
- Start date
The OP made a thread where he admits to being a jackass to strangers online for no reason. We're not splitting the atom in the hivemind here.
That's my takeaway
You're always being judged, closing your ears doesn't make it go away, people keep judging your skill or lack of skill. If you suck, own up to it. Have fun. Talk some shit. Make a new friend.
Or yknow, plug your ears and play alone like you deserve.
Thanks for being among the worst parts of playing games I guess.
LOL is the only exception
Trashtalking is amazing in LOL. 40 min long beefs are too much lmao
I like being nice to everyone and supportive of my team, especially when defeat seems inevitable. Especially in games of Rocket League. I own up if it's my fault, and I'll be nice teammates when it's going south. If you're a dick to me, I'll prove you wrong with my ability. Gotta stomach a lot of abuse and mostly from your own team... The only players I'll chide are those who talk down their own team when they're clearly at fault.
Too many dickheads online already.

I did grow up in it. I also grew up in a time where the only things that were spread via video were the outliers. Videos of people trash talking in arcades were the "holy shit" moments. Not day to day. You were literally more likely to get punched for trash talking.
It's a game, if you can't play without feeling the need to shit on teammates you perceive to be bad then stay away from team games. Rather not make a new friend with someone that's going to shit on me when I'm having a rough match, happy with the ones that have fun regardless.
Literally the mentality that's split more than one clan in games I've played, having some asshole that can't stop shitting on people rage and throw a tantrum if something isn't going well in the game.
Since we seem to be making a distinction between talking shit to randoms and the usual shit talking between friends. The latter I'll do until the cows come home but I'm not going to make someone who likely knows they messed up feel worse for the sake of what, being a dick?
I didnt say professional sports. It happens at all levels. If you cant take some good natured trash talk in a competitive multuplayer game then maybe dont do anything competitive. No one is saying theyre gonna personally insult you, but if you cant take someone saying you suck and laughing when they kill you then maybe its best you just mute everybody
Considering how OP's been MIA from this thread you're probably right that OP likes to dish it out but can't take it.
Yeah, nothing I love more than having some childish individual hurl insults at me because I don't fit their warped criteria for what is "good" in a game, it really adds to the experience overall and most definitely isn't the reason people still look at "gamers" as a bunch of toxic crybabies.
People with attitude problems were usually too busy buying drugs in the alley out back.
Wait. What? Shit on teammates? This is about opponents.
Never be shitty to people on your team, they're the ones who are supposed to have your back
I think its a hot take on Era but I absolutely agree with you.
The best is games that have proximity chat enabled (shoutouts Halo 2). Maybe its because I don't take it seriously but I love messing with people over voice chat. It's incredible in Sea of Thieves too. People will get so mad at you and I just sit there laughing. Not even talking about spawn killing or anything too. I once keg sunk an enemy at a skull fort, and they retaliated by spawn killing me without letting my ship sink. They deff dropped some fgt bombs on me (which, like you said, is not acceptable) but I was just laughing the entire time in game chat trying to ask for a truce.
Or in Rocket League I'll get teammates or opponents that try to trash talk and all I do is constantly spam "BE NICE" in chat.
Sometimes its nice to have a banter with someone. I trash talk with friends all the time, sometimes its fun doing it with strangers too.
"Good natured"
Lmao, coming from the guy telling others they suck to effectively 'lighten up' if they don't like it. Maybe don't play competitive things if you can't refrain from being a dick to people. Instead of excusing being a dick because.. well, I'm not sure.
I enjoyed playing Doom, Marathon and Quake against my co-workers/friends on the office LAN, and all of us yelling shit down the halls at each other. But on the internet playing with random anons, not so much. Less fun to trash talk, less fun to play in general.
I'd argue the people that needs to let other people know that they are bad at games when the are just trying to have fun are the ones with the superiority complex.
They got bullied and abused, and it wasn't cool then either.
Some of you fucking clowns, I swear.
I only do it with idiots.
Once I was playing a heroes of the storm match and I was matched with a very xenophobic chilean. Us, chileans themselves, pretended to be peruvian/argentinian and started mocking the country, it was kinda funny, specially since after the match we revealed to be chileans

The general arcade scene is not like a fight game tournament though.
The OP says both and as you didn't distinguish I didn't read otherwise. Glad you don't shit talk the people on your own team doing poorly at least.
To my friends in games like Tetris Attack, Smash or PES, sure because we know its a safe environment and we keep it non personal.
Otherwise no man, theres enough toxicity out there in the world. Words matter and can make a person feel bad, not worth it just so you can stroke your ego.

