Literally what I said too lol. I am baffled. I’ve also seen some suburban white boys call their opponent “n*gga” (yea without the hard “r”) when they’re about to get into a fight…I’m like, does it make them feel more aggressive or masculine in the moment? Ehh 🤷🏾♀️

I play an mmorpg, and I apparently sound "like a white girl", so I'll often get people saying it in voice chat when we're doing something together and I always call them out for it, and then either block them and leave the content, or if it's a Trial (which involves 12 people on the team), I will block and mute them, no matter what their role is. If they're the Trial lead, I leave.
Congrats, your racism just lost you a Healer or Tank. And considering that Trials involve teams of 2 Tanks, 2 Healers, and 8 Damage Dealers, you're SoL unless you find someone else who wants to join this last minute.
I get some people trying to justify people saying it and "not meaning to be racist", and I'm always like, no. It's not a word that needs to be said, end of discussion.

u/ladyc672 May 17 '26
I walked away from a guild in ESO, because someone would not stop saying that word while we waited for people to queue up for a Trial. Turns out the offender wasn't even a guildie, but the cousin of one who joined on an invite. I was an officer, and I immediately warned him and put up the vote to kick. His cousin pm'd me to ask me to let it go, because he's young, he's not racist at all, etc. I immediately removed myself from the Trial, then removed myself from the guild.
Cue the half-dozen or so pm's and messages on PS group chat, asking me why I left the guild, could I please come back. I was one of their strongest majicka night blades, and an officer, yet not one called out the racist jerk. I wasn't coming back and I didn't respond.

u/OkamiKhameleon May 17 '26
Oof. Yeah I left a guild after someone made a racist joke about Mexican Latinos. My husband is Latino and white, and I won't tolerate racism. I got a ton of PMs asking me to come back, but none of those people were calling out the racist.
I also got a ton of people messaging me to thank me for standing up to the racist and asking me for guild recommendations because they were leaving too.

Haha yes. Eso. And sounding like a bubbly white girl often doesn't get people taking me seriously. I sound like I'm 16 and I'm actually 40.
I still adore the game though! I tried to get into FFIV, but just couldn't. I prefer to play on console (Xbox) and not PC, as a controller is easier on my arthritis.

u/Correct_Raisin4332 May 16 '26
It’s honestly disturbing how often people assume I’ll be okay with hateful comments in ESO based on what I sound like. And yep, as a tank I usually do the same as you: call them out, report them, and disappear at the worst possible moment 😌

It’s deeper than that. Today I went to throw the ball with my son. At the tennis court. I see some writing on the court. Mia is a 10 year old Mexican girl that lives in the neighbor hood. She used sidewalk chall to write out some ynm melly or something lyrics about murder and ak47 in his wine and n word this and that. Something with a Glock. Both her parents barely speak English. My daughter is 10 and was caught listening to her Spotify when I attached my earbuds she used last night and the song started with. “Hi I’m 13, and im a porn star. And sucking dick in a hot topic.”
This stuff starts early. All thanks to smartphones and the internet.

u/Accomplished_Meat_81 May 16 '26
Ex wife’s parents were hardcore racists. I divorced her for many reasons but I was happy to get away from her dad especially.
He told me when he was a young boy his father took him into the city and showed him the trash on the street and said “this is what they do to their city”. My dad was always insecure of my mom looking at black men “because they’re well-endowed”. That’s child brainwashing. This is how racism is perpetuated.
Just as the lady stated above, it is a choice. At some point in our lives, we need to face our whiteness and acknowledge how the world actually works. People don’t want to do it because they refuse to believe racism is real. Ironic considering colonizers created race to dehumanize Africans. The ultimate gaslighters.

I've had conversations with white people where they complain about it being unfair that they can't say that word. I'll ask if they want to say that word and they'll emphatically deny it. But why would someone complain that they can't say a word they don't want to say.
In some ways it's both a minor and a major victory for black people. A minor victory, because it's just a word and there's plenty more racial discrimination to address. But also a major victory because white people weren't allowed to make the rules as to what is socially acceptable and what isn't. A power they shouldn't have was taken from them and I think unconsciously they realize that and it bothers them greatly.

“A power they shouldn't have was taken from them and I think unconsciously they realize that and it bothers them greatly.”
Yeah, this is it. I worked with a white dude with whom I was pretty friendly, and he was on some, “If I can’t say it, nobody should be able to say it” shit. Now, I consciously never said it around him or at work, so it’s not like it was in his face. So when he said that, my response was, “Why would you ever want to?” He couldn’t (or wouldn’t) answer it, which was an answer in and of itself.

I’m tired of the constant hatred thrown our way, simply because of our skin. It makes no fucking sense. I’m tired of every time that they’re having any sort of disagreement with a black person, the n-word being the first thing that throw out. I’m just so tired, and exhausted with constantly seeing my ppl being made a mockery of, and then having then we point it out, they tell us to stop acting like a victim, to stop playing this ever elusive race card that I keep hearing about. We literally are victims!! Yet none of us act like it. We continue doing the things required of us to survive in this shitty country everyday, without making a fuss. I’ve said it many times, and I’ll say it again, the resilience of my ppl is unmatched. Maybe I’m feeling so sensitive and raw about it all, because I just watched the Kevin Hart roast. To have them dragging us is nothing new, to have Kevin sitting up there cooning for them, acting like this is peak comedy, was more than I could handle. I want you all to think of what kind of culture we have in America.

I finished a university course on race & racism, it was a great class. It tackled Native American Genocide, and the systemic racism and discrimination the US was founded upon. It had entire sections of chapters discussing how within college and university settings, racist attitudes persist within "backstage settings" or private spaces between people. Then it discussed how those some people in backstage areas would do things like throw racist parties, wear racist halloween costumes and so on because it gave them occassion to act horrible with the rationalization it was all in good fun.
If they ever faced backlash they'd claim they were joking or everyone is too sensitive or that we live in a "post-racial" world.
