How far is too far with trash talking on videogames?
>>
>>740200653
It's like a sport, you should say whatever you need to in order to get in a person's head
>call them a slur
>make fun of immutable things about them (skin color, gender, etc)
>saying something completely out of line ("this is probably why your mom killed herself, you play like ass")

If you get into someone's zone it's too much.

If you notice someone's zone it's okay. I don't think it's nice to defile a players zone, even if they are comfortable with the outcome of the match. Letting people constantly swap in and out of working headspaces for purposes banter is dangerous and can create serious psychological drama.

let the play speak for itself, but if you start it i want to ruin part of your day

i told someone i hope someone in their family gets brain cancer and they said already has and said their mom died from it then i said good

i think competitive videogames are bad for me
>>
>>740203407
Yeah you know I don't normally report people for saying retarded shit, but most of the time that's all they do. Very rarely does banter become griefing. In most cases I just ignore them or mute them, or try to play along, but there are times when they actively disrupt the game for other players and then I just lose all interest in their humanity.

he didn't do anything besides overly target me and i got irritated
>>
>>740203627
Targeting the same player in a squad based shooter is probably griefing.

Like if we're playing CS2 and I awp you first every round, you can safely say I want you to be miserable; especially if it's casual.

>>740203689
well do you really not think what i said was over the line

one time i added some guy after a game and told him i hope he gets in a car accident, then he said he's a double quadraplegic

I don't really believe in superstitions so no I don't think what you did was insane.

It's just a thing people do when they don't want to take accountability for the things they say, they create chain letters or prophesy things that are mean spirited.
>>
>>740203875
what would be superstitious about that i think you misunderstood me
>>
>>740203936
It would be superstitious in that you hope something bad happens, and the consequences of "bad," surround the person, but never the personality.
>>
>>740203757
I would think that guy's using his disability as a weak shield to dodge insults cause he brought it up for no reason.
True trashtalking would abuse that piece of into about him.

>>740200653
Ropes.

>>740204221
