This game's toxicity is now off the charts.

[Conundrum]

Today when I logged into the game, I was assaulted with an avalanche of derogatory slurs in Limsa. People were making fun of a queer Twitter user who rightly pointed out that there are many toxic individuals joining this game. They started to make transphobic jokes like:

[14:59][censored]: um please respect my pronouns it's xe/xim/xer
[15:03][censored]: you can tell he has mental issues just by his twitter profile
[15:03][censored]: um hello respect their pronouns?? (this was said ironically)

I've also seen two incidents of the r-slur today. I've literally never seen this ableist slur used before July 2021. It's also no coincidence that a certain streamer also used the r-slur on his stream while streaming FF14.

Certain elements from hateful alt-right websites like 4chan have also infiltrated this game. Hate speech like "kek" have drastically increased in frequency.

I can only hope this is a temporary wave and these hateful figures will be gone when Endwalker arrives. This is the worst experience I ever had in Final Fantasy XIV and the ableism and transphobia is too much to bear. I'll be turning off my chat log until Endwalker for my own mental health and I encourage others to do the same. I salute the brave Warriors of Light who are actually reading all this radioactive toxic waste and reporting them to the GMs. I could never do the same.

I would say "we told you so" but I don't want to get death threats in my e-mail.

Very much a Titanmen alt. Considering they are ALL POSTING AT THE SAME TIME again.


I guess they got back from their vacation or whatever. Was a nice break though.

I don't know who he is, but that post had way to many "controversial" buzz words to be authentic.

Same guy as Drakonic here and many others. Notorious forum troll, probably buys or creates bot accounts. I do not know. His post quality has been slipping a lot recently.

The funny thing is, no matter how obvious, he still gets attention.
People cant help themselves lmao

I just don't understand why a person would do such a thing like this. Like, is he so starved for attention that he would do this in a forum that is not even that active? I find such behavior way beyond pathetic, it just reaches the realm of sadness for me personally, like I'm literally sad for this person for him to behave this way.

Yeah, if you're reading this, the person who make all these accounts just for... what exactly? Doubtful whatever I'm saying is gonna change anything, but I truly feel sad for you, really.

I think the general consensus would be .... yes, they are that starved for attention...any attention. yes, they really do seem to be that pathetic. it is very sad and you do have to pity someone who's sole existence and value seems to be a "forum troll"

unfortunately, there are people like this on every forum, obviously they lack things in other aspects of their life and perhaps exist only to show us that we could be doing worse.

Yes who knows. Some enjoy it and some not. I'm still hoping he hops on to his Militaryvet character and posts with it xD

I take it you've yet to visit Twitter.

Twitter is a primal and nothing anyone says can convince me otherwise.
