Is it time to admit that gaming has become too toxic and we need to remove all forms of communication such as discord...

Holy fuck when's my interview

I'm glad I got to experience the wild west of the internet, it gave me some ridiculously thick skin.

Nah, these zoomers and millennials are just prissy little faggots who can't handle a bit of banter. They can sure as hell dish it out but heaven forbid they get any in return.

>we need to remove all forms of communication such as discord, party / game chat.
yes
also remove twitter, facebook, reddit and youtube

NEWS: 100% of Yea Forums users are being bullied!

Something upsetting to either the person being bullied or in rare cases to onlookers despite the person being "bullied" not having an issue with it.

based black bro

Damn, I think I might need therapy now.

remember when halo 2 came out and this was just how people spoke to each other? and nobody cried about it on the internet or called the police or wrote shitty articles about the "victims"

Can't normies realize that they're being literally trolled, and to never take anything that's said/typed on the internet seriously? Are they literally retarded?

don't all modern games have a mute/ignore option? The last free CoD weekend I played im pretty sure it had the option to completely remove both voice and chat.

STOP TELLING RAPE VICTIMS TO NOT GET RAPED

This is my buddy Numel. He's a little bit shy, but I'd appreciate if you gave him a warm welcome, Yea Forums.

Games should implement something that allows you to not receive voice or text from other people online, if it was me I would call it mute, and would implement it in the form of a checkbox.

Better yet, just report the trolling faggot, and get him banned. Then he'll retreat to Yea Forums, and cry about how his money got stolen.

i'll enter your dreams and give you nightmares tonight and every night forever after for waging war in the universe

I want someone to bully me!

When I hear anything I disagree with

GENIUS!!!!!!

That’s because back then, the people who played those games were the ones who grew up on the internet and got their shit pushed in daily. Then you have this generation of people who only got on the internet in the mid 2000s and only know the top ten sites.

>Are they literally retarded?
Do you really have to ask?

>tfw took a class about cybersecurity last semester and my SJW prof thought it would be a good idea to assign us a 150 page long case study on gamergate to read through for the ""cyberbullying"" section of the course
i never fucking thought i'd have to unironically define what the "-fag" suffix is used for on Yea Forums or what "based and redpilled" means to get an A on a test

>Define bullying
losers took bants as bullying and made it a bigger problem than it is

What ever happened to people just ignoring insults

Banter can be annoying, but calling it "bullying" is ridiculous. Random people that you'll never meet again after a match can't bully you, that's not what bullying is.

Having people kill themselves because they can’t handle bants is a whole lot more entertaining tbc,qwyf

It is time to admit that people take vidya too seriously.

There used to be a time when people played vidya to have a laid back time. They chatted about their wives, politics, movies, as they shot each other in the face. And when they died, they laughed, oh they laughed, I still hear them echo in my head : "oh man hahaha you killed me so good! i literally exploded all over the lava hahahaha!"

These were good times. We could bring these good times back with this one easy trick, you won't believe what I'll be proposing next: >kill esports
>remove all stats tracking, experience and unlockables
>gametypes either free-for-all arena deathmatch with respawns, or team objective, ban all other gametypes
>grow a pair, words on the internet shouldn't affect you

A thousand cuckoos, one stone.

Also bring back player-run dedicated servers. Mods can kick out actual assholes, and assholes can make their own servers. And more importantly, you can actually let a community form based around similar playstyles.

Staying generally away from matchmaking-based online games, I had forgotten this, good point.

Matchmaking is evil, dedicated servers is the way to go.

As someone who was bullied for real in high school for 8 years.
Cyber bullying isn't fucking real.
Just log the fuck off.
CLOSE THE WINDOW.

I was told to kms a few posts ago
I wish this site was friendlier

BASED

Bants by people too stupid to understand the concept of banter.

That kid should kill himself

>high school
>8 years
I can see why.

Grow a thicker skin, videogames are the perfect place to do so since it's a safe enviroment where your life is not at risk. This 'toxic' nonsense is in itself the only toxic thing in modern videogames.

When I was younger, I got scammed out of my gold and verbally abused by people I thought they were my friends, both things sucked and got me really upset, but that was it, I only lost gold and got mad at the second thing.
Now, thanks to those experiences I had in a virtual world, I learned how to better handle myself in real life in a social enviroment.

Xbox live turned boys into men back in the day, we really need it back.

Masturbating in front of the microphone as soon as a girl enters the game

Yes.
Death to teamcucks and micfags. Text chat was fine but speaking is normie cancer.

Kids are shitheads and being able to insult people on the internet anonymously makes them doubly shitheads, more news at 11.

mute

When I'm being 'bullied', I don't take it to heart, I think 'Wow, this person is extremely sad and not funny.'
Same with n-word spammers, it's just sad. 'I said funny word :DD'

Maybe what's toxic is hows everyone is so thin-skinned and easily offended from years of being taught that being the victim is the highest position of power there is, and that "I'm offended" is being treated like a legitimate complaint in any way shape or form.

Online gaming, and gamers in general, have always been targeted by the mainstream for being the modern speakeasy. They don't like that people can get together with people they in the privacy of their own home: make it public matchmaking. They don't like that people can talk about whatever they want without being blamed and shamed: call it toxicity. They don't like that people fight back against this by calling developers and publishers out for their constant berating and coddling of customers: they're entitled and bigoted.

Video games are the last bastion of internationally available congregations and expression, and has been under attack for dozens of years. Don't let them take it from you.

Playing Last of Us online with a literal nigger. Yelling at us to do this and that. We die and he sarcastically congrats the other team. He dies the most with the least kills and still thinks he’s hot shit and we suck. Was entertaining for about 5 mins

This wouldn't have happened if you guys hadn't chased away the Bully Hunters.

Now the world is in peril and there's no one to save us from the bully menace.
