[XX='Jack D Ripper, c: 771060, m: 489497'][/XX] uhh no. Trashtalk has been a part of gaming since a long time ago. Ever heard of Warcraft III The Frozen Throne and it's famous map DOTA? Sya pa lang dati nagiisang moba and if pupunta ka sa public internet cafe and gaming hubs you would usually hear them shouting, even in battle.net and garena, whatever region it might be, Players would trashtalk in the chat. Yung mga nakikita mo sa Korea na walang trashtalk? That's nonsense, yun ang nakikita mo sa camera and they don't dare trashtalk in front of a camera. Pero pag walang cam Koreans are known for being Keyboard Warriors. Koreans and Chinese are keyboard warriors and would usually trashtalk one another if given the chance, even in manhuas and manhwa you'll see it. Japan is a bit special, I don't think they care as long as they get to play. As for EU at NA? Are you serious? They trashtalk all the time even in front of cameras and online streams. They would even use the N word outside of cam. And what you're seeing na walang trashtalk na nangyayari? Those are professional matches that is being held by corporations, Players there would not dare trashtalk since masisira image ng sponsors nila at iiwan sila ng sponsors nila as well as yung sarili nilang image, which would result in them being kicked out of the team and the event and worse, banned forever. That's just it. Ask my friends from european countries and north american regions, they trashtalk all the time. UK is a bit special, according to my friend alyssa, trashtalk isn't uncommon, they would still trashtalk in games but it's also not very common. I don't understand much about what she said as she has that deep british accent but that's what she said. Just watch online streamers, they would trashtalk too, even the famous ones. Don't bring up national competitions and corporation held events since it's a given that they are not allowed to trashtalk for the sake of the sponsors.
