"Everyone's so open and friendly" is a lie

Again, i point you to the scottzone and lazypeon situations, which both happened to things regarding in game, not on forums or anything, and resulted in death threats and doxxing from the loving amazing community. You seem to have this misconception that the only toxicity here is one where people are being negative, but toxic casualism is rampant at least on the dc that i’m on, and it just promotes laziness and wastes other people’s time. People not aoeing in dungeons in endgame content, or dpsing on healer etc and then getting an attitude when you point it out to them.

this, i remember this and what happened to peon. The video he made about 14 had so many downvotes, comment section was really toxic. Took down the video and then people started to make threats against him.

People have attitudes. This is nothing new. It does not matter whether it's casual or elitism. Such behavior should not be tolerated and outliers in this regard exist in all games. That's not unheard of, it's not refuted. Remember what I sad about bad experiences are wont to be heard? This is part of that. The two you mention are cautionary tales about that sort of thing and players have been actively trying to push out those bad elements since. But for every one of those, there are many more content creators actually having a good experience thanks to (or in some cases in spite of) the community.

We're not perfect by any stretch of the imagination, but when you do comparisons, yes, there is a notable difference. Just like I note the difference between the general attitudes here, and in other parts of the community. Sorry you've been having a rough time with your DC though. Have you considered making a jump? (Please note the irony in that statement, it's meant as a lighthearted joke. We share the same DC.)

What happened in the cases of scottzone and lazypeon was not toxic casualism.

It was toxic fanaticism, or tribalism as some content creators are now referring to it. It was people who are so rabidly obsessed with something that they can't accept negative feedback. There was nothing casual about their responses at all.
