It may exist, but will everyone's experience be dictated by those experiences?

There's a crime in every city, so everyone lock their doors, especially when they're not around, but that doesn't mean everyone has a constant fear of being a victim of a criminal.

If you see someone else being toxic, then report them. You don't fight criminals by merely complaining about them, but not calling the police on them.

And if you're afraid of getting banned, then the problem is more likely you. That's not someone else being toxic. That's you. That said, you're also part of this community as long as you're playing the game. So if you have fear of being banned because of what you may say/do in the game, then it might be a self-fulfilling prophecy to say there is toxicity in the game.

I do report them, so let’s not assume i don’t okay? Don’t really see how the problem is me if i’m afraid of being banned with the way the ToS is in this game but nice gaslighting. It’s not a secret it sucks. Yes i talk about it on the forums but it’s not complaining, it’s called bringing awareness. Tired of seeing all these people act like the community is a saint when the toxicity is prevalent in this very thread alone. Don’t see how it’s a self-fulfilling prophecy though lmao. Please elaborate.

It's not an assumption. It's a general statement. If you report, good. Everyone else should too.

The people doing the gaslighting are those telling people to be quiet or risk getting banned.

Yes i talk about it on the forums but it’s not complaining, it’s called bringing awareness. Tired of seeing all these people act like the community is a saint when the toxicity is prevalent in this very thread alone.

Raising awareness for what reason? If people experience toxicity, they will be aware of it. And if they don't, then it doesn't matter.

And I've never seen anyone acting like the community is a saint. However, it is their experience with the community. And if you're having a different experience with the community, then maybe start to look into why that is the case rather than assuming people are only acting.

And what about this thread? Some people are saying they don't want people who they perceive to be toxic to enter the community. That's not being toxic by itself. That's more fear and suspicion which may be countered by being level-headed and showing how their fear may be unwarranted.

Simply pushing back and calling them toxic doesn't lead to a solution, but just creates more division within the community. And yes, you are part of the community. So if you think some part of the community is not as welcoming as they should be, then simply be the part of the community that is more welcoming. Then try to work out the differences.

Don’t see how it’s a self-fulfilling prophecy though lmao. Please elaborate.

It's a self-fulfilling prophecy if you're (general you) the one who tend to be toxic and then saying this community has toxicity.

Why are you so afraid of getting banned to the point you won't talk at all? I think the way ToS is being enforced in-game is a little bit exaggerated.

Oh, they are very strict and active if a person is being problematic enough. Even so, I can chat casually with other players with no problems at all. I just make sure there's no profanity involved and it's not inappropriate. Back when the ToS changes were made to be a bit more...vague in this regard, I too felt this way. But honestly, nothing really changed. Guess it just depends on what people say. It seems like a lot of people forgot these important words of wisdom..."If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all."

My belief is that most people complaining about ToS enforcement are those who can't say a sentence witout cussing or insulting someone. In my circles I never heard of anyone being penalised for "bad labguage".

Big part of Asmongold's chat is really toxic, even to himself, but definitely not everyone (especially if you see his latest tweet). From what I heard and saw recently myself, it seems he was quite toxic in the past, but was maturing for the past few years. Atm he seems reasonable to me even though some of his opinions are funny.
