I'm not showing bias because I didn't even mention hardcore players. I'm pointing out that there's a lot of people who are so heavily biased towards hating raiders that they cannot stand anything that shows them even in a neutral light, they have to paint raiders as evil, no matter what. These people very obviously exist and it's a choice they make.

I also like the part where you expect said casuals to somehow feel sorry for "the other side" when said other side has been nothing but hostile for years, constantly blaming them for everything that goes wrong in this game
You're ignoring the part where self-proclaimed casuals have also been blaming those "toxic evil raiders" for years on end now, but sure.

That doesn't sound like "kindness" so much as "coercion" given the implication that they still let the random die (and may or may not have caused it to happen themselves) and THEN want to "negotiate" by leveraging de-leveling over their head as a way to make them beg for a raise and then leave.
This is your personal interpretation because you believe that the organised group is being malicious. Raid leaders are merely offering them a choice, if they accept, they get raised, if they don't accept, they don't get a raise to prevent future problems in the raid. It's simply just making sure a single person doesn't waste the time of 47 other people through a very preventable mistake.

Well, there's the problem, the random isn't in the group, they are objectively a solo player because they are not in a party. If a solo player can report people for not healing/raising them, then anyone can go die to an AoE in a hunt train and report every single healer there.
