    Video games get rated for their in-game content, not their online community. So we surveyed hundreds gamers in the biggest gaming communities to create the Toxicity Rating. The world's first rating system for online gaming. toxicityrating.com

    Did you see us at #TwitchCon? We shared The Watch’s mission on panels at the conference and billboards in the street.

    The end game: We want Activision and other game developers to come to the table and work with us to make getting racism out of gaming a top priority. This means more transparent reporting, tougher enforcement for in-game racism, and regular engagement with community members.

    Help fight racism in gaming: 1) Watch streamers playing Call of Duty on Twitch 2) If you hear racist language in the background of the stream, clip it using Twitch’s built-in clip function 3) DM us a link of the clip on Twitter @HelpKeepWatch to make an anonymous submission

    Muting racist language is not a real solution. It just masks the problem instead of solving it and forces already marginalized gamers to accept a worse gaming experience. We want to work with game developers to create meaningful change that goes beyond the mute button.

    The goal is to show game developers how widespread racist language is in their games. We don’t want to target any gamers individually and are asking all submissions to be DM’d to us so no bullying takes place. Let’s come together as a community to get racism out of gaming.

    Trash talking is a part of gaming, but racist language and abuse crosses the line. We don’t want to choose what you can or can’t say, we just want to help @CallofDuty enforce their existing rules against racism and encourage them to take enforcement more seriously.

    Racist language doesn’t belong anywhere, but it’s everywhere in gaming. Help us build our case to game developers and encourage them to do more to address racism in their games by sending us clips of racist language you hear on Twitch.

    Don’t let racism hide behind a headset. Join The Watch and get racism out of gaming. Just watch Twitch, clip racist language when you hear it in the background of a stream, and send it to us here. Together, let’s show game developers they need to take real action.

    If racism stays in gaming, gamers will keep leaving.

    Answer the call to get racism off @CallofDuty. Just watch Twitch, clip racism when you hear it in the background of a stream, and DM it to us. Together we can show game developers like @Activision they need to do more to address racism in gaming.

    Stopping racism in gaming starts with recognizing there’s a problem. But the culture of racist language in games like @CallofDuty doesn’t have to continue. @Activision DM us if you want to get racism out of gaming together.
