A new study by the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) warned that one in five adults reported being exposed to white supremacist ideologies in online games in 2022, with Jewish gamers experiencing the most harassment.
The ADL Center for Technology & Society called the results of the survey a “startling increase” from the 8 percent who reported exposure to extremism in 2021.
The Hate and Harassment in Online Games survey also found that 15 percent of young people ages 10-17 reported being exposed to discussions of white supremacist ideologies in online games, including popular games such as Call of Duty, Fortnite, Grand Theft Auto, PUBG: Battlegrounds, Valorant and World of Warcraft.
“White supremacists and extremists are pushing their ideas into the mainstream across society, including online games,” said ADL CEO Jonathan Greenblatt. “We know that what starts online doesn’t always end online. It can have deadly consequences in our communities. Online gaming companies have the ability to better moderate their content, but most have fully abdicated any responsibility to protect users and their communities.”
The study found that adult users also experienced a sharp increase in identity-based harassment, with Jews being the most likely to be targeted (34 percent compared to 22 percent in 2021) along with Latino (31 percent compared to 25 percent in 2021) and Muslim (30 percent compared to 26 percent in 2021) gamers.
The study noted that overall, women experienced the most identity-based harassment at 47 percent, but this number has declined since 2019.

My son had a user name for gaming of “BongBongOnTheHead”. I don’t think he uses it anymore, and I don’t even know if he games anymore. But nothing Jewish about that name. This is pure silliness.
Define “white supremacy.” Even anti-semitic remarks praising Hitler are not necessarily white supremacist, and even unquestionably white supremacist statements are not necessarily made by whites. You can pretend to be anyone online, for many different motives.
No, at least 25% are only getting bitched at for victimizing the other 75%, who are all “victimizing” each other. A circle jerk of victimhood.
Define “white supremacy.”
White people who like Diana Ross and her old girl band.
I am an avid gamer and I can attest to the fact that racism is rampant in gaming, and 99% of it comes from people from other countries, or young children in the US.
The funny thing is that my Jewish buddy got the Nazis (siege of the Dzerzhinsky works) and kicked my butt :-)
How do they know? Don’t players use avatars and “screen names?”
Here’s a thought. Don’t play stupid video games.

Have you ever wondered what it’s like to be the 47th Vice President of the United States and Presidential Professor of Practice, Joseph Robinette Biden Jr? Now’s your chance! Hop on your scooter and navigate Locust as you travel from Perry World House to your meeting with Amy Gutmann.
I am very pro-Israel and very pro-Jewish.
That said I am convinced that the ADL anymore is an extortionate grift no different than BLM, NAACP, etc.

Meanwhile, the real Joe Biden has been known to play video games with his family while relaxing at the official presidential retreat at Camp David. Last year, ABC News reported that Naomi Biden, granddaughter of Joe Biden and daughter of Hunter Biden, shared some pictures of her and her grandpa playing Mario Kart on a pair of arcade cabinets during his first visit as President.

While past Presidents have been seen playing video games on occasion, Biden might be the first US President to play them regularly while in office.

So how would any online gamer know the religious, political, or sexual orientation of any other online gamer unless they purposely tell everyone they are Jewish, white, gay, trans, black or anything else?
And apparently they’ve all slept with your mother last night.
At least the 14 year olds.

Young children shouldn’t be given unbridled access to gaming, and their parents should prevent them from behaving that way.
