Is there too much soy in this game's community

I mean, most of the policing I see from people aren't even racist, sexist or homophobic, it's just banter or light hearted commentary.

Comment "Oh ninja, when will you learn that orange candies aren't your friends? :P" after they die the 3rd time and they get super aggressive.

Mention "Hey tank, mind using some cooldowns on wall to walls a bit more? " and all of a sudden you get backlashed at for "telling them how to play".

It's like people can't take *ANY* criticism nowadays when you could comment on this and people would shrug it off, laugh it off or play silly back with you, but like I said. The online community has definetly changed over the past decade.

Oh that, that isn't even in the same ballpark.
In fact, I'd argue that is a symptom of a lot of aggressive banter.
People have been conditioned to think that every piece of criticism is meant in an accusatory manner.
Absolutely nothing to do with 'soy' 'woke' or 'snowflake's. It's the opposite, it's the inevitable result of 'testosterone fuelled' aggression.

Plus its not something particularly new either. The amount of rage quits I saw back in say, my WoW days over any criticism of mistakes vastly dwarfs the amount of stuff I have seen in FFXIV. Heck even back in my FFXI days, arguments against party members would break out over what is right/wrong, leading at times to people pulling a bunch of overlevered monsters to wipe the party before anyone could flee to a zone over petty things…

me neither personally, but it may help wash down the fig bars they are eating in another thread I am sure the OP is responsible for

I mean, this hasn't really been my experience. I was OTing a PuG for Mount Ordeals EX, when the RDM in my split party killed us both because he doing his burst when a mech hit, and we both got nailed by each other's AoEs. I said "Once again Red Mage forgets its not a melee job" and the biggest laugh was from the RDM himself.

Ultimately, an insulting or offensive joke is well received if its more funny than it is insulting or offensive. It has to be a joke first and a dig second.

Wow, you sure are rapid firing these threads. Aiming for the cap as usual or is there a different goal here?

[Zanarkand-Ronso]

Back in Heavensward and Stormblood you can insult people and mock them and they'll just insult and mock you back. Banter, friendly or unfriendly, was the norm. What happened to this game's community man!? Now you make a mild joke and they collapse and freak out and start crying. People don't even fight back anymore! What happened to FF14? Where is all the testosterone?

Sir, Call of Duty and Halo are over there.
You made a Wrong Turn at Albuquerque.

Troll post or not

Is this really an open question?
