Ya fuck no.

WTF is wrong with you?

Self control also works.

I wish this free to play disney card game was more toxic!

FF Tactics is one of my very favorite all time games. Have never played Tactics Ogre, but I’m hour or so in and utterly delighted. Yes, I wish it was prettier, but so every I really love everything I’m seeing. ESPECIALLY the score. It’s perfect.

Yeah...how about no? You wanna be toxic? Go teabag someone in Call of Duty. Marvel Snap is one of the few competitive games I’m actually enjoying and making it easier to harass/make fun of opponents would absolutely ruin that enjoyment. I get the game is competitive by nature but that doesn’t mean we have to cater to…

Honestly part of what I like about snap is that I don’t have to deal with any of this, but if you really need to make others feel bad so you can feel better about yourself I’m sure the republican party is looking for volunteers. 

Couldn’t disagree more, Alyssa. The Hearthstone-style approach (yes, I know they weren’t the first) of limiting message content to preset options has been a breath of fresh air after dealing with spiralling toxicity for over a decade, both as a player and as an admin/community manager in the past trying to deal with…

It reminds me of the saga of Brad Shoemaker (formerly of Giant Bomb) falling in and then out of love with Clash Royale, and fuming at the smiley/crying laughing emojis you could send people after matches.

Kotaku: Toxicity in online spaces is bad

Great idea! Forcing people to take a ration of your shit is brilliant. I'll look forward to your book, "Making People Feel Bad for Funsies."

Alow me to provide you a comprehensive list of all the times allowing “good-natured ribbing” did *not* degenerate into “toxic hate speech” in an internet game between anonymous opponents:

This is dumb and bad. Seems hypocritical for this blog in particular.

Which is what is currently available - emotes and preset text for some good natured ribbing, such as the thumbs up from another when you’ve just done something dumb can be quite effective in that regard (and then have them do it again when you turn what seemed dumb into a genuinely good play, like baiting them into…

I always like to analyze this stuff as if I was across the table from the player (I have played magic for over 10 years) and honestly if I did anything like that IRL I would likely be told off by others at the store for being a bad sport so I have to agree with RenegadeReaper especially considering this is like the…

How about we not try to promote the ability to be toxic?

Here are some non-“weird” justifications:
