Tell MAMA UK (Monitoring Anti-Muslim Attacks) are publishing engaging new content as part of their social media campaign to bring awareness to the issue of hate in the online gaming community and request your support. They write:
This is a phenomenon that particularly impacts young people with diverse identities. By the end of 2016 we saw a noticeable increase in reports of Anti-Muslim hate from young people playing multiplayer games online. In 2016 online hate made up just under half of all anti-Muslim attacks and the phenomenon of hate within online gaming is quickly growing. However the issue of hate within the online gaming community has gained little scope within public awareness. We need to change this:
