Oh, totally agreed, Thomas.

I remember the "mute chat" as my best ally in the gaming battlefield. Another big one is when they know there's a female player in the team and they blame her for everything that is going wrong, even if she actually is playing better than them.

I've also seen lots of stupid behaviours of gamers when the gaming company only tried to improve performance and etc., thanks god we're not all the same.

I am a white guy and even I have to turn off public chat because it is horribly toxic in most games. I can only hope that most gamers realize their mistakes eventually.

I actually once tried to talk common sense into a certain toxic guy who completely humiliated me during an online game for no reason, even when I remained nice and human.

As expected, all I got was more trash-talking, which was all I needed to permanently turn off public chat.
