18 Things Only Gamers In Their 20s Will Understand

14. You Remember When Online Gaming Wasn't Full Of Racists

Not real, proper "I'm gonna do something about this"-kinda racists, more the 13 year-old "I'm just sayin the worst thing that comes to mind" type.

Still, back when Xbox Live and PS Plus kicked off, people were friendly to each other; lots of "Where ya from?" and "So how how far you got in the single player?" - y'know, nice things to say to each other?

Now you're more likely to have your mother insulted as you get headshot'd from across the map by someone who's just about to be told their dinner's ready, all before said proponent of 'ownage' has their teammates teabag your corpse into oblivion.

And they wonder why hardly anyone wants to play online.
