Have you thought they're speaking it specifically so that other players won't understand? Or more likely, they just do it because it's easier for them and there's no necessity for others to know what they're talking about

You know what, fair. As long as instead of calling everybody slurs you call me trash in a hybrid between mine and Donald duck’s voice like that one guy I met a while ago

Why do you think they called you slurs? Im not say they were not, but if you don't understand then how you get that?

I've learned some Russian slurs for this reason alone, they say these more than actual other words lmao.

It is normal. Russian speakers can use 75% of the speech as slurs never losing the meaning.

swears, not slurs, slurs are targeted to a certain minority, so in russian it'd be stuff like "чурка", which is (usually) not 75% of speech

As he learned "some" slurs and hear them often I assume it were random bad words. There are not too many targeted slurs in Russian and I doubt that non speaker can easily identify these.

Oh. Must be some underdeveloped kids. Im sorry you had to have a conversation with them. 'You, Fuck' are the only English words they know.
