Well for starters we don't really know if that's a minority or not, since that a lot of players don't come over the forums to discuss things, so most of these information are not 100% accurate.

Still the "issue" is that parsers for them could cause toxicity because other games did it and ruined their community, while others say the opposite and show that recounts/parsers were only a minor part of the community being ruined, but for me it's more about "fear" because people already dismiss this topic (and any possible topic really) even before discussing the possible benefits. Because there are benefits on knowing your own damage.

Yet if people are so afraid of trying out though this discussion will go endlessly. On my behalf, parser helped me to realize my dps potential and it truely changed my gamestyle right now, to the point that I went full dps because now I enjoy it.
It is true that parsers could cause toxicity, but you can bet that parser is probably the -last- of the reasons that could cause it.
