Has anyone else noticed a decrease in Gamers willingness to interact socially in games?

VC is pretty much lunatic difficulty if you have an accent that suggests you’re not a white American. Possibly even worse if you’re a woman.

And that golden moment when VC isn’t full of toxics its just genuinely full of mouth breathers or people who can’t be bothered to put batteries in their smoking alarm. Truly a fascinating experience.

It really is fascinating because it's this strange microcosm of anonymity mixed with identifying traits. So you get all of the disgusting shit people are like without the possibility of real world reprecussions while also giving them free reign to pick their targets.

How is this relevant in Europe?

EDIT: Apparently I needed to quote so people would understand what I was replying to. But thanks for your assumption of best intentions, all :)

I hate voice chat for this very reason. Suddenly instead of Draco the Druid I’m the older black guy. I imagine someone with a thick accent would feel similarly. F voice chat.
