GTA V RP streamer gets racially harassed multiple times during live broadcast MsAshRocks, Twitter \/ TwitchIt\u2019s no secret that online platforms can harbor overwhelming amounts of toxicity, and gaming communities are not exempt from this rule \u2013 but a session of GTA V RP turned out to be a harrowing experience for one player. \u201cGTA V roleplay\u201d is a modification of the popular Rockstar title, allowing players to get even more immersed in the game by taking on the role of an NPC and interacting with fellow roleplayers. While most RP servers enforce strict rules and boast faithful communities, some players do not adhere to these guidelines \u2013 resulting in a less-than-savory experience for one user. 600https:\/\/twitter.com\/MsAshRocks\/status\/1143413820460638208?s=20Twitch streamer \u2018MsAshRocks\u2019 was participating in a storyline during a broadcast in late June when she became a victim of targeted, racial harassment, as her character is a black, female paramedic. One clip from her stream shows a car suddenly running over her character while she was \u201cinvestigating\u201d a crime scene, with the perpetrator shouting obscenities and racial slurs as she yells in surprise. MsAshRocks wasn\u2019t the only one shocked by the incident: her fellow RPer\u2019s likewise found the debacle \u201call kinds of fucked up,\u201d but that wasn\u2019t the end of the harassment, by far. The streamer was targeted yet again by another racist player, who mowed her down in a semi truck and yelled repeated racial slurs toward her \u2013 a tirade that was so appalling, MsAshRocks went silent. MsAshRocks\u2019 fellow players deduced that there must have been two harassers, with her chat expressing shock and sympathy that she was being targeted in such a brutal manner. Despite the distressing harassment, MsAshRocks has decided to remain fiercely positive in light of the drama, choosing to be a \u201clight\u201d in her community to counter the hate. \u201cYou\u2019re looking at a strong black woman that won\u2019t take shit from anyone,\u201d she wrote in a Tweet following the stream. \u201cI know I am a positive light in this community and you will not dim it! EVER. I am a black woman and I deserve to be listened to. Period. I will share any and everything I encounter and overcome.\u201d You\u2019re looking at a strong black woman that won\u2019t take shit from anyone :shrug::skin-tone-5:\u2640\ufe0f I know I am a positive light in this community and you will not dim it!

After Greek asked if the streamer was actually crying, toxic members of his audience flocked to her chat, accusing her of being \u201cmentally unstable\u201d and calling her broadcast, \u201cthe worst stream I\u2019ve ever seen.\u201d While Greekgodx later apologized to the streamer and denied any involvement with the toxic viewers, MsAshRocks has received no such sentiment from her harassers as of June 26.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
