real and correct Im aware of toxicity in all gaming communities and actually the browser gamers line is true as well for many times I have seen it now so I mute / block them at first rather then having a convo and play my own match atleast till Im not toxic towards them for my particular gamer ethics and No I didnt deleted "epictrolls" repliesToxicity is a common problem in all games. The number of players in itself does not cause toxicity. The number of players is not the reason. The reasons for toxicity are psychological. Everything we do online depends on our mind. We have made society like our mind and it is reflected on the internet. You talk about the number of players as a reason of toxicity, but I do not see it as a reason. I claim that there is approximately the same amount of toxicity in all gaming communities regardless of how big or small the community is. The reasons for toxicity are deep in the human mind.

I was talking on Fortnite with a kid the other day about toxicity, he had kicked another member of the party cuz he was saying disrespectful things about both of us. Fortnite is a free game like this one so it has some of the same problems Terminator was briefly talking about. The kid said that at his school a kid almost got knifed because he was a white kid and was saying the n-word. He said that he was also a bully in school but stopped because he was punished. He said basically that if you are bullying then you eventually get what is coming to you and you should never bully someone no matter what.
One of the first shooter games I ever really got into was Destiny, I played it on the Playstation 3 and loved it so much. But one of the really great things about that game was that totally random would request to join your party and they would hard carry you through a mission or two, giving you advice along the way. This only happened for me on Playstation when I tryed to play Destiny on Xbox actually no one ever joined my party. That Playstation community really made me start to enjoy shooter games and I remember those days with great joy.
Toxicity is a problem with all games, BUT Fortnite recently added a mechanic that makes it so you can report the last few minutes of your team's conversation. I think this is a great step in the right direction for trying to end toxicity.
So toxicity is not always a big problem with gaming communities but it is a clear and present danger and can even lead some people to suicide. If there is not really a clear solution to bullying but we should always try to do what we can about it and stand up to bullys and lift up others instead of trying to tear them down.
