You don’t need parsers to bring out toxicity. I’m really tired of the misconception that parsers = more toxicity all around. Jerks are going to be jerks no matter what; they don’t need a parser to be one. And, quite frankly, a lot of them probably don’t even use parsers to be jerks in the first place.

Don’t blame the tool because someone decided to use it incorrectly.

I've never played a game where parsers improved my experience playing it and I've played many where it made it worse. That is why I don't want it; because my experience tells me it will make this game worse.
This is anecdotal, though. It can’t really be used as evidence for anything. If we were going this route, I could say that parsers made my gaming experience better, therefore it should be implemented because it will make the game better.
