Just casually browsing HLTV for match timings, and it really hit home to me how the website has progressively degenerated into a complete cesspool. It was always full of idiots, memes and slapfights, but now it really does double-duty as an online repository for hatred. It's kinda shocking how little is said about it.

Maybe 10-20% of all threads on the sidebar are now political, almost exclusively of an extremist variety. There are scores, if not hundreds, of multi-month or even years old accounts still posting stuff like how all homosexuals deserve the death penalty, women are subhuman, pro-white supremacy, pro-fascism and so on.

I can't help but feel that the admins must be borderline complicit in this because they have simply let this happen over years and years through the most ineffectual moderation standards. Is there any other modern parallel, where the key news/content aggregator site for one of the biggest online games is basically a playground for the far-right? Honestly beggars belief.

It's shockingly bad, 4chan level bad. Closest thing I can thing of is the comment section on Yahoo news, as far as large site discussion goes, but even that is mostly just racist old boomers.

There's a really nasty streak that is super visible in the CS esports community unfortunately. Doesn't help that one of the top public faces reposts MRA poo poo and called Brazilians "monkeys".

Best thing ever, that 200 dollars in savings goes such a long way down the half (and I was already using the silenced even before the 5 bullet buff)

Yeah with the 350 from no helmet and the 200 from the silenced theres a bunch of cash to use on a kit or nades. Also ive started buying 2 flashes by forgoing HE nades to polish my popflashes. Its *insane* how many people still fall for the long pop flash from cross.

I'd say the easiest way to do that is head over to the sub.io thread and joining the Discord as that is the primary hub for the thread these days.

Don't think so. There are some extremely rare voice lines in the game though.

e: There was definitely a weird one as Terrorists on Inferno, I'm 90% sure. Only ever heard it once, and it's not the one about chickens being feathers and bones. It's like a full 10 second spiel. I remember googling itand finding one reference to it online, but I can't remember what it said at all. And I can't find it with any search for rare CSGO voice lines.

We can all learn from our past mistakes.

Well I had a weird experience. I've been playing CSGO and other CS versions on and off for years (I am terrible). I was in a casual server and someone started using their factory new Dragon Lore AWP. A few noticed and started passing it around at the start of the game taking screenshots with it. Myself included. I got a few kills with it and was killed by it too.