Sea of Thieves is next level joyous to fuck with people in general. A troll's playground. You can have so much fun doing so much weird shit to people.
Oh shit. I didn't realize. Yeah I don't shit talk my team - what kind of shitbutt would unless you're doing that with close friends?
Competition though, gloves off. Let's get ridiculous.
I'll talk shit (playfully) to friends in games who I have just trounced (assuming they enjoy that kind of banter), but not to strangers.
Maybe don't use an incredibly small sample size as the metric for what things were like in arcades back then?
The issue is people like you and OP lacking the self awareness and critical thinking skills to realize that just because THEY have fun being a shitheel to people online doesn't mean that everyone else is having fun listening to it or being the target or even getting to a point where they either don't wanna bother with VC in general or worse, respond and continue the toxicity. Often times it's literally just unprovoked cyberbullying. In short, grow the hell up.
Why is the onus on people just trying to play a game to take shit from anyone? Read the above. Especially the bolded.
Why would I want to "take" some random person yelling at me when I don't have to? How does that add to my enjoyment of the game?
Look, when someone named "icecoldturd" tells me how bad I am, I listen, I improve my game..
I'll be damned if a COLD TURD is gonna get one over on me
There's absolutely nothing wrong with some classic flexing on someone you just beat in a video game. If they take offence to you laughing at them or using some competitive language (lol) then that's their problem, not mine. I have absolutely no issues with someone calling me shit if they beat me because it's classic bragging rights. Even professional sportsmen take shots at their rivals and sometimes it's in a really harsh way. No one really cares though because that's just how things are and have been for ages. In fact, sports would be so bloody boring if there wasn't huge rivalries between teams or individuals.
I used to when I was a teenager. Kinda grew out of it but it'll creep back if another person initiates confrontation. Doesn't last very long though
I mean, call me old school but I really don't get it at all, why would you feel the urge to randomly insult strangers online that you do not know?
Does it really give a person that much satisfaction knowing they are being awful to another human being for no reason whatsoever?
I mean surely it's better to just, you know, behave like an adult and be polite and treat people the way you wish to be treated?
Apparently that's too much to ask for these days in a world where you can play a game like Rocket League and get told to "get cancer" by some fool who thinks anonoymity suddenly gives them the right to behave like a fool.

Im not excusing being a dick, prick. But if im playing and i say you need to practice to get under your skin in a competitive game thats not really being a dick. If you think so maybe go back to your safe space and mute me. Like i said going overboard and insulting people isnt cool. Being told toy suck against an opponemt isnt that big of a deal
I don't think it's inherently bad to do so, but I feel it's kinda bad sportsmanship to do if your 100% sure the other player is okay with it. Like, if your friends with someone and they know your just joking around, then okay. But if it's a stranger and they're frustrated at the match, then you might just be making an unfun situation for them worse by putting them down.
This is literally
"Guys I know bullying and toxicity is bad BUTTTTTT I enjoy it" the thread.
Take note of what specific people are saying for reference next time we have decide to have a toxicity in gaming thread.
I only tell people they're shit if they start telling other people they're shit.
Otherwise I prefer not to be hostile towards strangers.
Seriously asking here, how anti-social do you have to be to actually think it's a good idea to be rude or randomly hostile towards strangers just because it amuses you? Like you are actually saying you get enjoyment out of taking away from other people's enjoyment? What's wrong with you?
This is why clans always fall apart. Why voice chat on consoles is dead. Because of people like this. Ruining online games for everybody.

Hm, should the Era policy about personal attacks be rescinded for this thread I wonder. It would certainly help make a point...
