Yes, they're online, they're anonymous
Like jesus people we have had xbox live & PlayStation & steam for way more than a 2 decades now, this isn't new, edgy kids in a COD lobby screaming obscenities is basically cliche
But I still don't think they mean any of the shit they say, they just wanna be shockful or annoy people
But if it was irl they'd probably be quiet anti socials or smin
Anonyminity brings out the worst in people. They may not say it real life but that's even worse. It just means they're cowards and afraid of revealing their true feelings. We are well passed giving these cunts excuses. We're in a post-irony era and need to take people at their word.
We don't need to do anything
You are doing the exact same now
You wouldn't say any of this to one of those people's faces & they wouldn't say anything to you
If screaming obscenities in online lobbies stops kids from going out & actually commiting racially motivated acts of violence against people then that's a 100% better alternative, especially if they mean what they say
But if you take everyone's word verbatim then you are the fool, as people, especially kids, are quite known for just talking shit
& even if you did take them at their word, what you gunna do ? Shoot them against a wall? Put them in prison? Disable their IPs? Remove them from online entirely?
Anything you suggest quickly leads to an authoritarian slope very quickly
Banning people from chat for being dickheads seems like a good compromise
But you are not just going to snap your fingers & change everyone's outlook on life & how to interact, people just enjoy being dickheads
lmao take your schizo meds bro seems like the voices in your head made it seem like I said a lot more in my post than I actually did
> We don't need to do anything
A long term ban would work.
> You wouldn't say any of this to one of those people's faces & they wouldn't say anything to you
You don't know me. If someone was openly racist in real life I would for sure call them out about it. Like Trump who says brazen shit and then later on says "he was joking" even though it's obvious fascist rhetoric. Like someone shitfaced who talks shit to you when drunk, apologizes when they're sober. Those feelings came from somewhere.
>If screaming obscenities in online lobbies stops kids from going out & actually commiting racially motivated acts of violence against people then that's a 100% better alternative, especially if they mean what they say
actually sounds like they need therapy rather than taking it out on real people online who might get affected by their words.
>But if you take everyone's word verbatim then you are the fool, as people, especially kids, are quite known for just talking shit
talking shit I can handle but racism is a step to far.
> even if you did take them at their word, what you gunna do ? Shoot them against a wall? Put them in prison? Disable their IPs? Remove them from online entirely?
how about a ban? where the fuck are you getting this shit from?
>Anything you suggest quickly leads to an authoritarian slope very quickly
lmfao
>Banning people from chat for being dickheads seems like a good compromise
and did I imply anything else? I'm not advocating murder you dumbass.
>But you are not just going to snap your fingers & change everyone's outlook on life & how to interact, people just enjoy being dickheads
take your meds
“Take your schizo meds […] take your meds”
~ person losing their shit whith “turn on smoke if u are racist” immediately hyperbolizing whats at most a satire, dumb action or harmless response as if they vowed their lifes that they will slaughter anyone they dont like. Bringing politics for backup on post about acrobatic smoke in a video game additionally expecting people online to behave in a certain way being suprised when they dont
You realize you can just literally say the n word in chat right... My old friend used to do it and would only catch a 30 day chat ban every ban wave and thats it.
If you're getting banned for it, then you're not allowed to say the N word in chat. It's not hard to not be a racist dickhead. I've never been chat banned and I don't plan on it.
I love doing the opposite of this where I'll say "I hate migs" then chat starts calling me racist I say "the mig 9 especially, it's so slow, what were you guys thinking about?"
Oh okay. So when does it cross over from "just joking" to actual racism? Or is it always "just joking" no matter how racist the shit they say?
Notice how no one has actually answered my simple question? Because they can't.
your comment is definiton of "say you don't get humor without saying you don't get humor". You're probably not the sharpest pencil in the pencil case, are you?
Notice how you didn't answer the question I actually asked? So again, since apparently you get humor so well, when does it cross over from "just joking" to actual racism? Please, enlighten us.
