Some online communities you see offensive things and hear offensive talk so much that you just kinda forget that it actually is offensive.

For example if you say to me FFS healer you’re so dumb move out of the f’ing fire... id say that’s not you being rude so much as you having had that told to you yourself and seen it so much that it’s just acceptable to you.
I think you're being incredibly hyperbolic here.

A much more apt example would be when I was helping a pair of sprouts in my FC unlock and complete the Nier raids recently. I went as a healer (both for safety and queue, they were both dps) and multiple times in a row my cohealer died to standing in the literal fire on Hobbes.

After their second death, and after I'd raised them again, I typed "fire bad" into chat.

Surprise surprise! We got a live one. They proceeded to do mostly nothing for the rest of the fight apart from say "toxic af" and /slap me (and die, of course) and then as soon as we'd rolled on loot a vote dismiss came up for me. My FC members voted no and so did enough of the party apparently because I was never kicked but like... yeah, I'm sorry, that isn't "toxic" and that guy was just oversensitive.

It's hardly his fault. It's the community that insulates these people and lets them believe even when they're literally on fire telling them to move is somehow a bad thing and also worse thing than their performance sandbagging their party.

We'll have to ignore the 4chan/WoW equivalence because there isn't time to unpack how wrong that is.
