Thought on players’ ability to take hate?

Players should be able to take (or ignore) all forms of comments bar personal threats, even though it might not be constructive. It’s part of the job. It’s like signing up as a soldier, the contract doesn’t say you’ll be treated like shit by your superiors, but it’s well expected. If a player can’t take the hate, then the career might not be suitable for them.

As a spectator, I want to be able to call a player a noob without having to worry about their mental health. And it’s the players’ job to not be soft. That’s part of what makes esports and sports in general fun and entertaining. I’m not here to babysit the players, I’m here to enjoy myself.

The majority of hate comments are not constructive criticism, there are a lot of comments that are death threats, or making fun of their appearance, etc

its part of any professional (e)sports job to keep in check mentally with regards to people making fun of them online but theres also a limit to the jokes like making comments on forums is fine and stuff but to nonstop harass people in their twitter replies or instagram dms is where it becomes weird imo

I think its crazy we accept this in society at all but for the most part I agree

Not everyone is the same , they handle things differently... just like how you wanna talk shit someone if they're not performing and others would just move on and hope for the better

its not just esports, even actual athletes see 100x worse stuff than this. if your mental is shit, youre fucked
