The internet has been a breeding ground for every kind of hate imaginable since online forums and groups started. It went unchecked by most websites that hosted them and still does in a lot of places like gaming; something I have some experience with.
Incel. Until this week I had never heard that term. Does that make me somehow implicit? No. It means I don't spend time on shitholes like 4chan or associate with people who hate women. The idea that women owe you sex or a relationship is every kind of wrong. Cont...

In poker I saw this kind of hate in person as men said sexist, hateful things to women seated next to them. Grown men, seniors, students....it didn't seem to matter. These people felt totally okay with saying shit to players, dealers, staff....and almost nobody would say a word

I was called a faggot by one guy at the table for saying it wasn't cool to talk like that. That same guy threw a card at a dealer and cut her near her eye.

Companies like Activision, Sony, Ubisoft etc do very little in reality to combat in game hatred. They claim to, but when you see a guy with a username "DarkieSlaveTrader" or "SuicidalFa88ots" show up in a game...you know they don't give a shit.
