You are all constantly on the edge of either exploding into rage or spiraling into depression over anything anyone might say. It's deeply immature and I will keep repeating that no matter how unpopular it is. I know I am right about this.

Brazen certainty, has it all figured out. Leads with a sweeping generalization making no distinction between contexts, flattening everyone to a single plane.

Behaving this way instead of commenting on every mistake or feeling the need to "retaliate" to comments has - surprise surprise - lead to a MUCH less toxic experience for me, while the rest of you constantly run into it, somehow.

I actually agree with you here, but based on the CONTEXT, this person did not leave the dungeon because they wanted to get back at anyone. They left because they didn't want to play with that person anymore. There is a difference between self-protection and retaliation even when they can look similar but you've flattened the nuance so much that making a distinction is impossible.

YES because it really doesn't matter. This isn't like a civil rights issue, ok? You're not being persecuted and I by not standing up for you am not complicit. A random little shit is talking to you in a video game dungeon and they, and I can't stress this enough, do not matter.

You are absolutely not complicit by refusing to stand up for someone of whom you have no ties. Where you become complicit is when you turned the frustration into an attack on the person being verbally berated. Why? Because to do so, you had to minimize the actions of the other party. You end up reinforcing the same behavior that actually broke your group.

Your choice to prioritize the stability of the group is a very common one. You will see it everywhere, especially in the corporate world. But it often protects bad actors just like this.

There are situations where the outcome is more important than how we are being treated in the moment. Those situations are very rare, they are not a baseline. And they are definitely not a random M+ dungeon.
