been playing wardogs a lot, but I think I've had my fill at this point cause of voip. Nothing but bigotry and slurs and "what if we were all gay guys haha" humor. Text chat is just as bad, had someone saying Japan used to be "honorable" when they were "conquering countries" and idk it's rust all over again; really fun game driven by social interactions that's ruined by the social interactions. Seems like it'd be a lot of fun with friends, but I don't have any that play and it's impossible to make friends with people like that being a part of every vocal interaction. Why's this gotta be my taste in games, I hate this shit

I guess I get where you are coming from ? My point was just that A LOT of multiplayer gaming (and we are talking about massive communities here) Are very racist and casual slur usage is very common. Which I dont think should be understated. But yes ofc there are plenty other games that are much more chill than say a Call of Duty Lobby.

    Idk, it just sounds to me like you're reading into it that by "4chan crowd" I mean some like tiny population that happens to play these games. The 4chan crowd is enormous. The 4chan crowd currently runs the US government.

    I do remember seeing a lot of racism in Battlefield 1942, which came out a year before 4chan launched, so yeah I think there's a lot of mainstream racism independent of 4chan. But then again, 4chan has been embedded in honkey culture now for a long-ass time. There are people who graduated college and are now having kids who were born after /b/ became a thing.
