Online PvP has always been toxic, but modern game communities have definitely cultivated a special kind of toxic.
Before when someone was toxic we would just permaban them from our servers, but modern games don’t want to lose customers so people that say slurs just get a slap on the wrist.
I prefer modern toxic over 2008-era XBL lobbies though.
Maybe that’s just me. But I get a lot less annoyed by a “GG ez” than I do by an 8-year-old shouting seven consecutive minutes of racial slurs into his mic at the top of his lungs.
I get a lot less annoyed at the opposite, I sorta like hearing all that, its really funny to see, as its both super stupid, and also a telltale sign that theyre actually mad. I usually have a good laugh at/with the guys who do it.
“gg ez” only means they are either trolling, or just plain thought it was a nice easy game. no fun laughs or anything, just boring “oh I’m so good zomg” stuff. I get annoyed not due to the “they thought it was easy” but just because its such low effort that you couldn’t spend more than half a second typing a message to talk to the other team. put some more effort into communication for crying out loud. its not hard, you literally just have to talk.
Personal opinion. I absolutely hate when people type like the second half the image.
