Ok, it has been coming more prominent recently, but this problem has always been there but It seems that sc2 fans are major trolls. You can go into any stream chat (except NASL where you have to pay to talk) and it will be full of rage, ignorance, political arguments, name calling, threats, etc.
I was watching IEM yesterday, Jinro beat Idra with a bunker rush, for the next 5-10 minutes the chat was full of "Jinro a fag", "Terran fag race" "press 1 is terran is master fag race" I went to comment on Strelok's macro for the next game but my message was buried in a moment by a political argument where someone was saying (real quote) "USA trades $4 trillion and 50,000 lives for 2 sand niggers" Its outrageous the extent of these trolls. sayings like "go kill yourself" mean nothing anymore, I barley even notice them anymore.
More stories, Some dude in GOM chat repeatedly says every morning that Moletrap raped a Korean in 1991, and if anyone asks him to shut up he tells them to "get off moletraps dick" Also in that chat, there is a dude named "EGincholesteral" he devotes himself for talking about how fat Incontol is. I know its retarded and I could just leave the chat but its sad how a few stupid peopple can ruin an experience for the rest.
Now to regular sports, your at the football game, imagine if like thousands of people at the stadium just started shouting "(insert athlete here) is a fag!!!" "Yell 1 if (athlete) is a fag" It would never happen.
I was trying to introduce some of my friends to the esports scene and they were just utterly appalled by the chats on the tournament, they are every little about the actual current matches and much more about who is a fag, political arguments, racism, and general douchebagness.
Point being, stupid anonymous fans give the scene a bad rep, and remove a lot of enjoyment from those who actually want to enjoy come conversation about the games they are watching.

I agree with you, I really do. However, iNcholestroL is just a really funny troll name.
Is it wrong to laugh? ><
