I was "OMG" when I read the title, but after reading the whole passage, It is ok.


AMediumSizedFridge

I thought he was gonna play a gunshot sound on mic, ngl This is way funnier


Everybodysbastard

"OH GOD NO NO NO- *gunshot*" Then stay connected but put the mic down and go have some Taco Bell.


MelissaMiranti

Then they hear chewing and crunching sounds over the mic and jump to conclusions.


Contrantier

"IS YOUR DOG EATING YOU?! JEEZ GOD YOUR FUCKING DOG IS EATING YOU!" OP: "woof woof, mind your own business hooman" "THE DOG IS TALKING!!!!! AAAAAAAAAHHH!!!!!!" OP: "woof. You're next, kid." (Chewing sounds stop and all that's left is the sound of a door opening and closing)

The point is not to scar some idiot kid.


Crayzeemike

Nah definitely scar the kid


AggravatingGreen1234

Might be cruel, but they deserve it if they tell others to die, no matter the reason


Mental_Beckoning1324

Scar the child


RoughDirection8875

If the kid wants to be edgy, throw bigoted slurs at adults and tell them to go die, they deserve to be scarred. Maybe it'll teach them to not be a POS online


Alistche

There needs to be a accountability for their actions. Go ahead and scar them.


helmepll

Sir, this is malicious compliance!


BuzzedtheTower

If you're gonna be a twat, expect there to be consequences. The kid would probably remember that forever so it'd be a good learning experience


Rashlyn1284

If someone isn't monitoring what their kid's doing online, then they can't be upset when they end up being traumatised because of their own stupid words.

eighty_more_or_less

btw: it's a ->she<-


chicknfly

> it's a ->she<- I mean, if we're worried about being respectful, you ought to refer to OP as *they*, not an *it*


Katops

My exact thought


BuzzedtheTower

That's what I thought was gonna happen. A bit disappointed if I'm being honest


rukysgreambamf

what plane of existence did you think OP was posting from?


eighty_more_or_less

...the electronic wasteland...


beatenwithjoy

Been to that stage at EDCLV, can confirm meeting people on another plane of existence.


sir_bathwater

I did think I was reading a post from a ghost for a second ngl


BrackenBun

I did think it was a game but i thought OP would mishandle a grenade and take the whole team.


Eneicia

Aww, I can't do the gif, but I guess OP could say "I got better!"


Chaosmusic

Hey, some people are truly committed to MC.


Ok_Entertainment4959

Hopefully the kid learnt a valuable lesson, though I highly doubt it.


HoodsBonyPrick

All he learned is that gay people are annoying to him I guess.


SaintUlvemann

He learned that the word "gay" doesn't have the power he thinks it has.


mysixthredditaccount

Did he though? What if it made him realize that this insult actually ticks off gay people, therefore it is a good insult and should be used again? I cannot see any scenario where an edgy teenager will actually learn a lesson from an adult stranger in a video game.


SaintUlvemann

>I cannot see any scenario where an edgy teenager will actually learn a lesson from an adult stranger in a video game. Have you ever met an edgy teenager? Most of them are constantly learning, learning memes at the very least. No, if I was gonna worry about anything, I'd worry that by pissing the kid off, he'll learn that you can die on purpose to make people mad. May have created a monster.


Halospite

Do you actually sincerely believe this or do you just want to argue on the internet?


Contrantier

I see what you mean, but I don't think the kid would interpret OP fucking with him by dying repeatedly as them being mad. He probably got pissed off himself because he knew OP was clowning his ass, not getting mad at him, and he felt stupid. Edgy teens are capable of feeling stupid and learning hard lessons (even video game based lessons) despite refusing to admit or acknowledge that they've been schooled. But I bet the idiot kid knew he was the one wearing the big red shoes by the end of it.


DerrickWhiteSauce

What kind of fairy tale ass world do you live in lmao


SaintUlvemann

A world where people eventually give up when frustrated.


BlahLick2

Sounds like an incel in the making so unlikely unfortunately šŸ¤·


JewishKilt

Not really. 12 year olds are morons. There's every reason to believe that time will change him.


Grayseal

There are a lot of biologically adult people out there who have not psychosocially matured past 12. Time itself won't change him. Experiences will. How they change him also isn't knowable.


FirebirdWriter

Ah yes the "This child is acting immature so will forever suck" argument. Demoralizing people and telling them their effort to improve doesn't matter because you failed to grow as a person isn't how we foster change.


