Homophobia

Pufnstuf··6 votes·1,182 views

I played a game today where two people continually called me '%%%%%%' and thus made me reluctant to play. In fact I went in the other room to cry. I understand this is a online game but we need to immediately ban racism, sexism and homophobia. These ppl flaunted they will never get in trouble. Yet I get a 20 minute ban... Note they purposefully change spelling but hate is hate.. Not good guys...More hate here than on the street...

Riot takes racism and homophobia seriously, so make sure you report anyone acting that way. If they were changing the spelling to try and circumvent the system's filter, annotate that in the note section when you submit the report.

If you feel you need to, you can also ask Player Support to have a Player Behavior Specialist look into it personally by submitting a Support Ticket.

Your first option should be to mute people like that though, even if you are going to report them afterwards. Never respond to them in any way that might be considered toxic, because it often just makes the problem worse. Be better than them.

Well they're kind of slow.

Being gay is A-okay in NA (okay, parts of Mexico has to catch up, but USA just followed her sister Canada's footsteps), so using "faggit" nowadays is like using... certain words that should never be okay.

Screw them. They're just assholes.

Stay frosty, my friend. You're worth twenty of them.

Still getting five 20 minute bans makes me feel like the rape victim who had it coming... Seriously.... Maybe Heroes of the Storm is better

essentially the current punishment system is shut up and hope they are punished but you must play regardless... slavery and rape... waiting my 20 minutes 2/5

you don't have to help them win. mute them and farm the jungle. or pretend to fight and forget to use any skills in the teamfight. make sure they lose. that is all you can do

It's funny, when I use the word ''faggot'' I never really use it as a homosexual slur. If you're an asshole and the word ''asshole'' isn't sufficient, I'll call a person a faggot lol.

But yeah, Mute button is usually the best way for you to deal with it. If it was severe enough prior to the mute you might want to report for verbal harrasment. Trust me, people DO get banned.

Asshole is a slur, anything can be a slur. Get over it. But hey, do the League community a favour. Go play HoTs.

The difference is that one word is not acceptable by community standards in any scenario. You are the problem with the community if you use that type of language, not him.

Depends on what community you're in. But no you're right, lets just only use language that hasn't ever offended a group of people before. I'm going to write womyn now as well, since you know. women is misogyny.

Also, anything derogatory to a person isn't acceptable by ''community standards''
