Well when youre not allowed to vent in the game people are just itching to finally let the frustration out. I suspect the silent majority of this game stays quiet until they reach a forum like this where they cant actually be suspended for saying what they really think or feel about the game. Pussies would rather keep the game locked down than to let free speech happen due to their inability to use a mute function. The resulting consequences are what you deem as “toxic” while another person sees it as just normal behavior. People are allowed to be frustrated. People are allowed to want to critique if a player on their team is a problem or not. But not to the overly butthurt community that runs this game while in game. The end result is what youre talking about.
At no point did i mention anything about free speech. In fact I implicitly stated that I BARELY use chat and thats a problem with this game. You would rather there be no speech than any speech. I just grew up in a different era than you modern pussies. Private servers > corporately owned pussy camps. The entire internet was free speech until the under bullied majority took over and decided they cant have their feelings hurt even if people speak the truth. Dangerous freedom will always be better than peaceful slavery and theres a reason why the longevity/replayability of valve games far out do any modern dumpster fire. The only community left in this game are all pussies. Glad I woke up and realized that before spending any real time in it.
