How to drive toxic flamers crazy

Just say “I forgive you”
They will respond to it instinctively to show that they are the macho
You say “You are clearly wrestling with insecurities, I forgive you”

Then you say nothing more except, “Its alright your forgiven” if he comments a lot
Trust me, it will drive them insane

It works good vs solo players because groups have the cheerleading effect

So instead of muting and reporting you are antagonizing them further why ?

I forgive you.

You are clearly wrestling with insecurities, so you attempt to exacerbate the situation. I forgive you.

It’s alright, no need to say anything more! You’re forgiven.

What are you talking about? Antagonizing and escalation is the best way to handle an internet situation.

This isn’t really “antagonizing”, unless you go further than this. This is meant to stop needless conflict while also really pissing off the person starting said conflict. It actually can work if done properly. Also, try combining this with a mute + report!

Simply just that part already triggers a lot of people. Just like saying “reported”.

And with both of them you dont have to say anything afterward. (and tbh, i think both of these lines are report worthy on their own, except you dont have to tell it to them)

Sometimes I like to mess with people
But ofcourse its dependend on the amound of toxicity, sunday I played a qm as aba. First comment was: “Why do you play aba in qm, plz report him.” I replied ‘rude’, he said “shut the f up nobody likes you” < People like that are instantly reported.

But people who just say your ‘stupid or bad healer’ I can mess with

is this something you say to yourself?

Yeah just no way to keep you out

Sounds like subtle toxicity is trying to get a free pass while we throw blunt under the bus. The only difference is word choice; the intent and purpose remains the same.

Me and my friends handle toxic ppl as the following:
-Useless noob uninstall!
-‘I have a boyfriend.’/‘I am vegan.’
