I know people can be absurdly toxic in general, but does it seem like games are an unusually concentrated place for that? If that is the case, why is that?
Yeah I really don't understand this why specifically the gaming communities seem to suffer from this problem more than others.
Perhaps it's not reported on as much in other hobby circles, or it's a confirmation bias on my part.
Regardless, it's really disappointing that these communities have this 'there I go death-threating again' stigma growing against them. Absolutely disgusting.
