Freedom of speech absolutism working its magic is my guess, although that's literally just a guess. Also, a significant subset of gamers seems to be quite toxic in general, so no wonder it's what it is. |
The irony is that Freedom of Speech has always had associated restrictions... See: Defamation/Libel/Slander.
However most Free-speech absolutists don't actually care about free speech, they want free speech without opposition, stifling other peoples free speech in the process.
In saying that... There are tons of gaming outlets that are just downright toxic free-for alls, thankfully I think VGChartz is a bit different there with a more mature and sensible community.
