I'm in my home you are at yours. I don't know you right. anything you say its just words. how could people get offended by words by other players. just finish the game and move on. its not like there putting there hands on you. when i see people complaining about other players saying things it just doesn't make any cense.

Because words mean things, and some words carry hatred in the very fiber of what they are. If you can't respect the fact that words carry very specific connotations, then you shouldn't be using them to begin with. Furthermore, the "I'm at home, you're at home, don't be offended" argument is just plain ignorant because you know very well that you specifically choose your words to put down or insult other people. You are deliberately using the language you choose to elicit a very specific reaction, and any claims otherwise and this claim that people shouldn't be offended by your offensive language is just absolutely stupid. Instead of telling people not to be offended, how about you stop being nasty to people and pick your words more carefully?

The right question isn't "Why do people get offended by words."

The right question is "What makes people think that shit talking behind a screen makes someone a big man?"

If words don't make any of us feel anything, we wouldn't be reading books, watching movies, or listening to music.

Words are important.

Well, I'm Indian but not Hindu, yet people still ask me how my religion works with all the "Hare Krishnas and Elephant people," and that offends me. As those are words, I am therefore offended by words.

It's like asking how do people get shot and killed by a gun.

Why do people like what they like? In fact, why do people have emotions? We ought to be robots. Robots with fricken lasers on their heads. ZAP!

Riot bans for flaming because flamers are like whiny little dogs that bark too much that every hates. You irritate people trying to play the game with your incessant prattle, and Riot removes you so you will cease to be an irritant. It is really as simple as that.

In my case you don't hurt my feelings, you frustrate me because you are decreasing my chances to win while acting like a spoiled brat. I report so other people won't have to deal with the person, not for any sense of revenge.

that's what happen when you get bullied young or be a soft person. ouu he said a bad word ouu like i care it's just letters on a screen ignore him or mute him and move on. i prefer toxic players over bad players anyday of the week tbh. i dont say be toxic tho i say dont be so fucking soft and it's not the kids that are soft its the older players the kids are the one who rage and flame the most in the 1st place you aint protecting young players from bad languange and bullying they are the ones who do it. Just go to a local Net and see how many kids that barely reach the damn table shout shit and type shit in chat playing league it's hillarious really
