I avoid any pvp online game exactly for this reason. if you open your mouth to call out, you just became a target. it's so normalized now that I have sworn off multiplayer games altogether unless they're co-op and I can play specifically with friends.

it really sucks.

It's hard because people are a lot smarter about how they harras you today than they used to be. It used to just be a shouting match where everyone calls each other homophonic slurs. Now they dig into your profile, follow you around, try to dox you and just generally get really creative about how to fuck you. Fuck all that.

More games should just allow you to disable chat. A friend of mine used to play with a little post-it covering the chat. It allowed him to enjoy the game.
