What being a toxic player means.[VERY] [IMPORTANT] (this is a rant)

[BirdFeeder]

Ok, so the latest games, i've been running into a coupple of people, harshly missusing the word "toxic"

Here is what a toxic player REALLY is:
1. Someone complaining on teamates, over things his teamates cant do anything about, making it unnesecary flaming.
2.Someone who is constantly griefing, damaging, or missusing chat.
3.A player who can never take the blame on himself.
4. An abusive player.



Here is what people THINK toxic means:
1. Someone who writes in CAPS.
2. Someone who gets angry.
3. Someone that spamms info.
4. Someone that uses voice chat(yeah im thinking wtf too)

Writing in caps is not just a way to express anger, it makes me really mad seeing that the use for caps is way up in space because so many people play games nowadays and forgot what the hell caps is used for.
Caps is used for focusing or making a point clear. Example: DANGER! Bad example yeah i know but u get the concept. This is not a reason to call a player toxic(unless theyr using it to flame) Another example is my title.

Getting angry is natural, being toxic is making a choice u know is bad. Some people have it in their genes to have a short fuse, you cant call someone toxic for that, its like calling someone with cancer a freak for choosing to have cancer, like, wtf, its not a choice, neither is being angry. If someone is angry, it is your fault, not the angered guys fault. (ofc you can do anger management ♥♥♥♥ but comeon guys....everyone gets angry) And you probably did something wrong to make him mad, if u cant accept that, mute, but dont call him toxic.

By spamming info, i mean ofcourse shouting in voice chat or writing lots on info in caps in the chat. I can understand if you think its annoying if someone uses voice chat so u cant hear steps, but then u can just mute, dont say "stfu" or anything.
Info is important, if someone uses chat or voice chat it probably means they have important info in most cases, and you should try to listen. If its too much:mute. But they are trying to help so dont frickin call them annoying and dont tell them to stfu.

Now we come to the part im actually most angered by, what people THINK is toxic.
If i see 1 guy go mid, and get killed by an AWP, its natural, ♥♥♥♥ happens. Second guy goes mid intentionally, and dies. Makes me somewhat mad because he KNEW there was an AWP there. THIRD GUY GOES IN. And by that time i start shouting in chat "DONT GO ♥♥♥♥ING MID GO BACK HES GOT AWP". Instantly someone says "stfu toxic player". The rest of the game, they try to argue against me and try to convince me im a toxic player. In the end of the game, they tell everyone ive been flaming and crying all game and being toxic.........wait what, i argued against them on me being toxic, i simply deffended myself, how the heck am I THE ONE crying -.-

NOTE: WHAT I DID ABOVE IS NOT FLAMING, OR BEING TOXIC, ITS GETTING MY MESSAGE CLEAR BY USING CAPS, BECAUSE OTHERWISE THE 4TH GUY WOULD ALSO GO MID. And it worked more than well.


So next time you play a game, dont call anyone toxic, even if he is DONT call him toxic, it will only make him even more mad. If you think someones toxic, mute them, and keep doing your best. (if your not even trying YOU are a toxic player, honestly)

A toxic player is someone whos damaging the community, keep that in mind. Blaming someone for being toxic is damaging the community.

One last thing. DONT. BRING. UP. RANDOM. ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, YOU, CREATED.
Seriously, after arguing with theese players, someone suddnely says all out of the blue:
just because you flame us you think you are the best huh? you say u are the best but your just a toxic player.
I never said im the best, never thought it either. Dont say what other people think, you dont know ♥♥♥♥ about what theyr thinking.

Because im talking out of valves way of banning people. What i said are REALLY toxic things, are bannable. The things i said people think is toxic is not. Im simply sharing an opinion with valve and their ban system

What are you even talking about. Would perhaps make more sense if you made a reply instead

As soon as you start yelling at your team mates, you are toxic and hurt the team. You should always try to focus on the positive stuff your team does and tell them when they did well.
In the long run, this will easily boost morale and can turn around whole matches.

You, on the other hand, try to find excuses for your failed anger management in a video game. Humans make mistakes and when they do, you shouldn't load additional pressure onto them but instead try to boost their confidence again. Everything else means you are toxic.

Simple as that.
