Is stereotype bashing someone's political affiliation reportable?

Title^ *Context, just got out of a game where an enemy would call all trump supporters Idiots, rats, thieves, and liars; because my clan tag had associations with him.

In most cases, it's not the exact words or phrases used, but how they're used. If somebody is harassing you, it doesn't really matter what's being said, since the intent behind it is harassment. So definitely, report it. If the person harasses other players often (regardless of reason), and enough people are reporting them for it, they will be punished.

That sounds a lot like Hate Speech to me. Any kind of verbal harassment because of a prejudiced conclusion is pretty much classified as such, its not just racial and homophobic slurs. So if someone was harassing you on the sole premise that you are or may be a Trump supporter, that could be very well considered Hate Speech.

It has to be. If you get punished for insulting someone's sexual orientation, race, or religion, then insulting someone's political views must be punished as well.

depends on whether they're legitimately being like these tards

or whether it's just political banter.

I.E spamming "small loan of a million dollars" in the chat would probs be cool. what you described would most likely would not.

Remember when videogames were all about videogames and not about idiotic kids trying to hide behind a political banner to feel less powerless and irrelevant in real life? I do, and it was such a happy and fun time.

It's not a stereotype if it's true

But for real, aren't Trump supporters always the ones calling liberals "snowflakes". This sure seems like a snowflake post to me lol.
