Since the Black Ops 1 & 2 ports came to PS5 a couple months ago, I have been playing the zombies mode quite a lot and often when I do, I like to hop on the mic and just talk about whatever with whoever I happen to matchmake with. Zombies games typically last at least half an hour and sometimes multiple hours so as you might be able to imagine people tend to open up, share stories and share their views on the world.

Unfortunately, in my experience, racism, the horrible fucking casual and sometimes not so casual racism of these people always seem to shows itself just as I am growing fond of them. And if it isn’t racism, it’s homophobia, sexism, transphobia, islamophobia, anti-semitism, ableism and so on.

And so it is clear, I am not talking here of a shitty offensive joke that I don’t like, I am talking of calling muslims talibans, shitskins, pa-is, claiming Jews are all Epstein Islanders that rule the world, the worst slurs you know coming out their mouth like it’s nothing, using gay as an insult, complaining about blue haired trans women developers ruining Call of Duty, making really degrading toxic comments about women that I don’t even wish to share here, calling me a r**ard or sp-z for doing something they didn’t like.

I am so sick of it guys, like the disappointment every time that I am getting hopeful of making a friend and the fascist hatred crawls out… it’s the frequency of it you know? Once or twice a month, so be it that’s CoD I guess, multiple times a week? Fuck, fuck, fuck I hate it so much.

I just quit the game immediately when it happened to me again, and if you’re host on BO1, which I was, then it ends the game. Hopefully the guy will learn there are consequences to being a piece of shit.
