why do people make politically charged usernames?

all it does is set you up for ridicule. there was this dude named "Imwithher#####" (numbers are blocked due to name and shame policy) so me and my trio all picked azir, taliyah and anivia and started walling people as much as possible and would occasionally type "take your L and like it" and they got PISSED going on incoherent rants about how everybody that doesn't support hillary is a virgin or some shit. Why make it easier for people to ridicule you for being wrong?

Im slightly confused here. Why does "imwithher####" indicate a hilary supporter (EDIT: figured this part out)

and unless I'm missing something the only way you could have seen their name before picking champions was if they were on your team. So you picked 3 wall champions and trolled your own team? Why troll them over a name?

I never said we constantly walled them. we just chose all the wall related champions and occasionally berated them for making a username supporting somebody who failed miserably.

I never said you constantly walled them either lol, where are you getting this? Maybe you got it from your original post:

Can you see why that sounds like you were trolling them?

I can definitely see why it sounds that way, but I doubt a bit of berating counts as trolling.

In all honesty, this just looks like bait.

To make an important point nevertheless: There's a fine line between victim blaming and giving people advice to prevent becoming a victim. However, since you were the person to ridicule them in the first place, that makes it a lot easier. Stop blaming the victims of your actions, take responsibility for your own dickish behaviour.

I'm not blaming them. I'm asking why would they make a username supporting something that could and did fail miserably, only to be forced to carry it around for the next 4 years at a minimum?
