Why are so many people toxic?

i find it amusing that emotes to not register as human interaction to you

I’m playing a secret rog on standard ladder atm… Running a 50 for 21 (70%) win rate in the last 2 days.

I cut an Ambush and a Bamboozle and run 2x Shenanigans instead.

People hardly ever emote me as they are too busy looking at their bananas and wondering why that power card they expected to draw is not available anymore.

They only ever “wow” me now… Good times!

Mostly everyone is toxic now with the covid-19.

Because he feels manipulated game… :kissing_heart:

Indeed. Because of covid, schools are closed and teenagers aren’t getting bullied. I hope things will go back to normal soon.

What FireGhoul said. Nothing is more frustrating than having a great strategy only to lose against some garbage RNG. RNG in moderation is not bad, but having it swing games makes the experience feels unfair (imagine if Chess was based on RNG). As a result people lash out. Also, the Blizzard devs don’t help by intentionally creating unfun experiences in the game. Like printing cards that completely sucks the fun out of it. Tickatus would be an example.

mostly because the game’s mechanics are toxic for veteran players. if you are a longterm player looking for a skill based experience the game’s engine screws you constantly. i think it is no secret that it swings games towards extravagant and ridiculous outcomes and swing turns to make casual players feel good. so naturally people who play regularly and expect to get better because they learned a lot about the game are going to be mad. they like the game, but the game does not like them.

I wouldnt even call it “toxic” but for sure the mass on players are acting rly conceited and mostly on so basic tactics. The reason is that so many players are greenhorns aka teens. When i remember back beeing 13 i would do that maybe too. As Adult it makes me angry ofc :smiley:

Your definition in this case of “toxic” is laughable

Unfortunately for you, the world is shifting towards events you can bring your google knowledge to, but not your fists.

This is not toxic behavior

This post claiming that it is, is the toxic behavior

What I’ve come to realize is that it’s impossible to call something toxic without being the tiniest bit toxic oneself. To label something in that way inexorably introduces an opposing temptation towards evil.

“The surest way to work up a crusade… is to promise people they will have a chance of maltreating someone. To be able to destroy with good conscience, to be able to behave badly and call your bad behavior ‘righteous indignation’ — this is the height of psychological luxury, the most delicious of moral treats.”
— Aldous Huxley, Crome Yellow

So of course, all the most toxic people are going to label the people that they want to attack toxic. Every dopamine receptor they have is going to lie to the rest of the brain to warp reality to make the toxicity of the other seem real, and render the toxicity of the self invisible. I’m not saying that there aren’t people who are actually toxic in this world; I’m just saying that, when we allow ourselves to see them in that light, we let a little sliver of their (perceived) toxicity into our own souls. The bad in us wants the same thing.

Quite true. For example, in the real world where actions have consequences, you probably don’t go around saying THIS stuff to everyone, in person, that you have a trivial disagreement with:

Symptom of society unfortunately. I don’t squelch, but someone can tell me they’re a loser by behaving like this, in an instant. All I can think of is poor bastard, what a loser. Don’t do this kids, being a clown will work it’s way into other areas of your life and one day, you will run into someone who might snap.

Actually I do…Just because you imagine dragons that doesn’t make them true… So stop weird flexing your tattoos around you ain’t impressing anyone.

Also what type of repercussions do you imagine here… Are you getting instant tackled if you open your mouth in public ? Would probably explain your head traumas. You probably had to get a siren tattoo with your mothers name under just to be more imposing because everyone was stealing your peanut butter and jelly all the time, and now you think that if someone says something in the real world get’s the same treatment as you.

You know, I genuinely thank you for necroposting here and responding to me, specifically. No sarcasm, no smoke. I mean this genuinely. Sincerely.

See, I had you on block before, but every once in a while I take people off the list if I can’t remember why I put them on there in the first place. The last time I had interacted with you prior to the last topic where you expressed blatant homophobia, was literally 26 days ago as seen in this topic. I had put you on ignore for this topic just because you were being rude. But you weren’t important enough to remember, and after a week or so I took it off. “Vendetta? Who’s that guy again? ehh, probably just some dude who mouthed off once or twice. I’ll give him another shot.”

Just call me John Oliver though, because “and now, THIS:”

In one single post, you’ve addressed school bullying, parental issues/childhood neglect, handicaps both mental and physical, and you’ve done it all as a very obvious intent to belittle and harass me, and for what? Because I disagree with you on a video game forum? And in that other topic, I reiterate again you called me gay and closeted. As if that would be an insult in any era, but especially so in 2024. Are you THAT maldy that they get an entire month, while all you get are occasional country songs?

And I’m the one you claim is the weird one through all of this. That’s the ironic part. I kind of wish I were gay, just to make you that much more uncomfortable.

I thank you, genuinely, for giving me a stern reminder that you fully deserved the spot on the list. I wish you good fortune and good health.
