Shrimp or Shrimps posted:I'm Battlefield 5, not an electronic sport but an electronic world War 2 game, there was a significant portion of people loudly complaining why they couldn't dress like real Nazis did, why there were non-white player characters, and why there were women in the game. online culture has always had a vested interest in using that anonymity and impersonal feel to violate taboos, as you can see if you pay for archives access the gaming community has a decidedly technolibertarian bent where any censorship and any rules not related to competitveness are automatically Bad; the majority of them are not bigots or actively malicious people but fall into the common category of “racist in an oblivious/insensitive way” i think anyone who chooses to identify a hobby as a personality trait is ultimately a fuckin antisocial weirdo though

i'm surprised it hasn't improved at all. i mean i guess there are always 4chan type idiots and no company has shown any ability to moderate any online community. but id think the general trend would be towards less of that following society in general.

Someone posted this elsewhere: Discendo Vox posted:Video games, like a lot of tech-mediated cultural spaces, were areas principally available on a large scale to those benefiting of privilege. The people who succeeded in those spaces, and who were born of those demographics, reflected that cultural space and the identities and bigotries (race and gender, and all other axes) of the people who created it. They became the next generation of leading creators and tastemakers, an ouroboros of wealthy white sheltered boys growing up on and creating new power fantasies for themselves and their successors. This was basically an engine for perpetuating peter pan cultural norms into game development, which produced more masculine white power fantasy for its core userbase, which then voted with their dollars for more of the same. Until the market broadened enough for the less lovely to benefit and for capital to see an alternative target audience.

Rainbow Six started banning people automatically with a word filter. It led to players baiting opponents/teammates to use slurs in order to get them banned. https://kotaku.com/every-game-should-copy-rainbow-sixs-new-chat-moderation-1827671630

Welcome to the Clippers fans. The underdog story was interesting but the talent top to bottom this is somewhere on the top ten list of 8 seeds, no shame in losing to a Warriors team that tried a lot harder to win than the memes are saying.

There are definitely pockets that have grown up. I'd go so far as to maybe even say a majority if a small one. Problem is those who didn't not only didn't grow up, they're REALLY vocal and mad that others did.

The funny thing about this clippers team is that it almost had the same spirit as those underdog neil ohshley vinny del negro teams that won before cp3 and blake got there, but even more so. It reminds me of some of my favorite teams of all time, just a bunch of pretty good to good players playing as hard as they can and sacrificing everything for each other. Really fun. I don't think Pop's going to retire on a first round loss

The more proactive studios actual build in reporting features in order to identify and ban / probate toxic players.

It has improved quite a bit, and many communities have much better moderation and reporting tools. If you say racist or homophobic poo poo in Rainbow 6 Siege, you get banned, for instance. There are still lovely people, but that stuff is no longer accepted as the norm. There is a lot more pressure on devs to put tools in place to prevent that stuff. il serpente cosmico fucked around with this message at 12:30 on Apr 28, 2019 |

MourningView posted:It's pretty hard to see Middleton leaving Yeah, I think it's probably Kemba or bust, but I'm just encouraged that the Mavs seem to recognize their problems are shooting and lack of ball-handlers outside of Luka, as opposed to not enough Europeans And really it's the Mavs so we're not getting Kemba either, though Kemba-Luka-Porzingis who i hope is not a rapist sounds extremely fun
