Players racist against brazilians. STOP CALLING US MONKEYS!
I´m called on 50% of the games of monkey (macaco in portuguese) by these players and I´m must say that is very sad... I make dozens of reports and these players keep saying ######### on the after match chat.
DO SOMETHING! BRAZILIAN PLAYERS DESERVS RESPECT AND WE ARE MILLIONS OF YOUR GAME PLAYER BASE!

How do you know the players you go against are Argentinian?

...Does this count as political? It might be against forum rules.

I am Brazilian too, and I know just how frustrating this is. However, there is pretty much nothing you can do other than learning to ignore it.

@Rivyn You can check the Steam profiles

@ringwinning As a Brazilian, i get this a lot too, so i think it's a valid point to bring up to BHVR, imagine being called a monkey almost every match just because you said something in you own language

I know. Yet out of the hundreds of thousands of players, OP somehow runs into Argentinian players in half his matches?
I'm not saying it doesn't happen, but it sounds like OP just had a bad match, faced some salt, and is venting. Not that it isn't bad, or that OP isn't justified in their feelings, but it seems like a stretch. I could be wrong, though.

All you can do is report it. BHVR ought to understand that racism isn't just what mainstream America thinks it is.

@Rivyn SA has a single Server, so it's REEEALLY common to see Argentinians, Chileans, Uruguayans etc

I'm sorry your experiencing racism. That's absolutely terrible. For what it's worth I support you and the people being discriminated against.

Serious man? Seems to me that you know almost nothing of South America... But yes, you can check the flags of Steam profiles, it doesn´t make sense a peruvian, bolivian or colombian use a "false flag" strategy in his own profile just to scratch the argentinian players images before the community.
You will see dozens of players from Brazil here in this post assuring that I´m right.

I don't. Didn't know it was a single server either, so now I'm educated.
Just turn off post game chat and set your Steam profile to friends only or private. Sticks and stones and all.

Like, okay, now i won't see the messages, but damn, that affects the health of the game, at least for us here, i don't think that just turning off chat will help at all on the long run

I am Brazilian and as long as I can remember I have been called mon.k.ey several times. In English, Spanish or Portuguese.
It's easy to know when it's an Argentinian, because it's the only country that does that. As we don't speak the same language, it is easy to know when us Brazilians are playing.
The fact the only thing you can do is report and nothing happens when you do that is very frustrating. The toxicicty among the players is very real (one can spot this RIGHT HERE, btw), but racism and xenophobia is something the company should fight really hard.

Yes, in order to show them we are not savages living on trees we show them a picture of a savage who lives on trees.
GENIUS!

These people (all racist people) are ignorant and they're consciousness/awareness is low on that scale. Its hard to ignore but just continue reporting them, maybe one day actions can be taken on these people. Its not right and never will be right!

Also i am sorry for my previous comment I reread it and i feel like i was a disingenuous jerk for posting that i truely am sorry for your going through and i meant no offense. I think i thought it was a joke but it doesnt come across that way. I hope you can get your reports looked at.
