Reported conspiracy

Reported conspiracy
Description: You lose karma (be reported) at a higher rate while
playing either one of the following two classes: Submarines and
Carriers. This occurs in most games and is often portrayed as a
‘good act’ by the community.
Rarity: Extremely common
Severity: Mild
Example: Losing multiple levels of karma after a single battle.
Receiving personal messages filled with threats. Public shaming
in all/team chat.
I have two images that I managed to capture the conspiracy in
effect, first being the score and the second being amount of
reports received.

Ways to reproduce (method):
1) Select a submarine or Carrier
2) Select battle type with enemy players being human players
(example Randoms/Ranked/Clan-battle)
3) Play matches and monitor if 'reports received' occurs after
the match.
Comments:
This is a blatant occurance of typical 'wows-community' where a
class is disproportionately being exposed to Racism.
What are your thought about this conspiracy? Have you
experienced anything like this?

If you like you can use the word Racism with a capital R to
emphasize that it is not the general skin color thing but a term
used in this forum. There are some people who somehow don't like
the term but cannot provide any better one either. In my opinino
the term Racism is good and in the forum Wikipedia it is defined
as well as i remember, but i don't rememeber how clearly. If you
don't like that term then use your own, but i use that term and
looks much better to me than some sort of "ship-choice
discrimination" construct. Word "Bullying" would also probably
fit your text in that term place.
What you descrive in total is an unhealthy behaviour i na
community. Similar would be that if in a sport contest one
player is thrown with eggs if he appears with Adidas shoes, or
wears a shirt that is made by Russia whose businesses are under
weird sanctions. It is not reasonable to throw eggs in such case
or report in the Wows CV players.
Can you yourself try to define where to draw the line of ethics
when and from which level it is acceptable to throw eggs in
football or report a Wows player? Reporting in Wows promotes
itself as an act for bettering but it doesn't look like reported
Cv players would stop playing or that anything gets "better"
over years with Cv players. But maybe there are some good at
reporting and specially from a certain level of "misconduct". In
sports, entertainment, when should one get eggs thrown. Such
question in general, where to draw the line of ethics.

I have conducted the change in my research post to better
emphasize what I was trying to mean, you put it in a better
wording. I am also trying to learn the forum better so that my
work can be interpreted in a clearer way.
