Hate Against Kids (Rant)
Hello I am a [u]13 year old[/u] gamer and I play [b]Destiny[/b]. When I join someone or go on [b]raids [/b]I am Called "[i]Squeaker[/i]".
I am apparently someone to laugh at and abuse for being [u]2 years[/u] younger then another person. About 1 in 15 people are nice and don't care. When I need help with a Raid I invite people and ask people for help, then I am abused because I am [u]13 [/u]and have a voice that is kind of high.
I play with[u] 6-9 year old's[/u] if they need help... most other people just bully them and ruin the experience of Communication on this awesome [b]MMO[/b]. I love [b]Destiny [/b]it is fascinating and enjoyable... but about [b]70%[/b] of the community are bullies towards "Little Kids". If you don't want to play with someone because they have a voice that you absolutely can't stand, don't be a Bully just say "Sorry I really don't want to do this... I want to do other things" as appose to hurting feelings and being a dick.
You were a kid once whats wrong with it?
If they are screaming in the microphone and being really Annoying then give them a chance tell them your gonna kick them if they keep going, then if they keep going don't retaliate just be chill and say "Hey you had your warning... sorry your being kicked".
The thread is about people being bullies after they say a few words in a high voice. Also if they try to be funny don't laugh and say that wasn't really that funny try something else. About 4 years ago I got Xbox with COD and I did these things to so I can understand why people gave them this reputation. I feel it should be changed a little bit. Fighting fire with fire never works out it's just a waste of time.
If this is changed I would think [b]Destiny [/b]would be more inviting and people under [u]14 [/u] would enjoy it a lot more!
Also shut up about ratings. Look at the movies people sneak in all the time your not gonna stop anything.
In Australia you are allowed to play it so you can't say crap about kids from Aussie. Think of something without involving ratings or do you need to rely on them?
[spoiler]Australia has different spelling and grammar and I am 13 get off my case.[/spoiler]

This occurs for three main reasons in my perspective: 1: If they were playing online when they were younger, they were probably verbally abused by older players aswell. As they grow up they transfer all this anger they built up onto the younger gamers that they once were. 2: They feel privileged to have the ability to look down on someone and call them a "squeaker" without that term applying to themselves as well. With age comes a strong sense of responsibility, but also a sense of pride and power. They abuse this power, because there is nothing the victim can do about it. 3: They were raised badly in a household of too many other siblings and family members that they never got enough attention from their parents. This connects to the first point, in that they are transferring their hatred towards other people onto people online. Except this is a more specific reason, only applying to select individual people, whereas point 1 will effect all gamers who have grown up playing video games with others I know what it's like to be neglected by other players, and I understand what you're going through. However, I was better off as my voice has been lower since I was about 12, meaning played thought I was much older. I am currently 16 and people have commonly mistaken me for a 20 year old.
