I wanted to thank all the people that I encountered last night in competitive for reminding me that I still carry around the baggage of being bullied at school. I’m glad you took the time to tell me what was on your mind and that you didn’t let our in-game victory affect your judgement of me as a player and as a person. As a grown man looking for some time off it is always nice to sit down to a fun game of “Find the Triggerword” after a day of mind numbing work.

Thankfully you were present and summoned your best selves; quick witted and not hampered by norms. Alphas of society among us down trodden mortals. Just like it was back in the good old days at school, your sense of how one should act towards ones fellow man was as well adjusted as ever.

I can not believe you put so much time and effort into giving me a sense of being seen and heard. The centre of attention, I was. Especially that time when you all died because you made a stupid decision and our opposing team made a great play. Even then you thought of me and gave me invaluable input that is certain to improve me as a player and as a human. I thank you for not letting any social, cultural, or linguistic barriers keep you from speaking your heart. To educate. To improve others. You must be a blessing to your local community and family, so vocal and unafraid. A doer, not a thinker.

I will continue to receive, wholeheartedly, your constructive feedback on my playstyle and character choice, sexuality, race, and of course, your opinion of my mother. Sometimes so humbly said that only **** remain. But for us listening, the meaning is clear. I look forward to the unimaginable sense of belonging I feel for this community every time I am asked if my life really is worth living.

Especially at this high level of play, namely Silver league, it is vital that you take advantage of your unbridled disregard for other humans and their feelings to keep the skills of your team mates to the highest of standards.

May you set the bar for us and future generations of gamers and humans.

With love and respect,
Bread
