I think most people with a double digit IQ are more than aware in any large community there will be unsavoury people.

When this subject comes up, for the 18th time on any given day on the forums I always think of this,

"If on your way to work you met a rude person, move on and forget about it, rude people exist. However, if by the time you get home you have done nothing but deal with rude people all day the chances are the rude person is you"

People will generally reflect your own attitude back at you. There are exceptions, but if its a common problem you have, use a mirror.
People would be hard pressed to claim this community isn't toxic now, so yes some people are admitting the toxic element exists.

The problem is that plenty are still clinging to the idea that this community is somehow morally superior to that of other games. They basically hold other games accountable for their toxic players, while apparently the crappy things this community does to people don't count because "bad people exist; deal with it!"

This community has real issues that should probably be acknowledged; not dismissed and avoided.
