To be fair, it's probably difficult to stay up-to-date on what's socially acceptable when you live in a basement and game nonstop.

Seems like it has quite the reputation

Valorant has received criticism for its toxic, male-dominated voice communication system. Emily Rand of ESPN talked about her negative experience playing on teams using the voice communication function as a female. Rand "flat-out [refuses] to use it at all" when she isn't playing with her friends.[54] Jordon Oloman of The Guardian explains how "the bad apples among Valorant's players expect an absurd level of perfection, and the resultant voice-chat criticism is hardly constructive."[55]

Though that doesn't sound much different than what I experienced in the Halo/Gears of War/CoD days. I remember one particular match of Gears of War where one guy on my team just yelled "White Power" and "Fuck N*****s" the entire match and never said anything else. You just hope there's enough good experiences to outweigh the negative.

Yeah see, you can live in a basement and still stay on top of things going on in the world, but the rub there is that you have to go somewhere else besides an online game lobby to do it.

I still get death threats just playing online video games on the daily. Not much has changed in that realm.

I stay on top of things by visiting CE. I also would get mods up my ass if I said anything bad so CE also teaches me how to be civilized.

People still say slurs, yes. In general.

Theres never going to be a point where people stop saying slurs. Some communities are worse than others though. DOTA2 is extremely bad

But these guys don't do that, is my point.

I had a dude in my lobby the other day tell a kid he hopes his whole family dies. Online toxicity is alive and well.

Plenty of games have codes of conduct and terms of use, its how well those are enforced.
