Even VideoGameDunkey's made the "being toxic in a video game is part of the game" argument which is crap.

As always I blame matchmaking replacing small servers each with their own admins and mods. Back in the day (before Halo 2 really) if you were in a toxic server you could jump ship to one that wasn't, nowadays the toxic server is the only server you can play multiplayer on.

This is why Hexbear is so cozy for me, it's like a forum equivalent of a regional 24/7 Two Fort server

Meet Your Match sapped most of the enjoyment out of TF2 for me because it created a barrier between me and those cosy servers where people were just fucking around.
