Regarding the toxicity of 2k multiplayer:

Happy Friday!


You guys can close this down if it's too spicy.



So, I been playing 2k back on ps4, where people actually are. Feels good. On the mic, too. I wanted to make a statement and also question if other people have had similar experiences.



People been saying "U TRASH" when you miss your first shot or when you don't pass them the ball, as you continue to lose, they keep yapping. Got into some 'discussion' with a dude about whether or not he has ever played bball, and he was like YA BUT THAT DONT MATTER. It's like... actually it does, then he started taking about his stats and teammate grade and was going in until he realized he was wrong and that I had an A+ and just as many rebs as he did. Then he started calling me an A-rab. haha. I'm not Middle Eastern at all, but like... what is this? And it's not like he said it once. That was just what he went in on.


Then met this other dude who after saying trash when straight to the CRACKER thing. I'm not a "cracker", either, but the hatred in this dudes voice when he was calling me a cracker and telling me "KYS" (with the phrase.) Personally, due to life circumstance, I have a problem w/ that meme, but I realize it's kind of spread so...


I mean, I met dudes who were nice, too. Met some dudes who were kinda messing up but they were on the mic like my bad, yknow. Met a dude on the other team who cut on his mic and was trying to give my boy advice on a build that was wetter, said gg and all. But... mainly I wanna know when did this happen?



When did 2k become racist? I mean I know most of these dudes are pretty young, but the dude who called me an A-Rab wasn't.



Also, how do we stop this without like... snitching. I asked the dude who kept saying CRACKER CRACKER CRACKER if he'd ever seen Good Will Hunting. Then I just kept saying "It's not your fault..." haha. It strangely worked tho. Like some goos frabba ish. It's just crazy tho... no one you spend 7-10 minutes of your life with should put such hatred on you.

Welcome to the internet, we have missed you.

The 2K community is very toxic, but nothing tops 2006-2012 COD. Thank goodness parties are an option.

Boooooooy those COD Xbox Live lobbies! If you can survive those, you can survive anything! 🤣

It's interesting. I wonder if this response is similar in something like FIFA ( or another sport with a large amount of people that have [at least] casually tried with others irl).

Play now is completely different. It seems people kinda give up on themselves quick on the mic.

I've had a grown man laugh at me on the mic and accuse me of cheesing because I was..****NNING plays.

Nothing more needs to be said about the 2K community.

I think that's just online gaming in general. It's the main reason why I never mic up in any game. I'm not trying to make friends, and I'm not trying to hear nonsense. Truthfully, I don't want to hear your damn music, your phone conversations, your kids in the background, your constant b*tching about the game and/or teammates, your unsolicited advice on how to play, your opinions about whatever hot topic, etc.

I just want people to STFU and play the game as it was intended to be.

I feel u. I been on net. I been in chat rooms back when they were a thing. But what I'm saying is this is surprising to me. I'm not offended per se just kind of surprised.

Maybe it's covid. I get on mic cuz when u play team games coms can help. But Yea the music and babies thing is true. But I mean I never recall people trying to be racist before on 2k.



It's whatever haha I guess dudes are not worried. Gg then.
