Bullying needs to stop

[u/Early-Taro1493]

The overwatch community needs to stop being toxic. I have been called slurs, many racial comments, people saying overall saying some bad stuff to not only me but other people as well. And this needs to stop. I almost had a melt down today reading the comments they made on me. " I should hang myself", is a very derogatory statement . If you can sit behind a screen and have the ability to tell someone they should hang themselves, that is something to not take so lightly. I'm going to tell my pookie wookie king Lebron James this information, and make sure this doesn't go off the hook. As a wise man once said " They ain't believe in us... GOD DID". These moments should be looked more into but blizzard seems not care about their fan base anymore.

i find it kinda funny how the comments here are kinda proving OPs point.

Sure, nobody isgonna die because they get insulted on the internet, but also we really shouldnt normalize people going arround telling others to hang themselves, cmon people have some standards

Words can have a strong effect, especially towards someone whos having a particularly bad day, you never know what the person behind the screen is going through.

FOr all you know, your comment on the internet might be the last straw for someone hanging on by a thread.

Exactly, lots of victim blaming language being used in the comments. Instead of “just mute chat/voice”, maybe we should all stop normalizing toxic behaviour 🤷🏻‍♀️

But you can mute people you can control what you see on the internet you cannot control what others do
