My experience with this game over the last (almost) 8 years has shown that there are multiple communities with varying levels of toxicity.

The worst are this forum and the Facebook groupies. Trolling, rude comments, insults, condescending behavior abound.

Reddit isn't as bad (IMO) as the forums and the Facebook groupies. Though, I know some people will say Reddit is worse.

Then in-game. When I compare the first group to what I actually see in-game it's like night and day. I almost never experience this toxic behavior in-game.
