What is up with this toxic community

[TouchandFeel]

TouchAndFeel is all over here like "lets get along, teamwork, good community, compromise/middle ground, I think they meant well, let's all have fun!"

NO! THIS THREAD IS ABOUT A TOXIC COMMUNITY, (┛✧Д✧))┛彡┻━┻ - I'M NOT GOING TO HAVE YOUR GOOD FEELINGS RUIN IT. ♥ lol

How about I flip a little table, like maybe a kotatsu or cafe table. Is that a fair compromise?

Yes I accept, but first let me light an eastern tree on fire while I play dead in the background so we get the right emotions in the room going. If I could make a side request that you do it in a subligar that'd be great~!

I've always felt if the community needs something to bond over we could just talk about how thankful we're not LoL .. XD. So far I've never been greeted in game by telling me that they're going to murder my family and chop me into little pieces, so hey I feel like FFXIV isn't that bad haha.. That game man, so scary lol (I've heard it's better but haven't played in ages so I'm not sure, and don't believe it :P).

I have noticed an influx of toxic individuals lately... Usually my FC is a pretty laid back, friendly group but in the past month or so we've had:

1. Weird new player who got angry whenever the chat wasn't about her, her high risk pregnancy, or her abusive ex (and provided way to many details for a bunch of internet strangers she just met - and details suspiciously variable). Would literally break into any discussion on game play with: "blah, blah,blah you are boring". Finally quit in a hissy fit because some guy wouldn't talk to her before we could kick her.

2. Guy who got mad when no one agreed that the next FC activity should be a 'stripper' party (how even?) and loudly declared how difficult it was to be a guy and that all the girls (well female character anyhow - he didn't seem to get the idea that they might not be irl girls) were afraid of him (because they didn't jump on his constant invitations to his apartment for hot tub parties - never mind that they were actually doing content). Quit after one of the guys intentionally publicly came on to him and wouldn't take no for an answer (which is exactly what he had been doing to all female characters - the irony wooshed over his head).

3. Drunk guy who had a hissy fit, cursing and threatening everyone because no one would kick his very polite teenage son from the FC as a punishment for some irl issue (even though no one currently online even had the ability to do so if they wanted to). He's a bit of a tough one because he's fine when not drunk (which is most of the time) but a really obnoxious drunk - was gone for a few days and has been quiet since.

And these are just a few more prominent examples - normally things are very low key and friendly but in the past couple months we seem to attract the drama queens.

I blame the current slow down in content - not distracting enough for people like this that they have to create drama.
