Idk what you consider racist. Some people think that you are racist if you tell them to go support.

To be quite honest - and you're not gonna like this. But racism is a natural mechanism of survival. 'Birds of a feather flock together" - Thousands of years have taught all animals to differentiate between "their kind" and "your kind" - Many studies have shown this, even studies regarding babies who are 1 - 3 years old. The babies tend to punish other races harsher than their own - or give snacks to their own race at a disproportionate volume compared to another race.

by thousands you mean millions? KappaGod

No I mean Thousands - The Modern Human evolved sometime around 50,000 to 200,000 years ago. Civilization only about 6,000 Years ago. The Earth may be millions of years old - but humans are not.

why

they are not racist. they just use random words to vent their frustration.

These re-occuring words that are spammed in my chat logs are TOTALLY random then. Never thought about it that way.

Because the random 13-19yr old can say anything and everything that comes into their twisted warped mind without consequences or repercussions. Very easy to be tough and offensive from behind a keyboard.

You're level 10.... I'm pretty sure your opinion is a bit biased from the underbelly of the community being low level smurfs.

His main prob got banned for called out racist activity in game. Happened to my acct

All i blo b loud1 votes

so how do we get riot to see that this is a problem and damages people

Itankyou2 votes

They don't even ban racist clan tags... it could start there?

I Q1 votes

They do see the problem and ban people everyday for it. The only thing is it takes a lot of time, and money to do so. So what they do is ban in "waves" and ban many people at once. It is hard for you to see it because getting to level 10 doesnt take that long, the people who previously were banned made another account and came back and did the same thing. Just wait until you are level 30, it gets better! [slayer-jinx-catface] Just avoid Riven, Vayne, and ADC mains cuz they're toxic (JK)

I Q1 votes

Don't you think that is a bit rude? Calling him "underbelly"?

All i blo b loud2 votes

ty

Comrade Guylas1 votes

I didn't call him underbelly. His opinion is biased from the underbelly of the community existing within low level environments as smurfs who are probably toxic on their mains.

I Q1 votes

Implying he is underbelly.

Comrade Guylas1 votes

How is that implying he is part of the underbelly of the community.

As was pointed out already, just because people use words that denigrate a race or a sexual orientation or whatever does not make them racist or homophobic or sexist or anything. People use words to be hurtful. Unless someone knows that a person is black, calling them the N word is not racist, it is used to be hurtful.

Chorosphere1 votes

no thats definitely racist because thats saying that calling them black is an insult, calling them gay is an insult and calling them a woman is an insult its saying that these people are worth less because they are black, gay etc its saying that that person thinks that you being black is shameful and disgusting

if you use racial slurs you are racist if you use homophobic slurs you are homophobic if you use misogynistic slurs you are sexist

its a pretty simple concept

No, some people say things that they know other people will find offensive. Calling a British person a Pom would be offensive to the British person even if the person saying that has nothing against British people. Just like you see black dudes getting angry and calling other black dudes the N word, do they seriously hate black people, or do they know that the other guy is going to get offended by the term.

Calling someone gay or whatever is very often not homophobic, people know that THE OTHER PERSON will be offended by the insult. It isn't because they think being gay makes them worth less, it's simply because they know the other person will take offense.

It is actually a very simple concept: Do the most damage with an insult.
