How would an optional, official parser be toxic?

[SenorPatty]

Did you even open the two threads to read that even if they were not performed well, the two ops have been subject to rude behavior by the people judging their performance ?

Giving more tools to everyone to judge others will only end up in even more toxicity. "It will happen without a parser anyway" is a wrong argument. You are saying that like if having tons of players who actually dont even know what a parser is, getting suddenly access to one isn't gonna stir up even more trouble.

These two threads are in fact highly relevant to the answer of your question.

From where are we going to get more toxicity, the six other players who were in those parties in those threads or the same person who happened to be jerk?

If the act of kicking someone is toxic itself because that's how someone feels, then guess what? Toxicity of that nature is plenty rampant already. All you have to do is mess up mechanics enough time to get booted. Don't need a parser to help being "toxic" with that. Dps phase not being cleared? Disband, don't need parser to help being toxic with that again. I can bring countless of examples that don't need a parser to help being toxic when it comes to kicking people out.

If you want to argue that parsers will corrupt people's behaviours into being openly or subtly toxic and thus quantifying the amount of toxicity to increased numbers, guess what? People don't change easily. Jerks who like being jerks will continue to be jerks. Civil people who like to be civil will continue to be civil, parser or no parser. However, like any human behaviour, prolonged exposure to positive or negative experiences can change people's way of thinking. You could say parsers can bring out the worst in people but in the same vein, it can bring out the best.

Parsers are not one-sided tools like anti-parser people like to make them to be.
