Is there too much soy in this game's community

It’s not about how they follow advice. It’s about their reaction to anything non positive. You demonstrated part of the problem. You misrepresented the comment.

If you melt down over criticism, you aren’t equipped to deal with it.

Had nothing to do with not following orders

I just roll my eyes at most of the people on the forums. They're always trying to spin it

The ToS has become weaponized. Why risk an account on banter or, god forbid, telling the blm that flare exists. It's not that hard to figure out, lol.

You just have to do it in an incredibly two faced and backhanded way while maintaining the illusion of a warm and inviting community.

Gen Z started playing online games and ruined everything.

Gen Z started playing.

Person who imagines that they're tough:
"Grrr I can't stand all these thin-skinned [latest term sourced from insecure people on 4chan] who get upset as soon as you say something that they don't like!"

Some random person who just wants to chill:
"Hm, I think that I don't like your aggressive and insulting commentaries, regardless of whether you personally find them funny."

Person who imagines that they're tough:
"Reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee I don't like hearing that! It's so unfair that people are allowed to say things like that to me these days! Ahhhhhhhhhh"

...and then they invite Elon Musk on-stage, for unclear reasons.

If people were actually as tough as they think they are, they'd say something like: "Oh, I guess what I like isn't comfortable for other people. I'll just have to learn different behavior when in groups of strangers." That's some hardcore stoicism right there!

But instead, they actually bruise like overripe plums, or children being told that playtime is over, as soon as someone tells them, "Hey, actually, those verbal or behavioral habits that you've developed have been reconsidered in a new light, and aren't deemed okay any more in general company. Maybe save it for your private friends group. Or, perhaps, develop your personality beyond adolescence."

Also, the "Gosh, you used to be able to say anything!" crowd often tends to become miraculously more accepting of policing language expression when it's time to criticise positive commentary about a minority or other faction that they happen to personally dislike.

So, mostly, this seems to come from people who are actually upset that the world is giving them fewer and fewer sanctioned outlets for their questionable urge to constantly aggress everyone around them.

If you really can't understand why the way that you talk to your closed friends group is not acceptable when talking with total strangers who might come from all kinds of other perspectives, situations, and walks of life, then... I don't know man, I don't think other people is the real problem here.

And here I am not noticing a change at all in tat respect. Find better people to be around maybe? Maybe it's what is being said specifically? Idk but I'm not worried about ToS when I'm joking with folks

What I can and will say on this matter is that I would rather people use proper etiquette, and to be courteous and respectful towards each other. "Treat those how you wish to be treated." was something taught to me at a very early age. As far back as I can remember many people are aware of this form of decorum, and equally as many fail to put it to practice or lose their composure when emotional levels heighten. I'm no saint, and I'm guilty of it as well.

Woke agendas, politics, and a whole array of -isms are things I wish would never make it into the interactions that take place in the game while online. However, the internet is a place that has an abundance of all of those. The internet is a virtual version of the world at large, and there is a lot of beauty to found on it as well. However, a set of heavy armor is required if you wish to spend time on it, but compassion should lie underneath it all. Many minds that have been conditioned differently from one to the next, and that is why it is all the more important to look back on the phrase I started this post with, and to do your best to keep your emotions in check. A little bit of empathy goes a long way.
