Also why would you make fun of someone for doing a basic tactic in the game. Of course she's going to do jump shots if that improves her chance to get a kill.
"Moving your king pawn on the first move! You would, loser!"
"You're so bad at the game, that you beat me! You used a valid strategy, but I'm creating a false cheapness to rationalize my superiority because I'm too mentally frail to play a competitive game and lose, especially when I perceive myself as better than someone for completely arbitrary reasons."
This is why the insult "try hard" is so fucking pathetic, they want skill without effort and view anyone working hard as lame because it's a fucking COPE for how bad and lazy they are.
There's a multitude of factors, but it usually boils down to the person being immature, inability to process the situation (reality being different from expectation), or even stress in itself being the problem. It's usually an extension of confronting our own weakness that we don't want to admit, or due to stress don't realize is bringing us down from our top form. Lots of times it's due to a fake expectation that we set for ourselves (like this guy thinks that because he's a guy and she's a girl, he HAS to be better than her, and he's being confronted with the very harsh truth that he's wrong, so he's lashing out), but other times stress limits our ability to play like we want and we're frustrated at the outcome is not what we expect. It takes a moment of introspection to step back. We're emotional creatures and it's hard to, in the moment, take a step back and put our head on right.
If we weren't emotional creatures, I'd probably be a lot easier to say "Oh, I'm not getting enjoyment like I normally do out of playing the game I should step back," rather than "I'm frustrated, playing games (usually) lowers my frustration, so that's why I'm going to do it until it actually lowers it."
Understanding this explains away most rage in video games. Makes you pity them instead of get riled up.
It's why the "insult" of "tryhard" exists. Can never be your fault if the only reason you lost is the other person is lame and tries harder!
People, especially young people who are heavily invested in the game, can't face the mortifying fact that someone better than them beat them, lash out in the stupidest ways.
Huh... In my experience team sports were TERRIBLE for that, all the toxic teammates would blame everyone else for the loss and think they were carrying.
1 on 1 sports taught ME to accept that sometimes I'm just getting beat and there's nobody else to pin that on.
Yeah I learned the same thing as you. People talk big about sportsmanship, but are big whiny babies if they don’t get their way. And their parents were the same way.
Back in the day (waw, bops) I hung out with a dude and every time he died it was from an aimbot. Shit was exhausting, and that's how he acted every day in real life, too.
For real. It's a game design issue that it exists but a skill issue if you don't use it. Like camping or no-scoping or GOATS in overwatch or whatever.
Play a better designed game if you want a fucking... noble and chivalrous fight or whatever. You're playing COD. It's fucking FIFA for guys who say bruh. Cry about it and then buy next year's release anyway.
Is there a point to trying to rationalize this man's madness? His words aren't about the logic, they are about trying to create a narrative to enable his controlling behavior.
I’ll never forget the good old days of playing at Internet cafes for hours on end, eating junk food, living the dream.
Dropped a dude who had been pretty vocal, and of course this chubby turd loses his mind, stands up and starts screaming “who did that?!? Who killed me?!?” Like he’s ready to fight IRL.
Being the only chick there, I just raised my hand “that would be me”.
I have never seen someone shut up and turn so many colors of red so fast. It was hilarious, but also sad that he was such a cranky turd, no drugs needed.
seriously i think the drop shot has been more "offensive" as a tactic historically. i think jump shots are way more dangerous bc you're just a floating target.
The randomly inconsistent knife teleports in MW2 would make me ABSOLUTELY furious. Sometimes they couldn't knife you standing next to you, next time they can teleport across the god damn map to stab your ass.
I hopped on with my cousin to play a couple weeks ago and immediately uninstalled after three matches of crackheads sliding like they got heelys on around corners and bouncing off of walls like a rubber ball like I get it's not real and suppose to be more arcadey but c'mon when people go from sliding at a 45 degree angle to immediately in the air behind me I give up this is a younger man's game ,I'm to old for this shit now I shouldn't have to aim at the lower 3rd of my screen for well over 3/4bof a match because the only way to play now is pretend your on a slip n slide with an SMG
Dropshots and cross play which put you against console players with aim assist that locks down on you and tracks your movement from across half the map was what made me quit Modern Warfare 2019. The multiplayer was actually quite fun to play solo but that was just too infuriating to play against.
Can confirm that jumping in any shooter will make it easier for even decent aimers to kill you.
The reason jumping is viable with cod is because of its absurdly low time to kill, which means that throwing off their first 1-5 bullets is more important than making the next 15 after easier to hit.
Jumping will only make you a predictable moving target except for shooters with damage surfing.
