So I guess it still exists and there doesn’t appear anything is being done about these clowns who at the start of the match ask in match chat if anyone wants to engage in sexual intercourse with them and to add them to bnet.
This is just horrid that these incels are allowed to play this game and reporting them does NOTHING.
What should I do? will screenshotting it and putting a link to imgur help?
You keep using that word. I don’t think it means what you think it means. Random people asking other random people if they want to have sex is not sexism. Sounds more like they’re just joking anyway. Mute and report if it bothers you that much. Personally, I just roll my eyes and laugh at them.
Sexual Harrassment then ? I reported this same creep last month and they are still doing it.
I’ve been playing this game for 7 years almost and I can safely say that I have never seen anybody type something along the lines of asking for sex. I’m sorry to hear that that happened considering it bothers you as much as it did, but it’s not as if there are players en masse sexually harassing people.
Dear Lindz, on behalf of the “good guys”, im sorry you ran into some squares. Their very reason for being vulgar and offensive is to get a reaction and get under your skin. I hope they get banned but theres bad eggs in any basket (online games) and its the people in real life behind the computer too. Lotta ugly in the world unfoetunately
This happens in every game. Not just Overwatch. The internet isn’t for everyone.
This doesn’t make it okay, I mostly see it in overwatch.
Still exists? What exactly do you propose is done to eliminate this sort of behavior from humanity?
The term incel is really not very nice; if you’d like people to behave better you should look to your own behavior first.
Reporting them won’t immediately remove them from your game, for many reasons. But if people report them they’ll be muted; Blizzard has started cracking down harder on abusive chat/voice but it’s never going to be so perfect it proactively stops people from behaving this way.
Mute voice/chat and move on with your life. Why are you in such distress from what a random person you don’t know and will likely never interact with again has said over anonymous voice chat?
I literally saw someone yesterday, someone on my team towards the enemy moira:
“{name} if we win, i get to bum ya”
that was an easy report.
i dont think TS knows meaning of the very term that they are using
I’ve had my fair share of sexual harassment in this game, but I never saw this happening. o.0
And this hardly seem as harassment.
If some one goes up to me and ask if I want to have intercourse with them, I wouldn’t consider that sexual harassment. It is an honest question, and we are both adults so nothing wrong here. If I say no, and they insist now that is a different story…
I get feedback from blizzard pretty regularly that me report ended up in them taking an action against reported player.
So it does something. But this is fight with windmills, or with hydra. You eliminate one, the 2 new ones appear.
No it won’t help. Actually it will be against ToS to do so, since it will be starting a ‘witch hunt’ against a player.
“Feet pics or I throw”
This person in fact threw the game in ranked
I do not harras anyone and never seen this in game. The OP must have figured it all out.
Imagine now be offended by something in an online game.
Asking for sex in the text chat isn’t sexual harassment, especially if it’s in a video game where that’s physically impossible. It’s weird, but like, it’s nothing, literally nothing. If it’s bothersome to you then mute them.
Actually, you can still sexually harass people in the video game. But just asking a question is not it, I agree.
Mb I confused harassment with assault
No problem.
And yeah, Assault is impossible here.
Never happened to me! Is there something wrong with me???
Here is how you fix it. The devs cannot fix it, only you can.
And if all else fails, log off of the game and go do something else.
If it is the same person repeatedly(as you mentioned in one reply), you need to contact customer services and report that way (as well as in-game.)
Most people who talk this way are daft people who haven’t grown up yet. Just mute them and go about your day, they’re idiots.