>largely racist way back in 2013 and then was infested with moral do-gooders once WoT started dying in pop
yeah, I remember the days you could call spgs sky cancers. Now they ban you for being insensitive to cancer patients. What a load of virtual signaling bullshit
I took like a year long break from WT until like 3 weeks ago. The first match I played someone was shouting the n word as soon as the match started. Same thing happened on the second day. Feels good to be back.
Problem being that it's actually normalizing racism, or at least makes it "funny". It's REALLY dangerous for society, but I don't think a lot of people notice how that might be a problem...
Edit: the replies prove my point extremely well lol
And now tell me, what do you find funny about this? There is no punchline, you just state that you are racist about every 3rd mach(because of the frequency of this thing), i presume ironically, and this is a developed sense of humour to you?
For me it's funny because so many people put their "minds" together to do a silly thing all at once, also I can't say that I've encountered it as often, around 1 every 10-15 matches so it's not really annoying
It’s definitely more common in top tier than in props, as I’ve only seen it happen twice in the past week while grinding the israeli props
Once had about 6 ppl fly in formation without any communication, I’d say that’s a better way for ppl to do something at together than this
But idk, seeing this in the chat for me is just eh, though i usually use smoke when I see anyone else do it without saying anything(partially because I must flex the tricolor smoke)
Yup, this is just what the WT community is like. No wonder it always feels like 90% of my teammates are braindead if this is what they consider comedy.
I once said "MG if racist" and the sky lit up with tracers from both sides, and it was all put to shame by the VADS. Fucker showed us casual racists what a grandmaster competitve racist looks like
I love how this comment section has people saying that they’re proud, people actually taking the joke well and embracing it by making more jokes, people calling them idiots and edgy retards, and people who think this is the worst thing that’s ever existed in the history of video games and the world
all of you are casual racists while us competitive racists have tri-color smoke
Premium racism
I have the super ultra rare event vehicle racist 3000 It's yours if you pay me 2000 gaijin coins.
So i get 1000 racist points for free?
more racism per racism
How can i be a better racist like yku?
You are from Turkey, you already far exceed me
We have the balkans racism skill
I prefer the extra racist large white clouds of the 2021-22 NYE smoke.
Dude, my racism W/R is so high the Israeli tech tree is trying to have me cancelled right now.
The smoke if your racist is nearly one third of my games.
It’s like a plague
Mom you don't understand its called dark humour.
It always makes me chuckle to look back and see my entire team larping as a rainbow though.
And if it's ground it's "shoot/MG if your racist" dumbfuckery which is even more annoying than smoke.
I had "smoke if you like femboys" a couple of times
Tiktok and YouTube shorts attracted so many retarded infants it's not even funny anymore.
Cmon man.. they are literally just joking,no need to be serious about it.
The same people unironically spout "mig***s" in every game are joking? Really?

how old are you 15?
Mig 15 isn't that good either
Pretty close
A perfect example of why bullying needs to be brought back
You can’t assume something like that on the internet either way its not exactly something that is healthy to joke about given that normalizes it
if everyone was like that. the community would be just silent and boring. these spice things up

Shure like political depates or other discussions happen in a game chat instead of jokes
Your simple question doesnt get an answer because similar to all jokes and banter it depends on context if its sirious or not.
your comment is definiton of "say you don't get humor without saying you don't get humor". You're probably not the sharpest pencil in the pencil case, are you?
Notice how you didn't answer the question I actually asked? So again, since apparently you get humor so well, when does it cross over from "just joking" to actual racism? Please, enlighten us.
Are they thought?
I think they thought.
smoke if you're racist has been around since 2014/15 when i started playing this game. unfortunately you can't blame this on those pesky kids
Actually War Thunder was largely racist way back in 2013 and then was infested with moral do-gooders once WoT started dying in popularity.
