Why are there so many so aggressive turkish players in this game?

[Synida Pry]

It's known in this game that you can get upset ect, and it happens with anyone, but for some reason some turks are especially aggressive in this game. And don't get me wrong, I have many turkish friends I play with, my wife is turkish, and none of them has this issue. But I can't help it, I join to a game and if I play too good, they try to switch and kick me or start shooting me. Or if its a private server - which I don't know about - and they ask me to switch, I switch, then later on, when they are loosing(but only by 100 points or so) they just kick me from the game via the console. Or even my team members, if the opposite team is loosing and there are turks in my team, they ask them to kick me, because they think that I'm hacking. Ofc I'm playing better, because I have 3.4kh in this game, what do they expect? It's a game that is easy to learn, but hard to master. You can't expect yourself to play like a 5kh hours player just after 100h.
And there is this hive mind, that if they start insulting you out of the blue suddenly all of them wants to join in to the toxicity. What the hell is going on?

It's a survival/predatory thing. Many people aren't leaders. They'll follow other people's lead to blend in and hope they aren't next; Many will even enjoy watching a random player/person thrown under the metaphorical bus.

The worst part is that this is a more unconscious/instinctive decision. If you challenge people to think critically on their behavior, there's a 10:1 chance of them drawing a blank.

Your solution is to find people you know you can have a good time with and allocate some time to play with them.

Life is full of problems, no need to allow room for more stressors.

Most Americans I've played with are like this tbh, it's just toxic cultures

The stereotype goes that Tukish players are hackers/cheaters, not agressive. Although I guess both can overlap...

Lucky, I haven't encounter such toxic player, so far I have saw so far: Griefer who shoots you for absolute no reason, so-called speedrunner who blindly run ahead by left everyone behide, and ragequitting while caught by SI, but it ain't so bad. btw I am Asian.

First of all, I find the discussion you opened right. I'm a Turk. The number of Turks playing l4d2 is quite high. Because most of them are young, they cannot think. Of course I am having this problem many times

The only "negative" Turks I meet in Versus, Realism Versus and Survival Versus are only complete noobs, they usually have no idea what's going on (for example they do nothing about the fact their screen is shaking like crazy, which means there's a tank inbound), they help teammates slower than bots do, they sometimes rush, they often have 2-10 hours on L4D2 or completely private profiles and they usually don't speak English, just Turkish, including swear words. I did, however, meet a "positive" Turk in my game once or twice, but the odds of finding one aren't good.

You also need to realize Turks aren't the only people toxic in this game. Russians, Poles, Germans, etc also tend to be rude. Most of them are also noobs. I actually consider myself toxic in some cases, though I'm only toxic if somebody in my team did something wrong on purpose, like rushing.

I believe Turks just want to be on the same side, so they support each other and they start insulting you along with the other Turks. There's no solution to that.

Still, if you don't like somebody, you can always block them and you'll never meet them again, unless in community servers.
