How gamers in SA portray themselves.

Try running arena in World of Warcraft with Russians. So I guess in a way the internet will spawn its own form of racism.

Anyways. Yeah, it sucks, people act horrible in on line games. League of Legends came up with an 'up vote' system which actually improved it incredibly -- people who perform well are rewarded, and there's always the report option for nothing other than people being rude.

In general though, you just gotta say 'fuck it' and get on with it. I'm addicted as hell to League so I don't know what to do in other games, but if I'm running into people being annoying I'll do something horrible, like play Darius or AP Yi or (gasp) Poppy or Mordekaiser, because they won't stand a chance, or even if they do, they'll get unbelievably annoyed. Then I laugh and tell my mom. I'm so hard core.

Let's also remember that being a woman is an instant ticket to internet'al damnation by men who find the idea of estrogen not only frightening but down right blasphemous; men whose parents are also their siblings, and men whose highest aspiration and claim to fame is that they managed to pass metric with at a stellar 45%, because, remember, that means you almost got more right than wrong, and people who will, one day, due to their inability to purvey any sort of social intellect or human decency, wind up cleaning bathrooms at a McDonalds.

I don't see the point of this thread. In my 4 years of online play I've only experienced this once and it was from a bunch of international players. Sure you get the odd douche but the easiest way to handle them is just to ignore them, they soon get bored. Having played over 1000 hours of tf2 in the last year, and knowing a bunch of girls that also play I've never heard or seen the type of abuse you're describing. Not saying it didn't happen but it certainly is the exception.

Ima Afrikaans guy FYI.

I did actually read the whole thing (whew!) and I agree. It has nothing to do with thick skin and what not, the SA community are by and large a bunch of assholes and most threads that point this fact out, will have those self same assholes in here telling you it's all ok. I left the FPS 'community' behind because of the bullshit, no big loss.
You'll also find that the 'higher' someone is (in their fantasy standings) or how many more sycophants someone has, the bigger of a twat they are. One just has to look at 90% of premier division teams in BF3 or CoD4 to see that they are full of those types.

At the end of the day, yes, ignore it and either report them if the function exists (admins and mods) or move along to another server.

The truth in this post is over 9000.
 
to be honest, i find this quite funny, the fact that a lady has posted this has made most guys here act quite mature and give valid points and advice, now, if i had said the same thing, i would have got " whatever noob" "get over it, stop whining" "jou ma" etc etc etc

My opinion still stands. Op must change the title of the thread. 1 Bad game of CS:GO, does not show the maturity level of the SA comunity.

I don't think so lol,it depends in the manner it's posted in.

If a guy posted on here claiming how he was owning players with his skills and they were calling him names because they aren't as good as him then i would probably bash on him right away.

quite true :D

But im sure all of us wouldve backed you up if some 1 called you something as horrible as an American.


But jokes aside

Im prolly the biggest Douche on these forums but i dont take like okes tuning the girls while i play and the constant flirting with them annoys me more than it does them. So i completely share their frustration.

lol

I get called this on CS:GO since its my first time playing CS ever (I tried CS 1.6 for about a minute)
Was concentrating so much to at first I dint realise they talking to me :D
 
@Wisper
I had a similar experience in Dota 2 recently with Russians refusing to speak english. They started laughing and speaking Russian all the time with my name somewhere in the middle. It's not just South Africans, it's not just Russians, it is just assholes. They live all around the world and they make life hard for everyone

Also you mentioned this guy said he was in the top 12. Meaning he thinks of himself as a great player. Now you come along and own his ass. Obviously he's not going to be too happy about it and it was just unlucky for you that he wasn't mature enough to handle that embarrassment.
