Examining Toxic Netizen Stupidity That Can Damage Esports
Remember the case that happened to a football club that was forced to pay billions of rupiah in fines because of the stupidity of its own supporters? What is the meaning of sport without fans, it is undeniable that the development of E-Sports to what it is today is nothing but because it has many fans. However, the presence of fans in the world of sports is like a double-edged knife, especially behind-the-scenes fans or toxic netizens.
On the one hand, with many fans, it can be a boost for the team that competes. But on the other hand, the existence of hard-line fans can actually destroy the sport itself. In Indonesia alone, there are around 60 million people who are loyal fans of eSports, and it is estimated that this will continue to increase to reach 100 million in 2020.
Imagine if half of those fans were toxic netizens, who often made negative comments to other teams. Of course this can trigger hostility among supporters of esports teams, and tragically can lead to violence between themselves in the community.
Examining the stupidity of the twelfth player or who is often called supporters or fans or netizens does need a serious deepening. Mutual ridicule seems to have become a culture, even this primitive culture has been carried over into the Mobile Legends Professional League (MPL) Indonesia Season 5.
Rex Regum Qeon (RRQ) Hoshi player, Joshua “LJ” Darmansyah even had to remind all esports fans not to be toxic, by ending mockery and sarcasm to fans of other teams. Joshua said that being toxic because it will only harm, even destroy esports itself. According to Joshua, fans should be able to create a positive esports environment with lots of fun.
“Don’t be toxic, because we all have to create a positive esports environment with lots of fun. Not even knocking each other down. All of that is not really, guys, ” said LJ.
“I want to remind RRQ fans to stop saying bad things to other teams. Because we’re all friends. In the game we may be enemies but apart from that we are all friends. The previous words that were not good were just a joke, to make the match more exciting and hot,” he explained.
“Beyond that we are all friends, sportsmanship, and support each other. So stop insulting, let’s work,” he concluded.
Joshua did not forget to express his gratitude to RRQ’s loyal fans who have always supported RRQ Hoshi to win the Mobile Legends Professional League (MPL) Indonesia Season 5 regular season.
“Thank you to all of you who have supported us from week one to eight. We have now made it to the play-offs and continue to support us. See you in the play-offs. VIVA RRQ!”
campaign in the form of banners with positive slogans such as “Stop insulting, let’s work“It’s been done many times. However, eliminating toxins from behind-the-scenes fans or netizens seems impossible. O you (inconsequential fans) must know, the game of some people in the team you may think is bad, but nothing is much worse than your behavior.
