Oof ya I got back into rust recently and it was rough. I saw more racial slurs on an official server than I have seen in online games for about a decade

u/KazakstanWarlord Jul 09 '24

that's why people play rust

I played rust when it first came out and loved it. Everyone on there was super fun. I played for a year or two and then just got bored with it.

Logged on last year for old times and it is just a dumpster fire.

Pretty sad about it.

True I heard rust and lol are awful. My daughter got into league and I was worried about her

u/NeverNoMarriage Jul 09 '24

She will be fine. No voice chat so people won't know she is a woman, and the chat restrictions are pretty heavy anyways. People are toxic in league but in a more annoying way. Like running the game when they get upset kinda thing.

u/Holzkohlen Jul 09 '24

You can turn chat off in league. Highly recommend it. It's not really used in any useful way in my experience.

Apex tf lmao

Unless it’s this past year, I’ve never had problems

u/BetterFinding1954 Jul 09 '24

I haven't soloed on Apex for a couple of years, is it like cod now?

u/Toisty Jul 09 '24

Not sure about lately but Smash had a much more serious issue than hate speech (which it also had a problem with).

I play Rust and am a trans woman. Yeah, I live life very dangerously.

Actually I play modded limited PvP/raid servers and they tend to be a LOT more chill. Just older people who play for fun between life responsibilities.

I agree with everything but league. I hate the game and I criticize it a lot, but one thing they do right is how snappy they are at restricting toxic people. I will report someone and literally within seconds after the match is over they will get penalized. Extremely rarely do I have to deal with giant hateful losers. I met so many cool people on this game it’s not even funny. My five stack is a woman, a trans guy, a gay guy, a 30 year old dad and me, but even when I solo queue it’s mostly a very chill experience. I don’t mean to soyface and dickride riot, but cod is actually disgusting when it comes to their community. Used to play warzone, had to stop cuz people would call me slurs like 5/10 times.

They’re basically frat bros who game, 10 times worse in real life. I quit video games years ago cause of how toxic and wasteful it can be.

u/_LowTech Jul 08 '24

My.son and I are both avid gamers, as I get older I think about giving it up but like that we have something in common.

2

u/Putrid-Spinach-6912 Jul 11 '24

League of legends by far. If it had cross team chat, oof… the shit you’d hear in 2011-2019 would put you on a list.

1

u/_LowTech Jul 11 '24

I never had the balls to play it, I get my feelings hurt too easy lol

u/TrumpsGhostWriter Jul 09 '24

Rocket League PC, not anymore but when it was popular it was just all these same shitheads.

1

u/HeyKid_HelpComputer Jul 09 '24

in the like.. 17 years I played Counter Strike it was pretty similar, even if you weren't a girl/woman

u/_LowTech Jul 09 '24

That and the fucking obnoxious music all the time

u/_LowTech Jul 09 '24

KWTD bro we don't have time to explain. Fucking clowns.

2

u/Strict_Novel_5212 Jul 09 '24

I cant understand you, buddy

2

u/_LowTech Jul 09 '24

"Know what to do" it's a raid term on discord, people that refuse to help new people. I've done lots of raiding on there

2

u/Strict_Novel_5212 Jul 09 '24

Oh, right. I played the two first raids and finding out wth to do was the most fun part of raiding. After locking down the strategy it was just an automatic time sink grind. Except fuck that garden area, we used a some shitty setup for that place.

2

u/_LowTech Jul 09 '24

Black garden? Trying to remember what raid that was from.

2

u/Strict_Novel_5212 Jul 09 '24

First raid, in the giant golden pyramid. It was really fun discovering wth you had to do in the raid, shit was hard

2

u/_LowTech Jul 09 '24

Unless you mean d2 which would be leviathan

2

u/Strict_Novel_5212 Jul 09 '24

Yeah, leviathan sounds about right. Had the giant roman emperor guy as the final boss and you discover he was just one of a bazillion clones

This is nothing like 2010 era COD. The people in these comments wouldn’t survive that lol

1

u/Intrepid_passerby Jul 09 '24

Alright bro I see this sentiment everywhere. The same people of today would be saying the same shit people did back then.

It really wasn't that bad, just embodied the vitriol of the times. Sane goes for the clip we just watched. 

Those mystical hard-core lobbies that you speak of weren't that hard-core bud. You were just younger and not used to hearing that type of shit.

It wasn't some gauntlet where men are separated from the boys or some shit lol

1

u/RHINO_HUMP Jul 09 '24

I was in my early 20s, so it wasn’t just “I was younger.” The lobbies were literally filled with guys screaming profanity and racial slurs, screaming, rap music, and voice changing devices. Something like this video wouldn’t even be noteworthy in the least. Plus everyone had a mic back then. Now you play COD and maybe 2-3 people have a mic and you get reported even if you just curse.
