“They” are a bunch of sexual deviants that want to destroy Western civilisation and white people by promoting homosexuality, feminism and transgender ideology
but also they’re pearl-clutching prudes that want to ban whatever fucked up hentai I’m into
Fuck valve for not doing shit about hate speech I just want to play counter strike without dealing with the outrageous amounts of chud ass Nazis on the game. Most interactions I have there just strengthen my wishes for [REDACTED]
CS and a few other games, because of All Talk, have allowed me the unique videogame experience of interrupting a racist’s tirade with a virtual assassination
Which is one of the most satisfying things you can do in a videogame
But that’s not a solution to the problem, just a fun memory, and something players (kids! Minors play these games even if the rating says otherwise!) shouldn’t be dealing with
Dude my proudest moment in gaming was doing this to some guy in Arc Raiders. I’m a super passive, chill, helpful player. I never shoot first.
But there was this one guy at extract that I overheard saying some racist bullshit as I approached. So I creeped around and found a good angle while my friend was distracting them with the normal “are we cool” probing dialogue (we were both pretty sure they were going to try to kill us anyway) and I just popped the fucker twice in the head and dropped him before he knew what was happening. Once his buddy went down we were just like “We don’t like racists” before executing them lmao
The closest you’ll ever get to “including or not including gang violence?”
EU Servers are more chill i guess, those people that try to set speedrun records for fastest N-Word said/typed ingame usually get ridiculed or even kicked. I love to collect hate comments on my profile from malding racist gamers :3 And trust factor is a thing, at this point i only get into shitty lobbies when i play with my polish (implies a lot) friend.
You’re playing a war game. First person shooters were banned for a reason in the DDR
Edit: They’re also a well known military recruitment tool check out the mint press news interview with the FBI whistle blower.
Yes yes I know, and specifically one themed around “counter terrorism” so it attracts specifically the worst of the worst. I just like the strategic skill based nature of it , it’s one of the biggest esports for a reason. I also like milsim though. Shoutout arma reforger at least you can choose to only play as the Soviets and the people on that game tend to be a lot more chill surprisingly enough .
Pretty much every game where you are shooting or commanding troops or any military themed game is a military recruitment tool, don’t be surprised if you’re dealing with right wing military people when playing them that’s their target audience idk if this is true but Mao encouraged his troops to play go as well, but ya I used to like those games a lot as a kid I just prefer to do not do military based bullshit because I’ve done more than enough for those psychos and I find walking my dog listening to podcasts reading or just getting drunk and hanging out with people or hell even tabletop gaming to be a lot more fun and social than video games.

100 percent would rather spend any time I waste on video games getting outside and being around people and nature , but when I am stuck inside and doing stuff I enjoy however problematic I would just like the bare minimum of a muzzle being put on the most obnoxious cis white men that I unfortunately share spaces with so they don’t feel free and emboldened to spew slurs and hateful nonsense . Of course the corporations making billions off of them are not incentivized to do anything about it. Anyone reading this trivial discussion on media though should think about how much they’ve spent on video games or other cultural products and then click the link above and give some support to the people of Gaza .
Ever heard the line that if there is one Nazi in the bar you’re hanging out in you’re in a Nazi bar. You’re never going to get a denazified military recruitment tool because right wing edge lords love the military it’s like watching an american army slop film and complaining about all the propaganda in it that’s the whole reason why it exists. I fucking hate it as well that’s why I just stopped. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twilight_Struggle
That game looks amazing.
Edit: I can’t remember it anymore but when I used to play cs 1 all the characters you could pick had a back story to them (god I used to love the original assault map) most of the terrorist characters were either Muslim or left wing coded idk if counter strike still even has that lore aspect to it I haven’t played it in years.
