Kingdom of Knuffel

I have had to deal with both, but in the past it was more sports related. There was this one girl in highschool who was always mean to me, for no reason. She was way better at me in sports, but she always felt the need to rub it in with a snarky comment or some prank. Thank god I'm an adult now and don't have to deal with competitive high schoolers, but internet bullying has got out of hand these days, especially in the gaming community. :( My method for dealing with shitty comments is to grace them with my humor, but not all people can handle it this way. I don't understand why it has to be such a knife fight all the time though.

Never should we excuse people from belittling or treating others disrespectfully. I don't play DBD or other open worlds online for this very reason you've brought up XD Local co-ops with the fam? Online with friends? Golden. Can't trust everyone to have the same level of decency as we do though. It's a shame your sister also had to see that behavior...
I hope at least she can learn from you that there are big douches in the world and it's okay to be bothered by them. That's an understandable reaction.
If they're like that- it likely also means they're trying to prove something to themselves most of all, I think.

"I beat you! I WON LOSER!" could = "I won, SEE DAD? I'm not a loser!"
"You did a shit job at getting us through" = "I can't get anyone through anything"

That's what I try to remind myself :3 I hope it helps someone.

AGAIN- not excusing it. Just... ignoring it because I can't fix them. No matter what you say or what you think you could do, they won't react any other way but antagonistically. Whatever they are, they need a professional to get them out of/cope with what they're in.

I knew someone that would start throwing things when they lost any game. When they won they would rub it in everyone's faces. When they lost repeatedly they would attempt to cheat to win. Now when I play games it's with my coworkers and we jokingly talk crap to each other while we're playing but no one gets upset if they lose, no one rubs it in anyone's face if they win, we just play to have fun and hang out.

My entire family are stupidly competitive and sore losers. A few are sore winners, but not nearly as bad as the sore losers.

Sometimes people will seem like sore winners when they're just so happy they won.

Though that's not many of them....but when I win, I'm like WAT? HOW DAT HAPPEN?!

I hate people like that. It makes me feel some people play games only to be able to vent and attack others. They do not truly care about wining or losing, just a chance to flame someone. It made me quit multiplayer games. Now I only play from time to time with my group of people I trust, who are adult enough to not attack each other or enemy team.

It makes me wish game developers and publishers started treating this more seriously and cleaned communities out of toxic people. I am aware that banning everyone is impossible and they still need to have their business in mind, but I do hope one day we will get more sophisticated algorithms and ways of evaluating other players.

i always lose at games of skill so i'm used to losing. it's just annoying when someone insults you for losing for no reason other than to be an asshole about it. like okay.... i won't be playing with you again, then.
