I keep encountering white supremacists / extreme racists in games

I have been encountering an alarming number of racists and extreme hate speech in this game lately.

I just put in a ticket with screenshots of yet another racist / hate speech player who not only had an extremely racist summoner name but also had a club name that used a veiled phrase used by white supremacists today.

I didn't notice any of this until he started ranting about jewish people and homosexual people in chat. Then I saw his disgusting screen name and his club name.

I muted him but then after the game he was still spamming chat with this extremely racist garbage. So then I reported him but also took a screenshot and put in a ticket.

We must be vigilant because the alt-right movement is real and pervasive especially on the internet and in the gaming world. Report them all. Riot has a zero tolerance policy against this kind of stuff and the need the help of decent players to root it out.

Most of it is probably trolling, edgelord kids who want to see how many people they can tilt and take down with them.

Squelching speech and banning people isnt the way to fight the "alt-right movement"... report them for hate speech and racism, sure. But dont act like youre vigilantly fighting some kind of political movement lol. Youre just reporting a troll who's trying to offend people in a video game. Two very different things. You should leave politics out of it, as that is against the board rules to discuss.

Yes, you should be clearly vigilant!

How dares anyone share an opinion, what you do not like. BAN THEM ALL!

EDIT: I hope you know this just gives them more validation ;)

Maybe if people didn't see those things in everything nowadays we could take a thread like this seriously.

Did they use too many ok handsigns or said PepeHands too many times for you?

I've known about the alt-right for something like 6 years, long before the average person even knew of such a thing. Since the election of Donald Trump, the alt-right exploded in popularity and stormed the gates of mainstream consciousness. It's no surprise that their disgusting little man child club can be found here of all places today. Americans need to get serious about this evil before it's too late. If you told me 6 years ago that everyone would know what the alt-right is, I'd have laughed at you. Who knows what they would become 10 years from now if it's not stopped now. We could be looking at the Nazi Germany in the US, something I once thought ridiculous.

Vast majority of these people arent racist or white supremacists. They do it to offend you so they can laugh at you when you respond.
