I will never forgive Blizzard for dumping the South American/Brazilian WoW servers in with the North American servers for "queue times" in the LFG tool. It meant that 1-3 of the members of my group of 5, or 1/3 of my group of 25 for LFR, didn't or refused to speak English, and it would take twice as long as it needed to just to finish easy content. Even my mom knows how much I hate Brazilians just from the frequency with which I would yell about them over the years. Fuck I hate them so bad.
It really would explain how awful the internet has gotten over the years. Whole swaths of unreliable third-world shithole countries flooding online spaces with their terrible attitudes and anti-civilization behaviors, ruining the pleasant experience for the rest of us just like they ruin the harmony and serenity of the cities they invade. Despicable.
I hope aliens don't view humans as third-worlders they don't want ruining the galaxy. :(
I still find it hilarious that despite the playerbase of WoW being generally pretty woke, you can just say the absolute worst things possible about anyone from Ragnaros and the other South American servers and everyone will agree with you. I've been in raids where them joining or speaking Spanish/Geeseporch just got them kicked instantly.
Almost like the only way "anti-racism" or whatever works is when you don't have to actually interact with those people. And the moment you do it magically just erupts from you.
My son was a pretty high tier CS:GO player and continued for a while with CS:2 but eventually gave it up completely due to issues you mention. Now he just plays Elden Ring and Dark Souls.
The coolest ones are the guys who clearly don't speak any language including their own fluently and have spent 1000 hours or more playing a game they absolutely don't understand in any meaningful way.

Aliens probably aren't as homogenous as we'd like to think
