"Everyone's so open and friendly" is a lie

[Juzjuzz]

everyone that thinks this community is nothing but nice should read that place, just to see how many of those 'nice' players are super toxic

Yup it's either the players showed that are toxic or the redditors being assholes as well.
There's just no way of completly avoiding toxicity, it's possible to find ways tout get a better situation but it will never be good all the time.

Still thinking about what happened to scottzone

Same, he made a lot of good points but it's always the same : if you don't aggree with the general ideas in a community everything you say gets demonized.
