  • joshseki discusses the current state of Valorant and his concerns with toxicity within the community. He then shows a game from a month ago that wasn't meant to be posted due to its triggering and vulgar content. However, it serves as an example to bring awareness to these issues within the game.

      Hey josh, i completely agree with your viewpoint
      maybe riot could add some kind of liking or appreciations system.
      So if many people in game liked you you get a good amount of rr or dont lose as much. Not gonna solve the issue all together but its a start

      I know that this kind of thing happen more often to women than men, but I do have the same experience, recently just because I play badly, a woman in my team started toxic at me in voice chat and text chat, she's making fun because I play badly and not as good as her.
      I did play badly at that game, and I didn't make an excuse for that, I just say "sry" in chat, but she keeps doing it, so I guess the only thing I can do is mute her.
      I hope people would keep in their mind that this is just a game.
      And when people toxic at you "mute button" Is always an option

Toxicity sucks in general no matter your gender, but we are consistently talked shit to just because of our gender or sexual orientation. Like if I talk in agent select before we’ve even started the game men will throw the game, dodge, call me a dishwasher, tell me to kms, tell me to get r*ped, etc. it’s very different.

      @@Infact77you are also missing the point my man. Toxicity sucks no matter who you are, but you don’t get harassed in game just because you’re a man. If you sound like you’re not straight, or you’re a woman, there is very very different toxicity and rampant homophobia and sexism in these games. I experience it less with val then i did with COD, but it’s still there. No one should be toxic. But if someone is talking shit to you it’s most likely because you’re having a bad game. If they’re talking shit to us, even if we’re doing good, it’s generally a lot more violent and extreme. I’ve had people threaten to dox me and rape me. Been told to kill myself because I’m a woman. What you’re missing is that in this video specifically too, if josh had sounded like a straight man, they likely would not have been toxic. You think that you just see it a lot because it gets views but that’s not true. You don’t see the majority of the harassment because a very small amount of women even stream games. No one is “not taking men seriously” you guys just have vastly different experiences with toxicity than women/lgbtq/POC do. It’s not the same.
      All in all we shouldn’t have to mute people, riot should just do their due diligence in actually banning people who speak like this and making changes so that they can’t just up and make another 5 accounts on the off chance they actually get banned. This game requires communication to win.

    In general, in the video game community, toxicity and casual bigotry seems to be have been normalized and seen as commonplace for a long time. These people are stuck in an echo-chamber and never understand that they look like losers and they need to get help. Kids are watching content creators that act like this and think that it's funny and it's honestly scary. I think while avoiding posting toxic content will make some people stop, there will still be idiots who spread the narrative that this behavior is okay. Still, I personally like the wholesome content of yours much better and would totally still watch you if you stopped posting the toxic ones ❤

    There’s been so many encounters where people in my games are laughed at or bullied because they’re a woman or the sound of their voice like you said. I’ve been in many unrated and comp games where 4 of my teammates are yelling, screaming into their mic, calling me boosted because of the sound of my voice. Even I consider myself lucky as I know that so many other people go through things 10x worse than this. Personally, I don’t do well with people yelling at me or just making me uncomfortable so I just end up muting them which doesn’t really solve the problem. I don’t really know how I can explain this, but while I’m playing, I can still hear their voice kind of echoing and it just kind of puts me down. When that happens, I just usually leave the game which results with me getting a warning or a ban. Because of these encounters, whenever someone else is getting bullied or yelled at, I’m afraid to speak up and when I do, the person that was getting yelled at doesn’t step up for me even though I did for them. This is really the reason why I prefer to duo with a friend that I know has my back and I really think that this is an issue that should be addressed by Riot.

    This video was so hard to watch, but thank you for posting. The way people just do this and get pure enjoyment out of harassment and don't find it a problem awakens an anger so deep inside that words nor actions can exude how I feel. The real problem stares back at them in the mirror every night. Unfortunate for them. Love you Josh!!

    Thank you for showing this I felt like I was going crazy because people were saying the game has gotten better with toxicity and stopped making it a focus in videos and comments but I still deal with it if I choose to talk while solo queued. It makes me feel like I am not allowed to play or have fun unless I have a guy with me which is crazy. Even though sometimes they start to bully the people with me too ;-;

      I'd definitely say it's more than 10%. In literally every game someone is being toxic in some way. These people who just start throwing slurs and stuff are way too common. I'd love to see what their life is like outside of video games. There had to be a reason their so miserable.

I hope that you don't have to go through this so often when they eventually get filtered out through the ban system. Lord knows it takes too long for it to happen, but thank you for shedding light on the situation cause of course it's a sensitive topic but it has to be said and it's good to know there's someone out there standing up for it. Take care I'm glad I came across your channel I'll be sure to keep up with it ^^, streams too when I have the chance.

  • @WarlockEmpire

    I'm going to be so honest, I had one too many games like this and it's the reason I stopped playing Valo. It's hard to watch, and it's even harder to sit through. It sucks so much, you handle it way better than I do. I just don't understand how making someone miserable and uncomfortable for 40 minutes is a fun way to spend their night. I'm just trying to play and chill without being harassed for whatever reason. I can handle banter, I've been playing videogames for a long time, but the constant pressure is insane. If you're not constantly harrassing someone, both of you can focus on the game and get more wins, which is what everyone wants, no? Love you and your content Josh, so glad you're around in the community.

    • @theimp6731

      I've always wondered that too. I understand that to them, in their small minds, "It's just trolling" or maybe some of them actually dislike certain people for religious reasons etc, but i genuinely can't understand how they can speak to someone like this and not feel incredibly uncomfortable and pathetic the entire time. Personally I have no reason to hate anyone unless they do something to make me hate them, but even if I did I'd rather just not speak to them than do this. It's like he said, they just have something wrong with them, it isn't you or me or any of the other normal people, they just have something wrong in their life.
