"S- s- s- s- stop stuttering, faggot."

"S- s- s- s- stop stuttering, faggot." Gee whiz! With that advice, I'll be stutter-free in no time! That doesn't make me feel shitty about myself in any way, at all! I just don't get the thought process of some people. I know that some are trolls and get a kick out of it, but how f'd in the head do you have to be to demoralize a kid? A bit of backstory. My brother and I both have stutters. Mine is pretty severe, his is mild and only shows up from time to time. We're playing Overwatch, having a fun time. My microphone is muted because I'm also listening to music as I play. He's talking to the team, having a nice time as we're winning. A few seconds later, a guy comes on the mic. He's clearly over 20, and just starts flaming him. Saying stuff about how he's retarded, mocking him, you know, the usual. I'm about 7 years older than my brother. I've had more time to deal with my stutter, and I've gotten it under wraps most of the time. I know how these people act, and now I know what to do (thanks to some users on this very sub!). I run upstairs and turn off his xbox. I know that may seem like the weak thing to do, just running away, but I don't want this guy to do what some other assholes did to me a few years back. I talk with my brother and we tell our parents. I report the guy, my brother reports him, and I get a few of my friends to report him for good measure. This all happened a few days ago. I'm still, just... seething. At the thought that people like this exist. Grown men, trying to destroy the self-confidence of a child. Anonymity will do that to you. Sorry if this isn't the right place for this. I just wanted to tell someone, anyone, that wasn't in my direct circle of friends & family. For any other young gamers that stutter: if someone is flaming you or mocking your stutter and they won't stop, either mute them entirely or just leave. Good luck out there.
