I get it’s a meme, but it should be “Toxic gamers”.
A competitive game, in a competitive mode usually attracts competitive people. These people want to win, are playing to win, etc. This is the enviroment made for that. People complaing in non competitive modes are just toxic people.
But it’s also toxic to enter a competitive mode as a casual, cause a loss for your teammates, then blame it on " I just play to have fun XD".
I want to argue a nuance that toxic overcompetativeness is a meta issue in gaming, not a direct issue with competitive games. Like it’s just as toxic to be like overly competitive with casual shit, though you’re more likely to be called out as the insane person you are if you’re being toxic over say something like animal crossing than if you’re playing league.
I do agree with what you’re saying though, it probably should just say toxic gamers to cover all of that because this is the internet and nuance has no transmission ability here.

Bad sportsmanship = toxic
Competition != toxic
