When people trash-talk in online games.

Mamerto I. Relativo Jr. @Mamerto32 (2783) • Canlubang, Philippines 28 May 17

Maybe this is the reason why pro-gamers in the Philippines never get any support. I'm not here to generalize but many Filipinos are notoriously foulmouthed in online gaming. Looks like trolling is not just in social media. I been...
