    That toxicity you speak of is pretty evident in humans in general, you don’t have to just leave it at the feet of gamers.

      Did you hear the same behavior about soccers or tennis fan ? Do they threaten the children of referees by example.

      Never heard such behavior. There is a part of the gamer community which is strongly toxic and seems to have no limits.

        Uh… they sometimes kill players when they mess up in crucial games (soccer - colombia national team), and stab other players who threaten their favourite (tennis - Monica seles fan).

        Edit: it was a Steffi graf fan who stabbed Monica seles.

      But we are specifically talking about toxic gamers in this case