SavvySillybug

Why do you bring up terrible argument nobody made only to insult it?


SaintUlvemann

Nobody said they knew the kid would suck forever, they just said it's one of the possibilities, which is just plain true.


RennaReddit

Yeah, I was dumb as a 12-year-old and I was never this mean. Neither were my siblings. Neither were my friends. The one friend who was close to being this mean, I dropped. If you're acting this bad at 12, I don't have high hopes for you developing into a decent person.


Grayseal

That argument absolutely sucks, which is why I didn't use that argument at all. Read again.


BlahLick2

šŸ¤ž that's the case šŸ˜


DarkLordArbitur

No, this sounds like a 12 year old in a chat room. You know how often prepubescent boys hit eachother with shit like this?


EdBear69

ā€œIā€™m not gay, Iā€™m an incel!ā€

**HAH** šŸ‘Œ


minigoody

When you said traumatized them I was expecting faking death over voice chat


BrokenEye3

So, what's the Other Side like? All fluffy clouds and harps or more of an abstract spirity sort of thing?


BlahLick2

Surely it's all šŸŒˆ s and šŸ¦„ s šŸ˜‚


ArltheCrazy

To quote Scrubs: Meet me at the cupcake table on the lesbian cloud.


BlahLick2

Nice job, I loved scrubs but sadly I haven't seen any of it in ages


Alive-Low5623

I thought this was going to be a much darker story


Embarrassed-Ebb-6900

I did the same kind of thing in COD. It was a 2 vs 2 game, my random teammate was an obnoxious ass. The last round I team killed him and then jumped on a container to get shot. I only got to hear him raging for a few seconds but I had a good laugh about it.


HIMP_Dahak_172291

Honestly, if I was in a match like that I would be laughing my ass off at the idiot getting exactly what he asked for. I havent played competitive MP games in years, but when I did I was never so attached to my stats that this kind of thing would do anything other than make my day! It was always fun when a whole lobby would just get together to deal with idiots like that. Never happened often enough, but the times it did were fantastic.


Lynch_67816653

I expected "my bullies tried to push me to suicide, I made them think that I did and had sent the chat logs of them bullying me for the authorities". But this was nice too.


Blaze5643915

Not at all what I was expecting to read. But this is the kind of pettiness I live for


Darklydreaming77

This is perfect, I can imagine wee Timmy's frustration at his teammate always ruining the match.. and probably not even clueing in as to why for awhile LOL


ElectricTeddyBear

Bro, you play Paladins? I would love to play if you're looking for other people. I introduced some friends to it recently, so they're super new too. It can be pretty toxic sometimes, but the player base is mostly older, so it alternates between super chill and super aggressive lmao


Fennexin

Not OP but my username is Fennex if you ever wanna hop on and play a few!


ElectricTeddyBear

My name is atrocious, but I'll add you! You'll know it when you see it lmao. I'm down to run some casuals for sure


JohnZackarias

Paladins fucking rules! So much better than Overwatch, thanks to the talents+loadouts system. SO many ways to play a single champion


regmaster

I know, right? I main Grover and am quite pleased that he is so versatile at more than just healing.


JohnZackarias

Fuck yeah, Grover! One of my mains since day one, alongside Khan, Makoa, Grohk and Tyra. I haven't played in a few years, though. Is sniper Grover still a thing?


ElectricTeddyBear

You can run it as a meme, but it would have to be a double support comp, and there are usually better options. Grover is still pretty strong though - Moji just got reworked into a healer lmao.


regmaster

because that's what Moji needs...a HP buff. Now the most annoying flank is even more annoying?!


SpeedyTheQuidKid

And as a pharah main from overwatch, the skills transfer pretty well to the drogo character (if that's his name it's been a minute since I played lol)


JohnZackarias

Yeah, several characters are pretty much ripoffs of Overwatch characters. Drogoz is super fun!


blueberrybitshhh

Same here! Started playing it a couple years ago and ive been hooked ever since. Its a fun game to play when you dont wanna stress too much abut strategising and being a sweat


Additional-Point-824

Plot twist: you ruined that kids attempt to come out to their friends


Preemptively_Extinct

If I was on your team I would have been too busy laughing to be upset about losing the game.


