Why is everyone on these forums so toxic?

Just a simple question. Players can’t post a single thread on these forums without a horde of people just bashing them. The tone you guys have with eachother is awful. You guys are scaring away all of the normal players with this bullsh*t…

Have you ever concidered that people can have different opinions and preference? Do we have to hate on everyone that has a different opinion? Why can’t u guys respect that everybody doesn’t think exactly like you…
So why are you guys so damn toxic?

Much like 90% of the internet is just very negative & hateful people or straight up children and the majority adapts to that, i get hatecomments on my drawings just because i draw furry art, and i am against NSFW art on my channel … i dont even draw anything that would be considered ‘‘cringy’’ its just incredibly basic s**t

I’m not new to the internet. There will always be trolls and I know that. But this place is on an other level.

I don’t get you, the forums is just as toxic as pretty much majority of the internet …? no?

Maybe i just get bashed for being a furry so much that i don’t notice the difference :thinking:

I haven’t seen anything new. Just same as everywhere else, head out to steam forums for example.

It’s not.
Even facebook is worse than this place.
This just looks like any other forum i’ve been on.

But that really doesn’t answer the question. Why is it like that?
Everybody excuse their behavior with saying “well internet is supposed to be like this” or “well if everyone else is being toxic I’ll be toxic too”.

I just don’t why that is…

Anonymity, peer behavior, larping, fun, internet culture.
There’s not 1 reason.

To be honest, i find most businesses to more toxic than our forums.
People on the road are more toxic.
People at parties are more toxic.

We’re humans.
Humans create conflict over differences.
There’s 300 000 years of conflict and you’re worried about wow forums?

Why? Because humans are scum. But why they are… who can really tell for sure.

Feedback mediums have a negative bias because the happy people are too busy happy playing the game to make forum threads.

Therefore the ones who have a reason to complain are more common.

we live in a world where many are unable to accept the prospect of people having differing opinions

so they have to attack them. it’s been a thing for ages

I agree its much worse than other forums I visit. In my experience gaming forums are worse than many other forums. Perhaps the toxic people are frustrated with their lives because all they do is play videogames?

Kinda projecting there buddy.

psst this is what toxic people say

But you have already used that move.

But yes, Im projecting my frustration that I have wasted too much time playing games lately. My first step out was to cancel my subscription. The next step will be to stop posting here and start reading the books Im supposed to read.

He rants about “no-lifers” a lot.
Maybe just frustrated he can’t play as much as them?

I think I would become more and more toxic if I didnt change the habit I have created the last 2 months.
