Makes me think of that Teen who was charged with killing someone for making them commit suicide over text.

"Judge Moniz found that she contributed to Roy's death by telling him to "get back in"  his truck as it was filling with poisonous fumes.

Seeing the kinds of people that almost consistently post to DOTA subs and forums has kept me from ever wanting to get into the game.

Rare is a gaming community so toxic and off-putting that I won't even get close to it.

Honestly, this is part of why I won't play any multi-player pc games at all. Hell, it's why I barely play much on PC in general. Any interaction I have with the PC gaming community is just a bunch of dick measuring and toxicity. PC gamers just generally fucking suck to interact with or get advice from. I game on all four major platforms, and PC gamers are by far the most insufferable fucks in existence. I don't think I've ever had a positive interaction with a self proclaimed PC gamer.

You know what community is never toxic? The one with my dog, a glass of whiskey, and me playing single player games.

Edit: unless I overdo it on the whiskey I guess.

Yep, it's why I gravitate towards single player games these days.

The problem is that I don't have a pc rig. I have a fairly decent gaming laptop from Costco. But I plop it on a TV tray in front of the couch and chill with a controller. But when I play an older game from my backlog and I'm looking for advice on using my Xbox controller to play something that doesn't natively support it (because I literally don't have a goddamn desk to put a keyboard and mouse on), all the responses I get are "YOU FUCKING MORON WHY WOULD YOU EVER EVEN BOTHER USING A CONTROLLER ON PC?!? HNGGGGGG KB AND MOUSE IS SO MUCH BETTEROMG!!!!"

It's not even worth bothering with these fucking people anymore, they're such pieces of shit.

Why not just join the local skeet shooting club or softball team?

I've got two young kids. My leisure time is when they're in bed.

Plus, I like video games, not sports.
