The homophobia in this game is so amazing šŸ˜

I love being called a fag whenever i turned on my mic. :heart_eyes:

I love being told that I’m going to hell and that my parents are disappointed in me whenever I try to say there’s a Tracer behind. :heart_eyes:

I love being compared to James Charles just because I have a feminine voice. :heart_eyes:

I just love all the harassment I get in this game for just being a homosexual. :smiling_face_with_three_hearts: It really makes me want to play this AMAZING game 24/7.

I love being called a fag that can only play Mercy when I ask a dps to switch :heart_eyes:

Gosh I just love this game so much :heart_eyes: :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

There is a block button, you know?

If it’s as constant as you say it is, perhaps you’re provoking it somehow. The majority of players don’t care about that sort of thing. And it’s pretty common in this day and age for people to perceive bigotry and oppression where it doesn’t exist.

Mute,Block,Report, and move on we really didn’t need to hear about this when you have every tool needed to deal with people being a nuisance to your gaming.

Let’s cut the crap with this. I agree that the mute, block and report button exist for a reason. But I’ve seen firsthand how all it takes f or someone on your team to be insulting is someone sounding like a young child, gay, black, etc.

People act like we’re playing some fantasy utopia game where we all live in harmony and that could never happen here.

Honestly, if you’re gay, that’s it, i had a friend in College who for about 7 months we never knew he like guys
what are you gonna do, ungay him?

If you’re fun to be around, only small minded little people should care if you like dudes.

I guess the point is why should he have to put up with it in the first place.

Oh, another giant thread about homophobia…

Cause people sound homosexual in mics ? what.

It happened, to everyone. Not just because you’re gay, as a Bastion main I receive a lot of insult during my time in low ranks.

James Charles, huh oof, personally i’m french and this doesn’t help either.

Just mute & report. Best solution.

I don’t support homophobia in any form but you come off as pretty obnoxious so I’m not surprised people are mean to you in game.

tell them that you are a girl. They you will realize you haven’t seen anything yet.

Yes there is such a thing as sounding gay. I am gay and it is a fact.

People suck.

Not saying it’s ok, or right, or even remotely acceptable to bash someone for their voice or sexuality; but this is the Internet. People suck, especially when there is little to no repercussions for them spewing toxicity.

Mute, report, and move on with your day. It shouldn’t be the solution, but it’s all you can do. Don’t let it get to you, strangers don’t actually know you and are just looking for someone to blame.

I can’t tell them I’m a girl. The adams apple doesn’t lie hon.

Absolutely. There’s a certain accent (often called a ā€˜lisp’ although it’s not really exactly that) which is common among men in the gay community but rarely if ever used by anyone who is straight.

Of course, there are also plenty of gay men who don’t speak this way, so it’s also possible to not sound gay even if you are. However, it’s a reliable indicator that if someone does affect that accent that they very likely are gay.

Homophobia and Machism needs to be a permanent bann honestly

You tell that to the old hag that spewed a bunch of transphobic abuse to my face while I was doing nothing more than waiting for my mother while she was being served in a shop. People around. On camera.

The anonymity of the internet makes people so much braver with this, so don’t pretend it’s not happening.

This community is absolutely disgusting. Virtually every reply in this thread sickens me. Just awful human beings really.