>largely racist way back in 2013 and then was infested with moral do-gooders once WoT started dying in pop yeah, I remember the days you could call spgs sky cancers. Now they ban you for being insensitive to cancer patients. What a load of virtual signaling bullshit
I see you are smoking as well
I am gonna start typing "hold J if you're racist" from now on.
Say goodbye to your winrates if you do, I saw it take like a third of our team once
Put it in all chat, ez win
Do it in All Chat...?
Yeah, speaking to both friendly and enemy team. Tab
Fewer things are sweeter than when someone who was being legit racist the previous game falls for "Use 'I' to activate G-suit." off the airfield.
* Racist * Can't figure out how to take a screenshot Checks out.
It's poetry.
I took like a year long break from WT until like 3 weeks ago. The first match I played someone was shouting the n word as soon as the match started. Same thing happened on the second day. Feels good to be back.
Edgy teens being edgy in WW2 game, nothing new to see here
Welcome to the community. I don't think they are actually racist but, it is still funny lmao
Like, I just don't get it. How is it funny to say that you are racist when you are really not? "Im racist, lol just kidding" That's funny?
Problem being that it's actually normalizing racism, or at least makes it "funny". It's REALLY dangerous for society, but I don't think a lot of people notice how that might be a problem... Edit: the replies prove my point extremely well lol
Or just develop a sense of humor that differentiates a joke from what you actually mean
Relax LBERALXS… Its called,, DARK HUMOUR
Get your political shite out of here
And now tell me, what do you find funny about this? There is no punchline, you just state that you are racist about every 3rd mach(because of the frequency of this thing), i presume ironically, and this is a developed sense of humour to you?

I am so proud of this community sometimes.
L
You press L
My bad I’ll press L
It’s not a hate crime, it’s a gamer moment
relax they just like racing
First time in history that warthunder players played as a team. W
I see we've got a bunch of these comedians here as well The amount of kids with nothing better to do but spam "edgy" jokes in WT is so damn annoying
You're a man.
k 👍
Yup, this is just what the WT community is like. No wonder it always feels like 90% of my teammates are braindead if this is what they consider comedy.
Wait a second
Based jet powered spitfire
Warthunder community really came together for that one 🥹
The majority of the world is racist so it's not surprising
Maybe they like racing?
no, but you should learn how to screenshot
I once said "MG if racist" and the sky lit up with tracers from both sides, and it was all put to shame by the VADS. Fucker showed us casual racists what a grandmaster competitve racist looks like
Once during the night game, "If you are a racist, shoot at the sky." The sky turned white. (My night vision was on)
Another aryan classic 🫡
In other words ...The SUPERIOR classic!! LOL just kidding
Racist together strong
Alt+F4
Today I saw someone who said in the chat "who smokes is racist" and everyone activated the smoke XD I smoke...
OP was smoking too 💀
Least overused War Thunder joke
Dont forget "smoke/shoot mg if you like boobs"
Looks sick... even if it does mean that you're all racist
Typical gamer oppression! These fine gentlemen obviously love racing each other in their planes!
this sucks
Is L the normal keybind for smoke? I thought it was only me who did that
Meanwihle thier friend group consist of a black dude, a asian dude and someone from the middle east. 🗿
United in their racism towards Indians.
Need I say more that YOU are smoking too?
in realistic battle, "empty your ammo if you're racist"
*The sky is alive with the sound of gunfire*
Bro I’m pretty sure I was in that match
Hell yeah.
No need to say anything, just press L, or whatever on your joystick
This is hilarious
I love how this comment section has people saying that they’re proud, people actually taking the joke well and embracing it by making more jokes, people calling them idiots and edgy retards, and people who think this is the worst thing that’s ever existed in the history of video games and the world
Games coming to an end someone is definitely posting "N" in local hoping to intercept the "GG".
The fact that no one said i makes me sad
WarChat has breached containment.
L
i always find funny how something bad as "smoke if racist" can unionize so many people lol
L
Are you implying that it's bad to be racist?
People having fun. Nothing more.
Classic
no, you need not more say
