Toxicity in games

[JDCP]

Unless you just mean general toxicity and not referring to other players in which case if Assassins Creed as a franchise was a person I would do awful things that get me locked up in alcatraz

hey hey take it easy, the greatness of the early Assassin's Creed titles shouldn't be tarnished by their modern installments. That said you're right about the FF thing but only for a very minor group of fans... most people who love FF as much as me are pretty damn chill, at least the ones I've met

Or just hide in a bubble

hehe like this? no hiding is not the correct way to say it, getting over it sounds nicer.

Assholes suck but they're always going to exist and honestly I don't want to live in a world where other people get to decide what thoughts and feelings you're "allowed" to express because they deem it offensive "to them"

My thoughts exactly, just let people be.

I prefer couch multiplayer for this reason, it's silly thrash talk.

I'm not one for enjoying being verbally abused by someone over a headset

Couch multiplayer is indeed the GOAT

I actually enjoyed the toxicity of games and think it added to the experience, ever since we lost that online gaming has become kinda stale imo.

I was trying to figure out how to express my opinion on this, but it turns out Questless Knight did it for me.

I think people, in general, need thicker skin these days. If you can't deal with someone being an asshole without falling to pieces, you need to figure that shit out. Or just hide in a bubble. Assholes suck but they're always going to exist and honestly I don't want to live in a world where other people get to decide what thoughts and feelings you're "allowed" to express because they deem it offensive "to them"

Absolutely, people are getting into serious trouble for hurting peoples feelings, these days. It's outlandish, absurd & tyrannical.

I can understand that moderators are needed, especially for young children's games like roblox and that a criminal element needs to be stopped from potentially abusing these children but moderators in older gaming just need common sense and a good eye. No need for banning trolls expressing themselves in their own way.

Half the time that I get r*p* threats in the rare event I play an online game it's by female players and/or players under the age of 12. None of these are serious threats, they're made by people with limited knee-jerk imagination. You want to hurt my fee-fees? Good luck, I respond to all such comments with laughter.

It really has gone to pot if under 12's are sending rape threats. They are probably repeating something they saw online. Not sure, the internet has benefitted us at all, tbh. Mental health was a lot better without it.

Speaking of mental health, had a quick browse at the mental health thread, and plenty sharks are pushing toxic treatments over there. One wizard said something like "lobotomy doesn't take place anymore, it's barbaric". It takes place alright. It takes place sneakily through prescribed medication.

It's not that I enjoy toxicity per se, but I'd choose WoW's chats over FF14 any day. I mean, I like that FF14's community is quite nice overall, but sometimes I feel like they want to be *too* nice, and I like the occasional banter, drama and trolling (to an extent)
