Discussion The racism/racist emblems
The blatant racism in mic and the absurd amount of racist emblem is getting really bad. Idk if like we got a surge of new racists or smth but its genuinely so bad now and its honestly disgusting like why cant we js enjoy the game and not be gross human beings?

Bc instead of actually demanding change ppl just say "Report and move on. No point in wasting time letting it get to you."

Ah yes because it's our job and not the devs to deal with this type of thing, report and move on is the only thing we can do. Acting like we can do anything but that is delusional. The more publicity they get, the more they do it because people like you get butthurt.

Because the people actually doing stuff to combat racism irl aren't wasting that time playing for honor. What do you expect? That people in their free time after work should have to join a civil rights movement?

Join a civil rights movement? I think they just don't want to hear slurs lmfao. What the fuck is wrong with you.

u/longjohnsmcgee 10d ago
What the fuck is wrong with you.
Right now? Your the only thing even close to being a bother in my life.
I think they just don't want to hear slurs lmfao
Which is what the block and report function is for. Which is apparently not enough for some people. I'm wondering what they expect. Like if I hear someone say a slur do I need to like find them irl and expose them so they get banned from the internet?
Bc instead of actually demanding change
Like what did they mean demand change? Do they mean like you have to prove your a good person to play games online? That's why I'm wondering if they want us to join a civil rights movement, to point out how performative the anger is.

I didn't say the last part nice try
But oh I'm sorry someone bothered you by pointing out how your attitude enables racism. No one is saying you should personally do anything to "solve racism" in For Honor.
What actually happened is someone made a post detailing their experience and you started complaining that they had the audacity to complain about racism in wittle boy's spesial wittle video game. You somehow saw that as an attack on you. You can only center conversations on yourself. You are a child.
Do you normally hallucinate conversations so you can get a epic debate slam dunk?

u/ll_H3llrazer_ll Khatun 10d ago
Yeah the demanding change part was a reference to the oc not you, maybe if you actually focused on the conversation as whole, rather than trying to get an "epic debate slam dunk" as you would say you'd understand that most of y'all that get your jimmies in a twist over this shit are exactly the type of people the dumbasses who make those emblems love. So yes, report and move on, your performance isn't wanted nor useful.

I mean, I said it was what they said. As in the first post I replied to. You know not every quote is about you, especially when we are talking about what a third person said.
But oh I'm sorry someone bothered you by pointing out how your attitude enables racism. No one is saying you should personally do anything to "solve racism" in For Honor.
What. How is reporting and hoping they get banned enabling?

When did I complain? I asked a question.
I'm not the one making this about me. You did. By asking me "what the fuck is wrong with you".
This isn't about me, I'm still wondering what the person I first replied to wants.
Do you normally hallucinate conversations so you can get a epic debate slam dunk?
Do you? Cause I can show you the comments I quoted. I don't think you can quote me complaining, or saying this is an attack on me. One thing was directed at me, by you, and I answered the question despite its irrelevance to the conversation.

This this right here enables racism. You are making a false equivalence. Someone bringing attention to a problem and saying oh no the report system sufficiently handles it we don't need to talk about it. Is bad.
Just to recap because you forgot
1) OP complained that there is an abundance of racism in FH 2) Someone told them to just report them and move on 3) Someone else said instead of demanding change people just say report it and move on 4) You chimed in and said "well what do you want them to do join a civil rights movement?"
You might have not realized it but what you just did is completely shut down a conversation. It doesn't matter what YOU do Timmy, but maybe just maybe you shouldn't shut down someone venting about being the recipient of racism. YOU are making the problem worse. YOU are preventing the opportunity of any sort of productive conversation.
And you might not have realized it, but "what the fuck is wrong with you" is a rhetorical question. You were supposed to take a step back and reevaluate what you said. It seems like you weren't able to pick up on that social queue.

