Bro here in Brazil, we have slurs in the millions since gaming took of in the 90s

The number reaches the Brazillions

hahaha ;D

I used to play Rune Quake with a guy on MPlayer named 'svfox' and he was from Brazil - this was 96/97. I miss him sometimes; we managed to lock down games of Rune Quake and CTF we played so well together.

I don't think I've met any Brazilians back in those days; (online) gaming is really expensive there from what I heard, right?

One fun thing in the old COD lobbies was always to teach others slurs and general cursing in your language. I learned how to curse folks out in like 50 languages. Each country also has its own unique style of cursing. We Dutch really like to incorporate diseases for example.

Oh yeah, I was so bewildered when I read "kanker, ga lopen!" for the first time!

Wild times but no voice chat so that was nice 👍
