It is with a heavy heart that I invoke you, the WCReplays community, to weigh in and offer advice about how I should approach my friendship with Jacob Campbell, also known as FlameChamp23 or by his reddit username
reddit.com/u/geraltofrivia2345
I have been playing Warcraft 3 with Jacob starting late 2005, early 2006 and we have been described as thick as thieves since that stretch of time. We were such close Internet friends that one summer, some years ago when I was traveling across the country that he invited me over to his house in Tulares, California. When I got there I was shocked to see a morbidly obese nearly 30-year-old man that lived with his parents purporting to be my great Internet friend, the renowned FlameChamp23. My mental vision of him was more of a lithe Japanese athlete, as that was the image he projected online being a fanatic of Japanese RPGs. But here stood a balding fat man of such great rotundness that I could scarcely fathom how he managed to squeeze out of his house (or if he ever indeed even ventured forth outside) and with a nasty disposition "welcoming" me at his door, perhaps my surprise registered on my face and he took great offense to it, for he was quite surly with me my entire stay there.
Here are just some of the incidents that I had to endure: -When we were in his kitchen I saw how skinny his dog was, and I asked why he didn't feed it. He told me that they couldn't afford dog food that month and for me to shut up as it was none of my concern. I said that he obviously seemed to have more than enough food for himself so why couldn't he share with his pet? (He is easily over 400 lbs) This enraged him and he rushed at me and took his meaty, sausage-like fingers and wrapped them around my throat and slammed me into the wall. Then he laughed and let go bragging about how he could easily out-muscle me calling me a "twink," and I said "no one can move the human blob," which only angered him even more so, so he grabbed his parent's phone which was still a landline and corded, and wrapped the cord around my neck and started strangling me again, he screamed into my face, "if you fat shame me again I'll kill you where you stand you skinny punk." Eventually he let go as I am sure my face turned blue, and as I struggled for breath I apologized.
-He also relentlessly mocked my luscious lips, calling me a "big lipped coon," and I said many male models happen to have lips like mine and they were a gift from my Person of Color heritage. But he just laughed and continued to mock my ethnic appearance with racial slurs.
I left his place as soon as possible, and never returned. Still, I forgave him and remained Internet friends with him and we have played many a game of Warcraft 3 together, along with another friend. He still hurls hurtful invective my way relentlessly, he mocked me once for being a bathroom camera installer bragging that he didn't have to work because his parents provided him a 5 star hotel experience complete with room service, and that he lived basically like a feudal lord, which in my short stay there seemed to be the case as his parents doted on him but he treated them like serfs whose reason for existence was only to serve him.
He also mocked my current profession which is a Repo Man, I saw the film by the same name and became inspired. He cruelly derided the choice of profession saying that I would be murdered by "them coons in the ghetto, and when they slice you up don't say I didn't warn you idiot." I said maybe so, the life of a Repo Man is always intense, and that I loved my job, also I tried to reprimand him for his racial slurs and reminded him that I myself am a Person of Color and took great offense to his hurtful bigotry. Which he followed by calling me a "pathetic loser" that has to work, and again bragging about how well he has it with his parents, even now he is a 32-year-old man living with them, and he bragged that they bought him ona-holes and Japanese pornographic material, saying he didn't need a "3d woman" since he had a waifu (from some anime, I don't remember which but he became furious when after he sent me a picture and asked me to rate her and I said "ugly I guess I'm not attracted to cartoons" after which he blocked me from all communication with him for 9 months).
The reason I bring all of this up is because the other friend in our group and him had played a game of Warcraft 3 today which didn't go well, Jacob began blaming him for his own bad play, and even tried to blame me for some reason when I wasn't even online and had nothing to do with their game! Here is the picture he took of their steam conversation, Jacob's account is marked out in red:

Here again he calls me a loser unprovoked, which is so rich because as I have mentioned he is a 32-years-old male ape leader that still lives with his parents without gainful employment preferring instead to consider himself a feudal lord! He even tried lying on me, saying I talk to underage girls in chat rooms, I hate to say this about my friend but he is slow, almost retarded (no offense), and mixed up the situation. Some years ago I posted chatlogs of me catfishing pedophiles while pretending to be a 13-year-old girl myself, I shared the conversations on a forum we both posted at and many people found them funny and suggested that I report the chatlogs to the police, but the experience left me with such an oily and queasy feeling, like I was slimed and no shower would cleanse me, so I instead started catfishing as an old woman (increasing the age even to 99 with great success:

Yesterday also when he asked for the link to my thread on here where I received unwarranted hatred and bigotry from white supremacist trolls I expected that he would come to my aid and support me, instead he took their side to deliberately whore for karma which he even admitted to me on Steam!
TL;DR my friend FlameChamp23 (
reddit.com/u/geraltofrivia2345) is abusive mentally and physically, and calls me a loser despite himself being a 32-year-old no-good that lives with his parents and keeps a "waifu" while making love to himself with sex toys, and brags about his reddit karma and the fact that he doesn't have to work. My question is this: would you guys continue to be online friends with such a person? Largely I keep him around to have someone to play Warcraft 3 with, but is it worth the emotional turmoil he puts me through? Many a night I have stayed up wrestling with the decision to just tell him to remove his odious presence from my life, and to darken my door nevermore! Also should I report him to the SPLC for his links to white supremacy and hurtful language against People of Color which might see him featured on their list of online bigots?
