Ah, online gaming. A place known for respect towards everyone involved.
Should I say that all brazilians and chileans are racist for insulting me as soon as they learn that I’m from Argentina? Or should I realize that people talk shit behind the mic all around the world and that most are underage?
Seriously. Travel. I’ve encountered south americans all over the world and they’ve shown me (and I’ve shown them) nothing but kindness.
The real world is much more welcoming than what the virtual one would lead you to believe, and that’s not an accident.

Gaming is pretty wholesome anymore - even COD and League are pretty much fine these days. The occasional asshole pops up sure, much as with any other large gathering of humans, but it’s nothing even remotely like it was back in the day (hey you kids, stop touching my grass). I can play Helldivers 2 with my mic on and everything, never had anyone even be weird about it. It’s pretty cool to see that all the work put into fixing the culture in gaming has actually paid off.
I’ve never played cod or league tbh but rocket league and overwatch are pretty much the same as always (meaning, not very friendly). You do run into nice people every now and then (I’ve even made long lasting friends like that) but it’s generally not the case.
Maybe the region has something to do with it but it’s unfortunately not what I’m seeing in south america.
