I am sorry, but if someone takes real-life consequences from being told to kill himselfs in a videogame, he is either utterly stupid or so mentaly unstable, that his life is going to be shitty anyway. If this doesn't happen, then something else, equally irrelevant happens and will have the same effect. I absolutely disagree with the idea that people should refrain form saying something just because someone doesn't like to hear that. Yes, I agree that we need rules with regard to communication, but those should be concerned mainly when a 3rd party is involved - if A says to C that B is a cancer to all humanity, that's obviously not OK, because he hurts the way B is percieved by C with no apparent reason. But if A says that to B, there is no practical harm. I don't think people should be protected from their own absurd sensitivity. If you can't ignore when people say shit in your face, you should just find a remote cave and live there, the rest of the humanity is not here to provide you the comfort you selfishly require. This is not abotu online/offline - the reason we see this open shitsaying on the internet more is that it is a newer space, less burdened by old-fashinoed limits, but I am against any unnecessary censorhsip in human expression at any space.

If I come at your face and wish cancer on your mother (who, I don't know, might just be dying of it), you wouldn't care? I'd probably hit that asshole until he bleeds. But I can't on the internet. So I guess that might be more responsible for it than the internet being an open space. We're not being polite because we have to many sticks up our asses. We're being polite so we don't get the crap beaten out of us to often.

But offensive GGs are so funny lol. Obviously it's really hard to deal with after you've played a game to the best of your ability and worked really hard. But comon, offensive GGs are great! As long as you don't take it too far.

There is a level where you get offended with whatever people say online. You probably didn't spend enough time there, too old/young to adapt, etc.

The next level is either you stop caring or you embrace it and treat as part of a deal. It really can be fun. You make comparisons to real life situations, but you don't realize this trashtalk happens almost in every competitive sport. You think football, NBA or NHL are different? You'd be shocked if you heard some of the shit that is being said, and its face-to-face.

I say toughen up. If you can't handle that shit just don't play, because you will always end up being humiliated. One thing is being cussed by someone who lost to you and another to be mocked by someone toying with you.

It can be boiled down to this statement:

Don't be a bitch.

Unnecessarily BMing someone with outrageous statements like asking someone to kill themselves or wishing them illness or death...it's not acceptable, and it's it's asshole behavior whether or not the other person can see your face. If you act like an asshole well...you're kind of an asshole, whether or not you think it's okay to be that way online.
