    I was repeatedly called an Oompa Loompa by someone upset about losing Starcraft 2, which sounds pretty tame, but the hatred this person put into his writing.

    I dunno why but my man HATED oompa loompas

      Not video game related, but I was teased a lot growing up because I was always the shortest kid. This one guy would constantly call me an Oompa Loompa. His problem though, I had never seen the movie, so I never had a clue why he was calling me that. Because of that, it never bothered me and that would frustrate him quite a bit. Eventually he just gave up.

      It was actually what finally got me to not take any of the teasing seriously and what showed me ignoring it all was the easiest way to deal with it and get it to stop.

      I can see why. Everytime the dude lost in a game he imagined the other player as a squat orange dude with enormous green hair who’d begin to sing a rhyme about the win that starts with “gg ez”. I’d hate them too.

    I once got called an “Ass-born Quasimodo” after beating somebody twice in a row in Hearthstone.

      I was once accused of being a democrat. I think. The comment wasn’t very coherent and it was hard to figure out what it was trying to say. And I think it wasn’t even referring to the same comment it was a reply to. But there was a lot of feeling in it.

      I’ve never even set a foot in the country. Never will with the current climate either.

        I would consider being called a Democrat pretty insulting… Because it implies that I view politics through the American lens. Nothing could be a greater insult to one’s intelligence.

        Even if they’re not called Democrats the same people exist in every country

    Playing Town of Salem.

    It’s a game where some people play good guys some people play bad guys. And every day someone is put up for trial and you have to convince everyone you are a good guy so you don’t get hanged.

    So. I was put for trial and made a very laboured argument of why I had to be a good guy and shouldn’t be hanged.

    Someone replied “Fake and gay”.

    And they hung me. I was a dead bad guy.

    It was the first (and last) time I tried Burnout: Paradise online on PS3. I was teamed up with a group that seemed to be doing their own thing and I didn’t really understand what was going on. Eventually I was kicked out for being a “stupid lag fag”.

    From my SOFII days: “Shut your cock holster [anti-Semitic slur]”

    Cock holster. Genius.

    The other slurry bit was cringe then and still is.

      My god, what is that even supposed to mean?

      It almost sounds like they’re mad that you used rational thought rather than emotion to come to a conclusion about something.

    Dude said I had a face like a wedding cake left out in the rain.

    Fair’s fair, though - we’d met IRL, so I guess he was in a position to judge.

    During Overwatch (solo queue), some guy was all pissy, saying that everyone on our team was throwing, and generally being a jerk. He gets fed up, and says ,“fine, since you all suck, I’m just gonna sit in spawn”. And he does. So now, we were 5v6 (OW 1).

    But the minute he stops participating, we start winning. And we cap the point. And we start capping the next one too. And I just start laughing and tell him how he must be so bad that he was actually making us worse by participating. He quietly start playing again, but he was so toxic, that I kept teasing him while he waffled for non existent explanations.

    He never stopped being a jerk, but I had a really good, memorable match.
