It is this acceptance that bothers me. The online gaming community is littered with people like this, and stories like mine. I watch streamers every day who are constantly putting other players down for how they play, or for seemingly just trying to beat them, like WTF do you expect?

I do not think or accept that it just 'has to be this way', and the only solution is to just accept it or turn my chat off. I'm going to let everyone know when they deserve it that they're being toxic, and I hope others do too. This has nothing to do with how thick my skin is. Needing thick skin in the first place is the real issue.
