"Wer austeilt muss auch einstecken können." - German proverb

In the end it's all about individuals and many people can't handle criticism on the same level as they dish it out. They also tend to classify descriptions as insults to play victim. The word 'racist' is a great example of this; there's no way it can be an insult if it is used correctly. Racism has a clear definition and someone who exercises it is a racist.

niceguygameplayer is actually ahead of many other people. He gets criticized a lot (and for justifiable reasons), but he doesn't report anyone and instead seeks a conversation. He's boneheaded and in denial of his bias, but he handles criticism better than a lot of other people.

Most of the toxicity comes from users who are usually at the forefront of trolling and flaming (both overt and covert) while crying foul as soon as the tables get turned on them.

You honestly bring a good point, but the users I want to point out aren't the ones usually in the gaming sections. I'd love to call them out, but the last thing I want is another ban