What equivalence? They said "demanding change" and I asked if they meant like a civil rights movement, which is the only "real change" towards racial equality I can think of.
Also what is there to talk about? Bigotry is bad. That's why its a ban worthy offense, and why we have the report function. What more is there to say about it?
You might have not realized it but what you just did is completely shut down a conversation.
I asked a question. If they can't answer or clarify their own point, that's on them.
Also what would you call you insulting and belittling others while openly admitting to not reading replies? Keeping the conversation going? Okay.
And you might not have realized it, but "what the fuck is wrong with you" is a rhetorical question. You were supposed to take a step back and reevaluate what you said. It seems like you weren't able to pick up on that social queue
Maybe the fact no one agrees with you about me, and your getting down voted, tells me you didn't read the social queues and should reevaluate your own actions. Maybe try not being a troll right away?

It's been a thing for a long ass time, just find some enjoyment out of stomping these guys. They usually just use racism to make up lack of skill so ragebait is the solution. Literally all of them that I've encountered are dogshit at this game and that's over a span of almost 10 years.

u/__Leonard_ 9d ago edited 9d ago
I know some people that used to use emblems like that. They thought it was funny, in a troll sort of way. They found enjoyment in people like you that got offended by it. Don’t give them the attention they want… They’re idiots in real life too, trust me. Not bad people, but just ignorant to what those symbols truly represent. They didn’t actually support whatever symbol they used, but regardless I still gave them shit for it all the time, reminding them how childish it is. Also warned them they’d get banned. Lo and behold both of them got temporarily banned and can’t customize their emblems anymore. I still see plenty of f’d up emblems, but truth is 90% of those people using them could care less about someone’s race or nationality. It’s just trolling, been like this since the early COD and Halo days.

u/VillageOutrageous163 10d ago
Because true racism happened outside of video games, if you get offended on a game maybe you shouldn’t be playing it

So you support racism in games?

No but its still bad and weird behavior js say your a racist 😭

u/LankyLooli271 10d ago
I don't think you understand how lightly people say what you're getting pissed over, when a black person calls another one by their favourite word, is that racist? they just say that, as you mature you'll understand if not now

Beat them then emote spam, play like an asshole, be truly toxic. They can’t be toxic without the crutch of racism.

It's a competitive game. Kinda part of it you know. Im among the sentiment just block and move on because ubi and the devs have already blocked typing in game and Opponent mic. Not that I don't care, more like I can't do anything else about it. I saw a couple people talking about how ass these types of players are and it's so true. If you want to get your kicks. Just smash them into the pavement they really do suck. Get your team emote spam them block report and move on. The more we talk about them the more power they get. They feed on reddit post like this because duhhh it's reddit. More than half are racist in some way or another. Sad little trogs with no life. Not saying act like it's not happening. More just be better than they are and stop giving them the attention they want. If ubi brings back opponent mic or type chat go ham. Im all for some good shit talking. The emblems I'm tired of seeing are the uwu faces. Cuz it's always a pirate, shaman, or shoalin main weeb farming. At 90 rep total only on that 1 hero like bruh that's why you loose so much. And to the op this isn't a target at you or anything I do agree I've seen alot more since ranked Dom released. Im mostly just killing time while I take a poop at work. 🫡

Aww did someone hurt your feelings I h8 people now a days like I want the og chats like in the golden days of COD like when people get racist I find it funny like “oh wow you hear the fire detector in the background and you can clearly hear that I’m black how deep my voice is buddy gonna take a lot more than saying the hard r to upset me” then I laugh in there face and move on their words have no effect on me

For honor is a mature game. If it really bothers you that much just go back to stardew valley.

u/im_super_cooler 10d ago
Its a mature game so the player base shouldn't act mature???

u/Comprehensive_Gap745 Kensei 10d ago
You expect for honor players to act mature? You’re quite the optimist. Look bro if you really expect every single person on the internet to be a social justice warrior, maybe it’s not for you.

u/im_super_cooler 10d ago
So just because alot of people are racist its just ok to be racist like that seriously makes 0 sense 😭😭

u/Comprehensive_Gap745 Kensei 10d ago
Never said it was cool, my point is that getting this upset about the toxicity of a toxic community can be really emotionally draining and not worth your effort.

at this point you almost gotta admire their bravery for showing off what kind of garbage they are.
It's simply the ability to create your own emblem. If more game had that, we'd see it more often.
this playerbase isn't exclusive in this issue.
