The most toxic communities I know of are the Genshin community, Payday 2, FFXIV and source games communities in general.

    Rainbow Six Siege is up there — there’s six dimensions of assholery in the game by my count.

    • Tom Clancy games tend to attract right-wing assholes because they’re Tom Clancy
    • competitive FPS
    • one-shot one-kill gameplay
    • friendly fire on by default
    • character picks
    • you need to play to a specific meta

      Not sure if this still happens, but for groups of 4 that used to want to play together, there was no way to lock the team or kick from lobby. So what would happen is you’d get match-maked in as the 5th player, and as soon as the game started, your team would kill you. This would happen about 25% of the time with random matchmaking.

      I ended up quitting R6 Siege because of the toxicity and constant slurs on voice chat. It’s a shame because it was otherwise my favourite competitive FPS.

        It’s common enough that I remember it too. Now you get kicked for teamkilling more than once, but groups can just alternate teamkills to avoid this.
