If you ever wondered why no one takes gamers seriously?
It’s people like this.
He is basically taunting a single player who he targets for “lolz”. His entire goal is to make play for that one person absolutely miserable. This isn’t “a one off plan”. This is a concerted effort by a player and his guild to totally destroy an experience for a single player.
And people wonder why we never get taken seriously.

This is a man wearing a sparkly wizard hat suggesting someone is pathetic therefore they deserve to die… Okaay so gamer culture is pretty weird, disgusting and outright disturbing at times.
Seems like a page straight out of Ophelia’s rules for shitheads.

The man he is bullying is called “The Wiz”.

I didn’t even pick up on that. This guy is even worse than I had originally thought. I floated around on the comments of the video, and I saw a response video as well.
Many others are voicing their anger over this. More than I would have thought. The video I watched did condemn what he said, but tried to paint it as a cusp of the moment act. Which ignored the powerpoint part. And the fact he’s got the hat on to drive the point him makes it worse.

His parents must be proud of his “hobby” Maybe someday he can get a job working in Room 101.

What a stand-up guy. What a sterling example of reasoned discourse and civil disagreement. Don’t dare ban him from anything — that would be censorship.
