I think we're living very harsh times due to the COVID-19 pandemic, during which there has been an increase of anxiety and stress that cause by being in quarantine, plus the existence of friends and/or family sick of COVID-19; this is why I believe that playing Age of Empires is a way of escaping this current reality we're living in. For all these reasons I consider that racism in this day and age is something that shouldn't be taken slightly and should be punished properly.
All this related to the events from sunday involving a player that surely we all know, Capoch.He was on his stream playing with more than 600 viewers watching a ranked 1v1 against a mexican player (Lobodelanieve a Solid 2k-2k1 player), Capoch lost and started throwing insults at him, and,unfairly accusing him of cheating, just because he supposedly made suspicious moves, but in reality he did not do anything strange, I checked the recorded game more than three times and I did not perceive anything strange, Lobo made intelligent movements, taking the opportunity to put a castle when he had army superiority and that action was the beginning of all.
Lobo tried to talk with him after the match in the chat but Capoch just banned him without reason.
I think for him it is very common to say rubbish since this isn't the first time it happens, a month ago Capoch did the same to LaaaaaN, I remember the match was celt vs lithuanians and Capoch went for very fast drush and when he arrives the LaaaaN’s base, LaaaN was already walled and with loom, because that Capoch started to blame LaaaN, accusing him of stream cheating, LaaaN tried to explain why he has loom and walled his berries, but Capoch just Ban him from his chanel as well.
It seems like a small thing, but it is really annoying for people who play honorably(LaaaaN and Lobo) to be judged by a streamer who bans you when you are trying to explain what happened.
Capoch probably doesn't know the power of his words, but the people that don't know who are LaaaN or Lobo just started to blame them as well… saying things like "shitty Mexicans", "mexican cheaters", and yes mexicans as in plural, not just the one he was playing against, which is an offense to all of us mexicans, as well as an act of racism that is apparently common amongst argentinians, as there have been other player from the country being accused of this same thing.
If you see the AoE Facebook groups right now there are a lot of comments saying “Lobo stream cheater” “All mexicans are the same ****” “It's normal in Argentina to talk like that, don't be part of the crystal generation” (I have screenshots as well if you’re trying to deny this)
Another thing is that it's not only against the Mexican community, but also against the Asians, specifically with an old and well known player Tim member of WWP team, that he has this attitude and racist comments. Tim was playing him on migration and Capoch started insulting him with things like "shitty chinese", "you're this needy for points", "small ****", so this is not only a problem with the mexicans but in general, seems racism is natural in him. I wonder what would the community think about someone behaving like that?
How hypocritical can you be to be talking **** about a nation (possibly the largest) that has contributed so much to the game with incredible amounts of money for tournaments and not to mention its excellent players.
I am writing this here because we are being censored from other Hispanic community sites and these racist actions that should not be normalized since the AoE community is small and directly affects a large part of the players.
Capoch already deleted the VoD and the Clips from his channel(Why?,If he never insults anyone), but fortunately I downloaded the Clips as proof. (Special thanks to Bl4ck for this tip)
The first proof is this :
https://youtu.be/0LAEinLhCXM
CAPOCH : Poner favorite migración ¿Que tan looser puedes ser realmente ? Osea banear Arabia y poner favorite migración realmente es de p*ja chica,(énfasis) de p*ja chica bien Chino.
[En]Capoch: Set migration as favorite… How looser can you really be? I mean ban Arabia and set migration as favorite is really little d*ck,(emphasis) little d*ck as Chineses.
The second proof :
CAPOCH: Mirá qué dudoso hermano, qué dudoso no me scouteaste nunca, hermano salí del stream hijo de p*ta molero, que molero hijo de p*ta, nunca me scouteo esto.
Nota: En la expresión “molero” es evidente que refleja intolerancia, odio y discriminacion a personas mexicanas con bajos recursos.
[En] Capoch : Look, how suspicious brother, how suspicious you never scout me, brother get out from my stream son of b*tch molero, what a molero son of b*tch, he never scout this side.
Note: In the expression "molero" it is evident that it reflects intolerance, hatred and discrimination against mexican people with low resources.
I personally feel disappointed by how the Latino community overlooked this situation, I hope they think about the community a little and do not normalize this type of toxic behavior that in the end affects us all.
That's all I want to say, thanks to the people who took the time to read my most sincere and honest opinion, have a good day and hopefully the AoE grows like never before.