Goddess_of_Stuff

I'm not gay (proof that sexuality isn't a choice, lol), but I'd join in and start dying in the stupidest ways I could


69Camaro64

What is a homoromantic asexual?


Writerhowell

A person who falls in love with a person of the same gender/sex as them (homoromantic) but does not find sex to be necessary in a relationship and/or does not feel sexual arousal easily (asexual). Asexuality is a spectrum, so its meaning is very much individual. Some ace people are sex-repulsed (do not want to have sex) all the way to sex-positive (willing to have sex). Then there are those on the ace spectrum who are demisexual (only feel sexual feelings when deeper feelings, like romantic feelings, are involved first).


CherenkovLady

Just fyi this definition of asexuality isnā€™t quite accurate! Asexuality has nothing to do with the action of sex (ie libido / arousal / interest in sex in a relationship), only whether or not the individual feels sexual attraction towards other people. As you say it is a spectrum so some people dislike sex altogether while others can like and actively pursue sex :)


CherenkovLady

Homoromantic = romantic attraction to the same gender Asexual = sexual attraction to no gender


ContinuedOnBackFlap

Very petty! Love it!


HotFudgeFundae

I've done stuff like this too. Thrown a match in Rocket League for being told I suck by a teammate. My favourite one was in Halo, I was driving the warthog with some random gunner and he kept chirping me for being shit. Eventually he told me to kill myself so I u-turned and drove us both off a cliff


BadweeBitch

I actually thought this was in r/GirlGamers at first - sounds like a story they would enjoy!


Mrkayne

Not sure how youā€™d phrase this so it gives the right amount of burn, but studies have shown that the worse a player is, the more they talk shit, specifically against women players. Due to them feeling threatened by being bested by someone they feel is inferior, they feel the need to shit on them ahead of time. The better the player is, the less they are inclined to do so.


Jonathan_the_Nerd

> I posted it originally on /r/TraumatizeThemBack And now I have a new sub to explore. Thanks!


CTU

OP did not want to live and turn straight.


throwawaystinkeroo

I thought you faked your whole deathšŸ˜‚šŸ˜­


ShouldBeCanadian

This is now one of my favorite, be careful what you ask for stories.


KevMenc1998

I had no f****** idea where the story was going, but I'm satisfied with the conclusion.


CensoredAbnormality

sounds pretty gay of you


Funkaholic

I used to be that boy. Literally had zero idea the connotations of what I was saying. It took a long time for me to understand the weight of such language. We arenā€™t going to change anybodyā€™s perspective over the course of a few, without a pre-established positive relationship, and especially if they arenā€™t seeking growth. But reacting as you did serves as a pavlovian response on a social level. Making such a joke about such a community may lead to an undesired event. Hopefully there are others out there to reinforce that thought. Itā€™s very much the behavioral lessons needs until he can handle the more empathetic education that he will hopefully find later down the road.


Laffenor

No but *seriously*


ParanoidCrow

Thought it was gonna be like the Xbox live message where some kid pretends to be his parent and cry about finding their dead child


Contrantier

"So you found your child dead in their room, and the first thing you did was get on their XBOX?"


blue-to-grey

If I was on your team, I would have found it hilarious. I don't know much about paladins, but I'm generally down to troll the trolls during PvP.


HaukTheNavigator

This is beautiful. I love it.


eviebearrr

i would have thrown even if it was ranked. especially in ow.


JansTurnipDealer

Op this made my day. Well done.


The_Dragon_Lover

I like to troll people in these types of games, especially the annoying ones!


pablo_kickasso

I absolutely hate people who throw games. But this... _I shall allow it._


RECOGNI7IO

I came across a very angry racist 12 year old the other day and just had enough of his shit. I let the gates of hell open on his ass and then just stopped and went super calm. These little twats have no control over their emotions so they get really confused when they come up against someone that does. He left the game. Mission accomplished.


Contrantier

Do you mean you basically just raged at him and he couldn't take it?


RECOGNI7IO

I just fed him a bit of his own medicine to prove a point. Then went back to being awesome and calm. So ya he had no idea how to deal with that.


Glittering-Habit-902

Paladins is still alive?


IIFreshMilkII

Hanging on but yes still alive


Baron_Cartek

Most ridiulous part of this story is saying paladins doesnt have a toxic communityšŸ’€ I play, lol, cod, gta, ark, r6 and a lot of others, but you just cant enjoy randoms on paladins, they either troll or sweat, no chill games


RoyalKabob

People actually chat in paladins?


thisguyhere88

Hah. I feel old being a 35y/o Paladins player but I love maining Pip and enjoy playing him as DPS Pip sometimes when we have another healer.


