We should question the leadership, we should fight bad ruling, we should raise our voice.
This goes beyond Overwatch of course too. The world disgust me, it truly does. Everyone has become weak and pathetic it seems. Everyone is offended by everything. Jesus Christ, you told me to man up but it seems most of the world need to do the same.
If you truly take offense from what some stranger say to you in a game, where you even are anonomous, then I feel sorry for you. Not YOU specifically DeadmanWalking, but "You" as a generalization to whoever it might apply to. I mean, what in someones life has made them so mushy, insecure and broken down that they care what a stranger on the internet say. We are not talking about griefing here, where a stranger ruin they gameplay, but strictly written or spoken words.
I don't think I'm that much older (I'm 28) than most people who play the game, but I'm guessing most people who take offence are younger? When I was a kid and played online games, like early Counter Strike, people were "toxic" too, but I never cared. It's not about age, but rather the attitude of society. HOW ON EARTH are the youngsters of today gonna tackle the world later? Cause people like me, who might seem toxic, fight our way in the world, I take what I want and don't care if I make enemies. People like me tend to go kinda far and end up being bosses etc, and we don't hire weak, pathetic and offended people. We don't want people who can't handle real life. This entire mushy "I'm so offended" attitude people have will f*ck them so hard in life. This truly need a change.
I don't know if it's vanity, narcisism or what ever. But this entire "oh poor me, look at me, I'm so sad and offended" makes me puke in my mouth. I see people write on Facebook how they got offended, molested or whatever. Yeah that sucks, but tell the police and not people on social media. This attention for pity is a cancer to the world. And it exist in my favorite games too...
