Is there too much soy in this game's community

People have a very bad habit of perceiving malice via text when none is intended. Absent vocal and body language cues that would otherwise make intent fairly obvious, text exists in a vacuum wherein people are much more able to misinterpret things as inherently aggressive or demeaning, often times regardless of surrounding context. This predilection makes common activities such as light-heartedly teasing an acquaintance much riskier than they would be in person or voice chat. It also makes any form of meaningful online debate very difficult to carry out, as one or more parties will frequently assume bad faith far too readily.

People also have a bad habit of putting too much stock in what other people think. You are responsible for your own feelings; if someone hurts them, that's a you thing. The same is true of one's own self-confidence. That isn't something others can give or take away unless you let them.

Tl;dr: words are words, and they only have as much power as you give them.