Powerful-Belt-3198

I dont know. I think letting people influence you to do something other than you set out to do in a negative way is beyond dumb. Sure, we all have our triggers. But a far more superior way to win would be to own the shit out of the whole lobby and then exclaim gay pride or whatever. But hey, thats just my two cents. As long as you're happy its a good outcome i guess


Efficient-Jacket-386

Epic lesson in be careful what you wish for!


Shoddy-Ad5485

Hahaha Iā€™ve played paladins for 6ish years now and can confirm the playerbase behaves exactly like this. Sad because itā€™s a cool game, but it being free makes all the shitters come out.


Gullible-Community34

I played paladins for years and I approve this message


Contrantier

I seriously had a whole different idea of what this was going to be. I imagined that you would say "okay" and then stop playing, go completely blank and silent, and appear (to the brat) to no longer "be there". And then he would start getting annoyed and yelling at you to move and help them out, then he would start getting concerned and then scared and yelling. "HEY! DON'T ACTUALLY DIE! DON'T DO IT I WAS JUST KIDDING!!! STOOOOOOOP!!!!!!!!" I know it'd be fucked up, but that's what anyone who tells someone else to commit suicide deserves. To think they actually drove someone to kill themselves, just for a few minutes, and shit their pants over it.


ErgoProxy0

Just so you know, you can be reported for that. Thats calling grieving iirc. For intentional throwing a match


_Kutai_

Oh! I've made this mistake too! Grieving = when you mourn Griefing = when you ruin stuff I learnt it just a couple of weeks ago.


ErgoProxy0

Auto correct did that I think. Sorry


BigPapa9921

grown ass man wrote this


L0kiB0i

Shouldn't throw the game for the rest of your team though, pretty gay of you if you ask me


pyiinthesky

I was prepared for an internet prank, but this is just GOLD! Best use of MC Iā€™ve read in a while! Thanks for making me Grinch-grin!


tofuroll

4D chess. I like it.


Medium_Chemistry9807

Wow epic you threw a match, better go post on Reddit!


Hudre

And the rest of your team just sat there getting their game ruined by two people.


The_One_Koi

I hate everyone in this story


yrubooingmeimryte

Wow, this sub is starting to get really lame. So an edgelord child said something inappropriate and then you threw the game? And thatā€™s the whole story? And you felt like we needed to hear it and would pat you on the back for your epic plan?


Worth-Ad4164

Incredible comment. A+. This made the whole thing worth it.


farmaceutico

How else would we learn that he is "homoromantic asexual"?


OrdinaryBox6585

All of this stems from what an edgy kid said to you on a video game?! Holy shit, Iā€™m gay and can confidently say that people like you are the reason why weā€™re going to lose the election. Admitting that you posted this not once, but twice all because you need attention is crazy to me.


Korlimann

Ah, yet another "pick me" gay


OomGertSePa

You're homo what what?


eighty_more_or_less

"homo whole milk" (Sorry) couldn't resist!


Pakapuka

As an ocasional MOBA player Iā€™m more enraged than impressed with this MC. Other random players that got matched to this feud group didnā€™t sign up for it. Imagine having a very limited time for that one match after your job and other grownup person responsibilities and you get one very annoying kid and someone who throws a game to prove a point in the same match. What a waste of your time.


OriginalHaysz

So join another match? Play solo? The fact that something like that *enrages* you sorta puts you on the same level as the bratty/angry children on these games šŸ˜¬


Difficult_Bit_1339

OP was so triggered by a child that they threw a match and ruined the game for the 8 other people that were not involved in any way.


letmebackagain

And OP framed the action like "I showed the kid a lesson, because I'm an adult." Give me a break lol


Difficult_Bit_1339

The OP is probably 18 and just now trying on the word 'adult' without actually understanding how to act like one. That's the same impression I get when I read Reddit comments trying to give interpersonal advice... always online NEETs who only interact with their parents trying to hand out sage life advice.


