If this means more people will use their mic and collaborate in team games then I'm for it. But what happened to the matchmaking setting that put us in with gamers of similar style?
What about saying
HEY DUDE, GO BLEEP YOURSELF.
I mean just like that, "Hey dude, go bleep yourself"
Is that acceptable?

I honestly completely agree with this and you have articulated it perfectly here.
There is seriously nothing more offputting than having to deal with this kind of stuff in online games, it's the very reason I barely play multiplayer anymore or when I do, I hit the mute button immediately.
I don't want to be on the end of abuse from a grown adult or child just because they think I am not meeting their criteria for "being good" and because they cannot stop themselves from insulting another human as if it's something to be celebrated, even the "accepted" list just reads like a list of pointless insults.
I almost can't believe this is a real thing tbh, seems like a joke.
To be fair telling people not to be racist and shit is fine, it's just the funny memes that come from people in suits discussing "potato aim" and "getting wrecked" then doing a press release which is good times.
You know how when someone uploads a vidwith poor resolution to YouTube and one of the comment clichés is "This video was recorded with a potato"?
It's like that. Completely ineffectual aim.
Can't believe they thought they were on your level.
While this might sound like a good idea would it not have an adverse effect on matchmaking times?
Of course, I was referring to the latter, it seems ludicrous that this is a thing lol, I wonder if they even know what potato aim is.
Son, get off your potato 56k.
HIGH PINGS DAD, SHUT THE FUCK UP OR I'LL WRECK YOU.
Corporate approved trash talk ....... could be fun, whose got some clean but mean comebacks fellow kids?
It is sad I agree, that's the current timeline I guess.
REKT*, damnit Microsoft, get it right.. nubs.
Alternatively, how little experience people have with multiplayer games lol.
Well just keep practicing. Maybe she'll find it in her someday to accept, or at least tolerate you. You can do this!
=( Fucking kids
Not necessarily. ERA is a bit of a bubble. GAF was too. You learn, hear, see and experience a lot when you interact with others elsewhere. What people find shocking or new here, is either old news or just par of the course.
Thinking about it now I bet it would. I myself like a middle ground where trash talk is fun but not vulgar similar to a ball game.
It is, you only need to look at the poll last year where it show that the average resetera user is thirty years old.
REALLY confuse 'em, mix in some overly complimentary talk too!
Are you playing with your head up your posterior? Because DAAAAAAAAAAAAMN that takes some dexterous skills, I'm impressed!
Get wrecked with that potato aim, my good fellow!
You suck, and if your mother isn't too busy, I like to treat her to a nice dinner later, perhaps a movie.

I never would have thought this, but I think it works!
Potato aim is clearly the best acceptable trash talk.
He not only cheated the trash talk guidelines, he cheated himself.
Microsoft Studios |OT 5| I Must Scream but I have Potato aim
Good thing I already shit talk like a 50s sitcom.

That's a trait they use to describe an acceptable form of trash talk, not what they claim an outcome of trash talking is.
