Harassment to Asmongold on his 1st day stream is an Embarassment to FF Community

If it's always a minority then maybe people should stop taking on a crusade that the community is toxic. It's a behavior akin to, if not worse than the 'evangelists', and I don't mean because toxicity doesn't exist. I mean because those trying to show otherwise blatantly know exactly why this is poor etiquette and practice to do in general. Simple as that.

This 'crusade' is just a natural response to how genuinely self-righteous this community can become regarding it's supposed moral superiority. A community can't preach and highroad for as long as this one has and then skate by with no ridicule when it's responsible for some of the most excessive, high profile toxic behavior this genre has seen in a while.

When people say the community is toxic they're referring specifically to the toxicity, and they're right. It doesn't mean they're talking about you, or even the majority of the players. The toxicity is there, though, and FFXIV more than most games should be called out on it, because this community more than most likes to pretend it doesn't exist.

I think the fact that this thread and this discussion exist already proven that you are wrong. A toxic community would be posting celebratory posts on what those people did to Asmongold.

While I do believe the majority of players in ALL online games are nice, this is still just one thread and a handful of people. I'd argue a community that considers itself as genuinely kind as this one does wouldn't have needed a GM response and a banwave to stop it's players from gang harassing someone just because he's a high-profile player of a different game.