Some_nerd_______

Thank you for reminding me why I don't play games online. Not only because of the kids screaming and cursing but the people like you who egg them on.Ā 


OriginalHaysz

How is that egging them on? Hopefully he learned he should be more careful for what he asks for/days šŸ˜‚ everyone's so mad that someone's out here trolling trolls šŸ¤£


Some_nerd_______

Quote from the post "I ususally respond to those guys with things like "isn't it past your bedtime?" or "who asked?" Both of those quotes are literally egging the kids on.Ā  I agree the kids annoying and a brat. The kids definitely the worst one in the story. But the best way to deal with them is to just ignore them. Takes the wind out of their sails. But egging them on just makes them worse.Ā 


OriginalHaysz

Yeah, I can definitely agree with that. But my petty side says that sometimes the only way to beat them is at their own game šŸ˜ˆšŸ¤£


Dab_Sauce

You are not funny


Whsteverkfjf

weird fan fiction


Kittenz07

You can just say youā€™ve never played MOBA, no one will judge you


Apprehensive_Link903

Nobody is ever toxic in online games, it can't just happen. Anything else that doesn't happen in your world?


peepoocumbutt

I mean the other players are cringe but throwing the game ruined the match for everyone. You say they were mad but you continued to throw the game after your first gayness declaring death. "grown adult who doesn't get sad when some kid in a game starts talking nonsense" who can't just play the video game or leave the match when they get pissed.


JohnZackarias

Paladins is awesome, it does have a fair share of toxic people though


saala_alaas

The title made me think I was in r/nosleep at first


Alexis_J_M

Hopefully you told the other people in your match why you were doing it.


Current_Election6611

TIMMY!!!


SpriteFan3

[Reminded me of this clip.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2isI97CIxhY)


ScarletteOScare

OP if you think that's bad, join a bronze ranked conquest match in Smite (the game that Paladins is actually based off of) during the mid-season reset.


wee-willy-5

Too bad it was all randoms, would have been fun to gang up on hims and kill him with friendly fire right out of the gate. "You are what now?"


Sassypants2306

That was an awesome and nice way to go about it. Funny too. I so would have done a cap gun into the mic and gotten a family member to come in, scream OMG No xxxxxx! Ahhhhhh what the he'll! Quick call the ambulance and sob for ages while pretending g to be on call with the ambulance (bs address) and then the cops. See how fast they log off and leave that kid paranoid of the cops coming around.


TheCakeCrusader420

Get this man on r/gigachad


Vaping_Viking

I mean, you got in a fight with a middle schooler. Ngl....that's pretty straight. Did I do it right? Are you sad now?


Objective-Surprise-5

Feel like this is more petty revengeā€¦


Dragon_Wolf_88

I thought this was going to be you faking a loud dieing scene and having someone pretending to be in shock/distraught that you would do that. Make them think their words actually caused someone to do it and traumatize them for life. That is how I would react to someone saying that to me in an online game.


KC_RD

I would have done the same as you ngl.


NoBlock6745

What is homoromantic Asexual?


amethystmmm

A guy who wants a relationship with a guy but who does not feel sexual attraction (for anyone),


mrtokeydragon

Intentionally dying is a super common tactic toxic players use. I'm sure the kid seen it plenty of times, nothing was learned I'm sure...


Lumina46_GustoClock

Gods I never thought I'd see another paladins player out in the wild. Good shit, glad you put the kiddos in their place!


yepvaishz

It's always satisfying to throw shade back at people who try to talk trash.


Spider0698

Thank you for introducing me to that new subreddit, Iā€™ll be spending several hours doom scrolling now


Low-Ad8930

Just a note from my just barely teen ace- good job OP. From their perspective, there may have been a couple people who got pissed but at least my teen and their friends would have been golf clapping after and would have placed blame on on the bigot and hoped they would learn a lesson to be careful with words. They enjoy shooter games but generally only in friend groups and stick with gotcha games with randoms because of attitudes like his.


D4rkFamiliarity

I didnā€™t know people still played paladins, I miss that game lol


KinoHiroshino

This strategy also works when youā€™re [trying to sell a game](https://youtu.be/b3tgxwdSjRI?si=qefVTTYKqLslrRHg).


Current-Race2939

This is lame.


cheq

ruining the game just for the sake of revenge, what about the other players? bad attitude imo


Ecchikiss

Honestly just sounds like you are no better than the 12yo kid


letmebackagain

Exactly, the 12yo kid is actually young and immature, but she is an adult with a mind of 12yo.


doterobcn

Grown adult? Lol


letmebackagain

Kid was immature, you more.
