Know what? You start talking about “shooting n*****s right in the dome” on Overwatch in-game chat, I will call you on it, and I will drop out, and yes, including competitive, just like I did last night.

Yeah, I know it hurts my competitive ranking. Particularly last night. I was on a solid streak and looking okay and now I’ve got a mid-match voluntary dropout on my record. I know that, and I will absolutely fucking take that gutshot because FUCK YOU, YOU RACIST SON OF A BITCH.

And I will take your ranking down with me. Hope you like playing five-on-six, dickbag, because you do that shit, it will fucking cost you. Or – I know! – maybe next time I’ll switch to Mei or Symmetra and start griefing you, making damn well sure you know why.

Still so angry. FUCK YOU, OVERWATCH RACISTS. FUCK. YOU. Fuck you, fuck your friends, fuck your rebranded ~~alt-right~~ white nationalism, and just in case you missed it, fuck you.

Fuck you so very, very much.

You know what else I’m sick of? People giving this kind of shit any kind of a pass. Fuck that, too. You let this shit go, you are the problem. Yeah, I said that – you’re not just an accessory, you’re a core part of the problem.

Nobody should fucking play with these shitbags. If you hear that kind of thing go down and you don’t call them on it and don’t drop, I am damned well going to judge you too. There were four other players in that chat who were apparently gonna let that go, and that’s horseshit.

Because these racist fuckers should know: they drop their shit on chat, the game is over. Right then. It should be a fucking guarantee. There’s no neutral ground here, and I am sick of people pretending there is.

RACIST GAMERS FUCK OFF! And racist gamer enablers? Fuck you, too.

Is there any way to report them? Not that most games seem to do much by way of enforcement, although it's possible that it's just invisible.

I hate to say it but they live to get under the skin of anyone who might react as you did here (dropping out/protesting in-game, fine; this rant, it would just give them the lulz).

There really is no good way that I know of to deal with it. If you happen to belong to one of the identity groups they're insulting you can try doing what I do since I was harassed in a similar way years ago: flaunt it. Talk about it incessantly, be what they hate. It's the best defense you've got - not being ashamed or withdrawn or secretive, throwing it in not just theirs but in everyone's faces, without apology or defensiveness.

You're never going to change the haters, and they rarely, if ever, choose to change themselves, and in that rare case when they do choose to, because something or someone has finally opened their eyes to their own needless perversity, it probably won't be because of anything you've said or done in reaction to their hatred, whether your reaction is rational and educational or just pure rant, or falls on any line in between.

That said, I'm sorry you had to go through that. I know how much it bites.
