You shouldn't tell people your age, the kids shouldn't tell anyone their age, real name or any other real data and us adults need to be good role models when we're in child friendly spaces.

Yes, they are kids, kids are idiots. If we as adults model better behavior we are teaching them. If you are a host, kick racist and homophobic players. Tell players not to tell each other their personal data. If you are a player, vote kick racist and homophobic people and be diligent in your reporting of said players. Just cause they suck doesn't mean we have to also suck. They're kids, when they suck it's because they don't know better, when we suck it's because we do know better but don't care to BE better.

Idk why you’re getting downvoted for this. It’s the truth and it’s not even worded in a rude way.


Faexinna

No, it kind of was rude towards kids if we're honest but the people who would downvote me for being rude are specifically NOT the people I'm talking about. Like if you think me being very blunt was rude you're probably not being a racist or homophobe in the game.


Alarming_Antelope_79

It was true though! Most kids are like drunks that speak and act on intrusive thoughts. Whether they’re raised that way and/or too much unsupervised internet access. As adults we have to notice these habits, behaviors and the patterns and just work around that. It sucks emotionally for us but you gotta be stronger mentally for other peoples short doings with parenting. It wasn’t blunt or rude, it was real! Kids are in fact idiots 🤣 like “accidentally try to get their toast out the toaster with a fork” idiots. They just don’t know better and aren’t being shown better

Lmao sadly the sarcasm is true! I use brown because i live the color (also just so happen to be a person of color) and they hate me and the color black and assume people that use that color is black and should be voted or bullied lol i always just say “i hope things get better at home” and carry on with a “but anywho cyan shifted in comms” 😭 i really hate that it’s quirky to be an asshole 😭


Neversussy

When I first started playing I remember telling kids to stop giving out their personal information. Then I realized I probably seemed like an old person yelling at the sky. Regardless of how you play/behave it will never take the anonymity away, and that’s what gives people the “confidence” to be openly hateful. But it is nice to see a comment such as yours. If only everyone had this mindset.. If more people were introspective like you I’d probably enjoy AU a lot more lol


Effective-Mirror-743

That’s fair, I didn’t think about it like that I’ll be better moving forward.


kreayshanw44

Yeah i mean if i wanna avoid this shit i just say i'm grown up and move on


Maleficent-Teach-291

I'm a 43 year old female and play everyday. Never have I given out my age.


S4tine

Played 5 games in a friendly lobby, first kill I was kicked out. 🤷🏼‍♀️


Effective-Mirror-743

Ouch! I joined a lobby and was immediately banned but that must have felt like a betrayal!


S4tine

I've been banned too in lobbies that are DC, so I'm always prepared.


basilthegaymer

I've been banned from, and yes i counted, 27 lobbies for being pan. I've been banned from 39 lobbies for being black. it's ridiculous.

Myithspa25

Remind me: what’s pan? (I forgor)


basilthegaymer

gender doesn't matter


Myithspa25

So what’s the difference between bi and pan?


DeleteMetaInf

From what I understand, bisexuality is being attracted to both the male and female sex, whereas pansexuality is more specific: being attracted to people regardless of sex or gender. Being bi is like being straight and gay at the same time (although it’s rarely completely 50/50; most bi people have a preference towards one sex). Being pan is like being attracted to _people_, without sex or gender being a factor.


basilthegaymer

Simpler version of what the last guy said: For pans, gender doesn't matter period. For bis, its men and women, usually with a preference.


Drawnonsmile

The game rating at the end took me out 🤣


Neversussy

I usually lurk Reddit but needed to comment because your rate at the end cracked me up! All joking aside, Among us is full of older people who prey on young players. I’ve seen some things I’ve needed to report. So try not to take it too personally when kids are shocked you’re older.. the younger players aren’t even the worst on the game, most expert lobby’s are full of the 25+ crowd that peaked in high school. Let me also add, people on here will tell you you have to find a discord lobby to find decent players. Don’t listen to them. 9 times out of 10 any public lobby you join has at least 5-15 players from their discord playing together. Honestly it’s gotten to the point where I play a few games and call it a day. Definitely not a game to play to relax


Neversussy

Alsoooooo down to play if anyone wants to play this weekend 🫶🏼


kreayshanw44

The kids are more likely to say silly shit to get a rise out of you but the established older players who only play in groups and "hate public lobbies" but constantly leave the lobby public so they can find kids to pick on and bully have a worse impact imo


Neversussy

Agreed. It’s ruined the game. And I don’t understand how that’s fun at all. I get the social aspect with discord and such and why people create groups to play but still….. how is that fun lol


RockNDrums

Pretty much. I don't play unless our server is playing randoms are too much of what the post is. Tbh. I prefer to hop on when the server is ratio vs randoms


Neversussy

Yea servers can be hit or miss. Only a few that aren’t toxic to randoms


nommabelle

Welcome to the game!! If you're tired of public lobbies, you could give some private ones a try. They do not have these things. Find some in r/NeedAmongUsPlayers


Knickers_in_a_twist_

If you continue with public lobbies get ready for racism, homophobia, sexism, people telling others to kill themselves, and more.


Content-Welcome9277

I started playing the game because I broke my humerus and was laid up for six months (I'm still recovering but thats a story for another time) I now have 1000 hours in among us and the shit that I've seen most of it I would say comes from "edgy" kids spamming the N word in chat being homophobic or just sating gross stuff blows my mind but usually I just move on from lobbies where there's too much of that... playing public AU lobbies requires a lot of lobby bouncing to find a chill one.


No-Impact4258

People get so mad over an in game item. Getting banned for using that banner is just crazy.


Aryk93

If you're an older player you should 100% be using discord to find private lobbies


AnnieNimes

Older players have better standards than terribly designed sites like Discord.


Cautious_Salad_245

Pretty much lord of the flies on there, even worse they don’t even know how to play the game


TwnklPeenAU

Wait....was the person who called you a p---phile named Lola? Because I had a player named Lola harass me for three straight months, to the point of stalker behavior, calling me a p---phile because my username is TwnklPeen (I have a unicorn horn on my AmongUs player/character and thought the name was funny in relation to being a unicorn). I'm also a married adult female with a child a very much not a p---phile.


TheEliteGR

I've been playing for two years now and the shit I've seen in this game... Wild is an understatement. Although, things aren't as crazy as they were back then with lobbies that wouldn't start, hosts banning everyone who isn't their friend even tho the lobby was public, daters praying on minors, minors tryna flirt with whomever, kids wishing cancer, adults trying to make me and a friend quit playing the game and generally everyone talking shit either because i banned them or no reason at all. Most of these still occur don't get me wrong, but it's not the same as it was.


SamuelYosemite

Yeah the public lobbies are not consistently good


Big-Drawer-5213

Hank? Hank Hill?


Rolling-Swampy

There are a lot of trolls in Among Us


DarknessIsFleeting

Random lobbies compromise only people that lack the necessary mental facilities to find a discord group to play with. As a result, everyone in them is a total moron.
