why is the global chat so incredibly dumb

this is for lordaeron, idk if it's the same on the other realms

i know this doesn't represent everyone and i can just ignore the global chat or its bad actors and i will from now on i guess but i need to complain somewhere because i'm pissed off lmao

so one moment you're chilling seeing people looking for group and recruiting for guilds on the global chat and then all of a sudden someone says "hitler wasn't wrong" and the worst, most racist/xenophobic conversation about slavery starts

then you or anyone tries to say something rational and you get mockingly called a "POC" as they continue talking trash about every single minority ever existed

like who gives a single FRICK what color your skin is or where the HECK you come from, just don't spread ignorance and be willing to learn, but it seems like this is too much to ask for some people

whatever, this has been happening since i started playing and i've been harboring this feeling of disgust since then

So we here serve a role of a meatsleeve where to unload your hurt your feelings.

You print this on a paper and go read it to your mom.

Then come back and use /ignore system.

The global chat on Lordaeron (and possibly other realms) can be toxic due to a mix of anonymous users, lack of moderation, and the tendency for some individuals to provoke or spew hateful comments. This often results in disturbing and offensive discussions, overshadowing the positive interactions like group recruitment or guild recruitment. While ignoring or reporting such behavior is one approach, a more effective solution involves increasing community moderation and fostering a more respectful environment where learning and understanding are encouraged, not mocked.

I think AI generated copypasta trash like this is way more damaging to any discussion than some random 13year old edgelords saying edgy things.

Infinite monkeys with typewriters, but one of us already cranked out Shakespear so this is what's left.
