I played a game of overwatch on Christmas Day. Got 1 minute into the match before this bastion player started calling me racial slurs, really really obscure ones like gollywog and I'm there like "I'm not even black wtf" and he just went on and on for the entire first round- all this because I didn't rezz him in spawn the door XD

Wow I've never even heard the term golliwog before.

Sounds like some subterranean fantasy creature that eats rocks and shits out mithril or something.

They used to be collectable dolls, they're actually still available in japan. I literally didn't think anyone in the age bracket of overwatch players would know about them lol
