[Serious] Do you guys think this is harassment?

I visit the League of Legends subreddit from time to time (maybe I'm slightly masochistic) and I find videos like this.

For those of you who don't know, this is from a series called "League of Children" where it shows games of players acting like children in League.

Today, on the front page of r/leagueoflegends was this video

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XtaKd_L-ADc

For those who don't know, they player they refer to is "Tyler1" a twitch streamer who is known for being toxic. Tyler has 17 permabanned accounts, and he is actually famous for being so toxic. Because of this, Imaqtpie, Annie bot, and IWD start to harass Tyler (making fun of how strong he is, this is referece to another video).

Personally, I think what QT, Annie, and IWD did was wrong. While I do not particularly care for Tyler, I think the trio was trying to bait him into being toxic.

Believe me I understand that Riot's position on things is "context doesn't matter", but personally, I don't think what the trio did was fine either.

On another note, do you think this series "League of Children" is also harassment?

What do you guys think?

It really depends, but either way unless you harass them, put them down, or use profanity, I don't think you will receive a punishment.

If a guy gets banned 17 times that's sort of his thing isn't it? At that point it's just part of the show IMO.

i haven't seen what league of children is about, but if its anything like what i am imagining, then us going "dis gud" with popcorn when seeing permabanned post is the same. especially when they start argueing about free speech and how they don't deserve it.

now is that harassment? technically yes. but then again, how can i live without my daily dose of tantrum?
