Is the amount of toxic endgame players growing in FFXIV?

[MilitaryVet123]

Recently I have noticed increasing amount of toxicity in the game. People are being openly transphobic and homophobic in ways that I have never seen when I first started out in this game. Once I started applying to statics though, things changed. People were more toxic in Discord chat but at least they weren't homophobic and transphobic. But now I think there is an increasing wave of bigotry and toxicity among endgame players. A lot of them won't hesitate to make grossly bigoted jokes that hurt the feelings of minority groups - something I have never seen before. Jokes such as: "I identify as an apache attack helicopter please respect my gender" or "sorry, I shouldn't have said he, i meant XE hahaha".

Is this just my experience or is this consistent with what people have been witnessing?

While we're having meta commentary I just want to say that anyone still making the Apache helicopter joke in current year really needs to get with it, that was funny like 8 years ago but it's like basically an antique now.

I don't think it's Titanmen. Titanmen's post were satirical, but in a funny way. This dude seems to want to do active harm and is half serious. Titanmen also rarely responded in his own threads, but this guy is extremely active in them. If this is actually Titanmen, then that's just sad.

Its 100% TitanMen. Their fcs have the same names, and all his characters in those fcs have similar name schemes.

Apparently exposing homophobia and transphobia is doing "active harm". This community is going downhill.

Many FCs have the same name. And some FCs also have the same name as the Malboro mentor abuse network... so...
