What does /new/ think of BullyHunters?

| Yeah, i'd post in /v/ but it would go political quickly.
It is supposed to be some sort of anti harassment campaign aimed at helping women who face harassment in online videogames (specifically CSGO it seems), however its a total disaster and seems like a shitty PR move by steelseries or a straight up scam, basically how its supposed to work is if your getting bullied in game you call a "bully hunter" to come help you..


| But thats rubbish, especially for CSGO since there is no way that actually helps in anyway, and they fabricated a ton of videos for their stream on how it was supposed to work. Total shitshow.
And for toxicity in CS:GO, you could just disable voice chat.


| Don't the bully hunters just go in and beat the bully? if that's the case I can already see them going in then losing horribly.


| I watched Jim's video and it's pretty hilarious what this group has done. It's all a failure like many similar movements and I'm pretty sure corporate interest is involved.

| It's fucking retarded. Case closed.


| -Turn voice chat off
-Play single player game
-Grow a thicker skin


| There are other better solutions than telling them santa superman is real


| Literally useless. Seems to me the only thing they can do is join a casual game and kill the "bully." If it's anything but casual good luck. And what are they gonna do if they can't join the opposing team? Can't grief them in casual games without doing it to the whole team.


| Feminism should just stop trying to get into vidya. And everything else, for that matter.


| Make an fake steam cs go account with their name of their adress im sure this is all a scam anyway


| At the end it was all a marketing stunt to sell sjws pricey "gaming" headsets which are basically normal ones with rgb lights, well it was a good move since sjws judge people based on the color of their skin so they sure love coloured stuff.


| Pls no bulli


| You are saying only about gaming dont they take action anywhere else?


| Cuz i dont want to see any of my accounts banned any time soon.

| Bullying in video games isn't a problem, real life bullying is, so yeah, this whole thing is stupid imo
Also, why do they only wanna help females, are they implying that men never get bullied? At this point MenHunters would be a better name for them


| Wait wait wait, so there's a service where if women are being bullied in a game, they can call a white Knight to help them? Isn't that a little degrading to the woman? Bullying should be prevented or stopped if possible, I understand, but it seems like this could go three ways. One, person is being harassed, calls a bully Hunter, and they save the day. This would happen 1/50 times. Situation 2, the persona generally doesn't like someone, so they call a bully Hunter on them, (cont)


| Wasting everybody's time. This would happen 9/50 times. Third thing, they wouldn't want to be viewed as weak, or wouldn't want to trouble anyone, so they wouldn't call on it anyway. This would be the 40/50 times. Then, of course, it could just be a badass that tells off a bully themselves, then no scope headshot kills them four games in a row until they leave.


| i dunno. being an actual gurl, the whole thing pretty stupid. but most of this thread is telling people to turn off voice chat and/or play singleplayer. i shouldn't have to do that, that's the thing. not that i like doing either, but it's fucking stupid that girls who play games have to do that. not because they suck, but because they're girls


| The wankers will always do that. How else will they reassure themselves that they matter to society?


| Eh. I mean I guess but as a man, i've experienced the same shit talk described in their video. I think women just talk about online verbal abuse more for better, or for worse. I just don't want a domino effect causing a movement for online censorship.


| >>d16db3 I agree. In an ideal world, we wouldn't have to deal with any of these creeps, but we do. BullyHunters has a 'meh' idea, with a less than 'meh' execution.


| >>246490 I mean; voice chat off is a must for most multiplayer games anyways. I know in PUBG, the 5 mins that you get to hear voice chat (in spawn and plane) are filled with people shouting, nigger, or playing horrible sound through their mic.

Go to a dedicated discord/skype call with friend if you want to play while talking. In game voice chat is almost always bad, not only for girls, but also dudes.

oof


| >>246490 and if you don't want to play single player games, go find other multiplayer games with better community. I mean we are talking about CSGO here, why would you complain about being harassed in a game in which you play at a terrorist/counter terrorist who shot at their at each others.


| >>246490
I am suprisingly no g/u/rl and turn off voice-chat too, as I can't stand the stupidity of most people there. Maybe the minority of gaming g/u/rls represents just a smarter part of all g/u/rls, while g/u/ys are more representative for the whole spectrum there, which is majorly lowbrained. Lowbrained g/u/rls rather watch make-up tutorials and do what society expects as "girlish" behaviour.
In the end it's not a question of boi or g/u/rl but of mass stupidity.


| >>247494 that's an interesting way to put it, i guess. pretty sexist/generalizing on both ends, but interesting
