are you a toxic gamer?

[nellanella]

are you hardcore? do you play to win? do you admonish your teammates for not pulling their weight after a loss and make them cry. do you insult others because they suck at the game they're playing

or the thought of being brash to others never crosses your mind

or maybe you meet in the middle depending on what side of the bed you woke up on that day

Nah, I'm too busy winning to care.

All gamers are toxic.

Haven't you read the news?

[druuu]

Always have been.

How dare you to be so toxic replying a toxic comment?

[MistyMountainHop]

Real "toxic gamers" are the ones who dox you because you beat them at Peggle.

Talking smack into a headset isn't toxic.

No, I'm a friendly gamer. I don't really have a competitive nature but play for fun (casual gamer).

"Toxic" isn't a thing, it's just another term leftists made up to give credence to their subjective opinions.

I can be a twerp when my keyboard and mouse aren't responsive or are acting up. I'm hoping that when I'll get enough spare money to buy my next gaming rig the peripherals will no longer be a pain in the butt.

Aside from that, nah I don't think I'm toxic. Maybe annoying because I am a bit of a pedant, but I try not to bring that up unprompted.

This thread has absolutely nothing to do with politics... well, not on your watch apparently.
What's your deal?

That's exactly why I said it. Not everyone will realize that terms like "toxic" imply a certain (more or less political) standpoint.

I don't think the political use of the word is relevant to the political one. Afaik being toxic in a game just being a douche over a videogame lol

The problem is that it asserts that certain things ARE "toxic", and assumes you to know which things those are. While in reality, it is much more subjective and dependent on the situation. I call that a leftist stance because they like to make absolutes out of things, instead of acknowledging that there are multiple ways to look at anything.

A lot give into it and suffer

[Candyy]

Do you actually expect anybody to admit it? 🤨

[Daenoxiis]

Winning is fun but I don't mind taking an L.
I'm 35 years old, bro...
If I'm playing a multiplayer FPS at my age that in its own is sort of taking an L.

I like gaming situations that challenge me to think rather than challenge my reactionary time.
I'm well aware that's a rarity of a preference, which is why I don't play many modern games.
