When it comes to Arena of Valor, it can be said that this is one of the most famous mobile games in Vietnam. In terms of release time and player count, not many games can compare to Arena of Valor. Moreover, this game frequently appears in the media, being referred to by VTV as a “flagship game.”
That alone is enough to show that, although Arena of Valor is not globally famous, it is the most successful Mobile MOBA game in the Vietnamese market, with the highest number of players. Arena of Valor also attracts many young gamers, if not “underage” ones, who are regularly experiencing and following live-streamed tournaments.
Therefore, the vulgar remarks of a famous commentator of this game will undoubtedly have negative impacts on the mindset and thoughts of a portion of younger players. It is worth mentioning that this is not the first time this commentator has made uncontrolled comments on his personal page.
Recently, this commentator directly shared on his livestream. He expressed his feelings with a series of “joking” remarks, even including “swearing”: “Go home, today’s viewing should be enough. **, shout at the ***, shout with no reason, just to get the tower, shout to get it. For the lousy tower. There, go home, go home!”.
Previously, in January 2022, this commentator posted on his personal Facebook with relatively “strong” remarks. Specifically: “And what the ** is all my fault, yes I take it all.” Following that, in the comments section, he also used many relatively inappropriate terms to respond to the online community. Perhaps this came from some overly zealous comments from a portion of internet users blaming the loss on the commentator’s predictions and wishes. However, with the status of a famous person in a certain community, “deviant” remarks will likely affect his image as well as that of the game Arena of Valor.
It must be remembered that although Arena of Valor is labeled 18+, the reality is that there are many underage gamers – individuals who are still in the process of developing and shaping their personalities. Vulgar remarks, whether posted on a personal page or during a livestream, but made public by a person of significant influence, will undoubtedly have a negative impact on a large portion of followers. Unfortunately, this is not the first time Arena of Valor players have had to witness and hear vulgar language from someone who should be building a polished and decent image for themselves.
