I'd certainly leave immediately if I heard anything offensive.

I'm not excusing the perpetrators, but you need to realise people are going to talk a bit of smack online. Take it too seriously and it's your problem.

Feh, people like to report me on X-Box for "trash talk" and "aggression". Neither of which I do. If I do talk I talk normally. And my "aggressiveness" is killing the enemy AI dead.
I think some people are just getting mad that I actually have some skill at the game and can out perform them.
But running into "bullies"?, no, I would find that funny to run into some into some more internet tough guys though. Like the dude who threatened to gut me like a pig with a knife if he ever saw me. Or this other guy who threatened to break every bone in my body. And such stuff like that. Big words from little boys.
I make it my goal when gaming to never be the guy trashtalking/putting down/insulting anyone for any reason, even if they are doing that to me.
Oh don't get me wrong, I'm mean back to nasty people. Hell, that's why some people hate me so much. I'm a jerk. But under normal circumstances, I'm a pretty cool guy whose only in it to play. I'll shoot the breeze with my friends and all. But, I don't make myself obnoxious while playing.
So yeah, it utterly confuses me that people are reporting me for playing the game.
I mean this one day, I ran in as my Ex-Cerberus Vanguard as the Cerberus troops were marching out the front of Giant. And I utterly wasted them with smash and melee. He's specced for health, ditched biotic charge, makes him pretty mean especially in my hands. And that entire game, I'm playing as hard as I can. We win, no sweat. Didn't say a word either
Then, boom, someone reported me.
That system just seems so easy to abuse. I remember how my one friend got reported for killing a little kid in Modern Warfare by the kid's mom. And X-box actually contacted him and WARNED him. Though, he got out of that, cause he knows some legal stuff and threatened them over it.
Still, it's a really dumb system.

If you can't take a bit of smack talk get off the internet.

One of the presenters on the video said "if you are one of those guys that says "its part of the game" you are a jerk"
Honestly, this is some ignorant stuff. It isn't "a bit of smack talk" its much more than that.
Cultural insensitivity at its worst

Victims need to find better ways of coping with the bullying or at the very least find ways of combating the bullying as opposed to provoking it.
Yes, it's the victims fault they're being "bullied". What a beautiful fantasy world you must live in.

Yeah, women are being raped and decapitated by machete wielding maniacs in the Congo Jungle every day...
...And you want me to take someone seriously who's upset that people posted swearey words on their youtube videos?
First world white women on the internet problems. Don't read comments, don't allow comments... it is NOT a big deal. Get over it. Complete anonymity gives people a license to behave like d*ckheads. Understanding this is the first crucial step towards immunising yourself to internet vitriol.
Keep in perspective exactly what is being said. She's not being attacked by crazed African militia men, she's being trolled on the internet by people who are posting stuff on her youtube video that they would never dream of saying to you in real life.
Keep some perspective on the matter please?

A sign of pettiness, excusing ****** poor behavior to justify your apathy because someone else, somewhere, has it worse, to which you will do nothing about either.
Its not about one women's youtube site, its about a culture.

Yeah, the mother must have sent in some kind of false report. But, this sort of thing isn't so uncommon. You should check out the many rage videos on youtube centered around these style of games. It gets really sad.
I mean if that was ME, and my mother caught me doing that kind of crap when I was a boy. She would have probably taken my console and put it in a pillow case and beat me with it and then buried me on some random hill. But alas days long gone when parents actually disciplined their children.
But seriously, she would have tanned my hide if I acted like those brats.

No, my point is I was raised by my parents to ignore people who talk BS. I extrapolate this to encompass the people who do so online too.
I didn't say their behaviour was appropriate. I said she needs thicker skin... People misbehave. In real life, on the internet... and the best answer is to ignore it. Respond to it, and show that it bothers you and you are giving the person exactly what they want.
I am apathetic towards people who clearly are much too naive for the world they live in.
