Annotation

This article assays the discourses made in a forum debate corpus related to “DotA 2”, a pop MOBA (multiplayer online battle arena) game where players from each country of the world rally, which induces specific prejudice forms, mainly to Russian gamers. It assays how the biased discourses on Russian players use common sense pragmatics (Sarfati, 2011).