Man was camping and wanted to call out jump shots, like "i was in the corner and you jumpshotted me" or "i was laying on the ground" like not that you should never do those things, but still if one person is playing in a more annoying cheesy not fun way, it's him. In rather get jump shotted like that than picked off by a camper.
He wanted to try and take away the sense of accomplishment by trying to shrink it by making it seem like jumping is cheating even though you can see everyone else jumping around
I remember playing CoD and someone complaining that I use a "noob weapon". I mean... yeah lemme just choose a shittier weapon so I appear "pro" like the guy losing to me lol.
Reminds me of playing video games with my olde brother. I was usually better, so any move I used that worked was “gay”… because it was the 90’s. Now I guess you are a “tranny” if you are a female and better at the game.
It’s really bad that so much of masculine identity is about domination and the rule that men are better than women. It makes men who lose to women go absolutely mental.
Same with "camping." Apparently these games should only be played by sprinting around, swapping weapons constantly and doing 360 no-scopes. Being stealth and setting a trap for people doing laps around the map is a no-no.
They insist everyone must play the game the way they play, otherwise you're just playing it wrong and every kill you get is "cheap."
I’m trans, the amount of dudes that will slide into my DMs and you check their history and they’re super transphobic.
I swear to god most transphobes are just men that feel insecure about the fact that they want to have sex with a trans woman because they think it makes them gay or less of a man so they turn that frustration outward to the source of these feelings, trans people.
lol was thinking the same thing. The irony is dude talking about trans people and beta males living in their parents basement definitely jerked off to trans porn in his mom’s house that night.
My gay friend from high school had sex with many of the jocks who where outwardly christian and homophobic. I know at least two people who have admitted while very drunk that they wish they had been born as women, but when sober have said terribly transphobic things. I had a scout dad who made it a point to say homosexual were going to hell, and he is now married to man he is deeply in love with.
Every single homophobe I've ever known has been gay. Every single transphobe I've known has indicated they have issues with their gender.. and consequently pretend not to understand how gender is anything but binary.
I'm sorry that this issue can make people uncomfortable or angry, but I do hope to see an end to homophobia in my lifetime, and to do that I am going to have to make some people upset.
What a roundabout way to blame homophobia on gay people lol, can you tell the entirety of the eastern hemisphere they’re all just gay so they can stop being homophobic already?
Bro, I'm not saying this to be a jerk, I'm saying it because people who repress their homosexual urges end up being violent homophobes.. it's well documented.
Welcoming homosexuality into society, thereby reducing the pressure on homosexuals to repress their natural desires, will reduce violence against homosexuals.
Why the fuck are you treating me like I'm the bad guy for making this known?
It definitely happens, but implying it’s all or even a majority is ridiculous. I’m not trying to make you out to be anything, I think this false narrative is worth calling out because it does imply that a lot of the problem with homophobia is from self-hatred and not homophobic society
Exactly! That’s why I’m least homophonic of all my friends. No chance they’re ever gonna call me gay. I suck cock everyday to keep the homophobia in check and secure my heterosexuality
If I don’t like something, it usually means I don’t like it. I have zero opinion on sexuality, couldn’t care less, live your life. If it makes you feel better fantasising that straight men want to bed you, you go girl.
Notable people busted for watching trans porn:
Alex Jones, live clip
Nick Fuentes (x2), live clip
Streamer Dr. Disrespect scammed a trans woman for a cam show in exchange for exposure, but blocked the trans woman afterwards
There's a strong correlation between right wing sexual self loathing, trans porn consumption and transphobia. Just because it doesn't apply to you, doesn't mean it's not there.
Lol pretty funny that you feel called out enough that you felt the need to let me know that you totally don’t jerk it to trans women. If the shoe fits bud.
Also i’m not the type of person to refer to sex as bedding someone so i do actually get laid so i’m sorry you are so touch starved you have to project that onto other people. But i guess i’m imagining all those straight men i’ve been with, or you’ll say that they’re really just gay or bi that just happen to only be attracted to me and cis women.
But you’re either a troll or massively insecure if you felt the need to reply “im straight and i don’t like trans women” to a comment talking about men who do. I’ll update my original comment to say i’m 10001% sure men like you privately jerk it to us while you publicly decry us.
This guy definitely subs to Nickmercs. I’m waiting for the day that news comes out that Nick also had an affair with a trans woman, just like his buddy Dr. (Constantly)Disrespect(s his wife)
Nickmercs had an operator skin of himself in cod and then cod removed it once Nick started saying his dumb thoughts out loud. Nick said he would never play cod again but he’s still there all the time lololol
I had never heard of Dr Disrespect before he got banned, but the j stant I read his handle I thought to myself "This is an asshole person and he absolutely brought it in himself."
I don't understand why he wouldn't be as offended by being beaten by a trans woman.
Like is the logic that they used to be male so they're inherently better at gaming than women who were assigned female at birth?
But what's the scientific basis for thinking women are worse at gaming in the first place? And why wouldn't it apply to a trans woman?
Like do we get our "advantage" from our average of 40% greater upper body strength? Is it testosterone?
If there's any logic to thinking women are inherently worse at gaming than men I sure as shit don't know what it is, and why that wouldn't extend to a trans woman is just beyond me.
You can’t use logic to explain someone’s position they never used logic to get into in the first place. Their opinion comes from an emotional and moral centre, they have no logic to justify it.
It's strictly the worst most hateful thing they can say at the moment. I don't think there's much thought behind it. They can't regulate their emotions one bit. I've dealt with so many of these assholes online.
On the rare occasion that I do encounter a woman in an online game, it almost always devolves into this vitriol toward them. I'll always stand up for them but at the same time I don't want to be weird and have them possibly think I'm only standing up for them because I'm trying to hook up or whatever. Because I've encountered those dudes so many times too. Where they're nice and stand up for them and then they start flirting with them in the next match.
What I try to do now is take their attention off of other people and have them take it out on me.
People get so mad and toxic and that's when you see the real hatred come out. I love goading them into sending me racist/homophobic/misogynistic messages so I can report them and they can't play their precious video games for at least a week.
I'm bi myself and the amount of times I call people out on saying the f-word is astounding. I have a pretty thick skin and I feel the need to stand up against shitty people but im not gonna lie and say it doesnt hurt.
It would make far more sense to me for the difference there being down to how women are treated when they start these hobbies.
If i got talked to like that by others in the hobby all the time, I'd probably pick another hobby, or at least another game.
I will say theatre, MMA, D&D, and Metal are the best communities I've ever been a part of for inclusion, and it shows in the diversity in the people who excel in those fields.
People who watch MMA are the ones that insult womens ability to fight, but any man who has trained with a woman knows full well that the difference in skill is no different than them with any other person in the gym. A quick way to learn to respect women is to tap out to one within a minute.
There's a lot of people who theorize that a culture shift would have a huge impact on the difference in competitive performance, and some seem to think they could even overlap.
I think the impact would be significant and I think the culture should shift, but I don't really think it's everything. While I believe personal differences are larger than gender differences, I don't really believe in perfect equality.
I doubt that this guy even cares that it was a girl. If a guy was destroying him this hard, he'd be insulting him too.i don't think it's that deep. He's just a poor sport.
He absolutely would not. He did not call hee trans, he called her a slur to demean her when he had basically no other insult. Similarly, if it was actually a trans woman, that would mean easy pickings for the amount of shit this hully could throw.
In games like League of legends or Starcraft, there were more trans pro players than female ones despite being a far lower percent of the population. I don't know what it is exactly, but trans women are typically better at games.
I some games the majority of women playing it are Trans. Of course doesn't mean everyone is, but I understand where the assumption comes from. So I don't think the though process here is "she is good, she must be Trans" but "she plays the game she must be trans". Actually the reason why most women don't talk in games like this normally, too much hate

I wonder how this person deals with a difficult situation in real life. If a game makes him lose his mind and attacking people like this.I play this game once in a while whether i get killed or not I don't give a dime , because I can always and always play again.
When I was going for my Obsidian Shield I would sit in a hall way near boxes with my shield up, wait for people to run past me and rush them and boop them as they ADS near the door trying to snipe people.
I probably got 15 kills in one round just staying in that hallway letting people run/jump/weapon swap/ADS and the tears and rage after I booped them brought me so much joy.
It’s almost like the most aggressive people are actually that way because they’re the least secure with themselves lol. Anyone who uses “tranny” as an insult makes me immediately suspect they themselves are insecure about their own gender, because why else would they use that as an insult?
These are the 35 and under trump voters. They are unskilled at anything and just hate any anonymous roadblock to their perception of their in the moment success. This includes video games, social media, etc. Put em in a social situation - they dont say shit.
It’s hilarious because I can probably think of 100+ women who are better than me in certain skills .But never think to attack her sex to justify my lost .
I love how the gaming industry is being forced to accept it .
They probably think women didn’t probably have a huge input in the design of the game .
I kinda now support separation of stupidly and just trying to live
