There are two kind of communists from what I've seen. The useful idiots and true believers who unironically believe things like "real communism has never been tried before" an think that they're one more attempt away from a utopia.
The other kind you mentioned are the tankies. They see the old "boot and face" analogy and fantasize that they'll be the boot. They're usually the first against the wall if they get their way.
Kotaku-inclined gamers still wouldn't be satisfied if saying a racial slur immediately transferred your whole bank account to them and made a drone blow up your house.
Exactly, this is where this is all going, it's just them trying to implement their own social credit system against gamers who they view as satan incarnate and are still butthurt over GamerGate because the nerds stood up to them.
Sometimes its just girl squabbles. Had one new girl call another girl a bitch in a non serious way. The other girl demanded i kick her. I told her.. wait 24 hrs to cool off and let me talk with the new girl. I kicked out the new girl at 20 hrs. But the other girl said i was too slow and left anyways. Lol.
Girls seem to also try to take people with them when they get kicked or leave. They try to get the simps and white knights.
Seems this kinda bullshit happens in every group or organization.. women in work places or government or military.
As a DOTA player, the handful of times I've seen/heard a girl speak in a match they have instantly gotten some measure of flame, or their gender is totally ignored because we are here to play. This is a fairly toxic game so honestly even if myself or my friends speak we have been flamed before so I kind of take this whole thing with a grain of salt myself.
One thing I do know though, is that every single game listed has a mute people option. You can keep playing and mute people, you can even keep speaking if you want to convey game/match/fight-relevant information to the shitty people on your team, if you really want to win.
Stupid woman doesn't realize their experience is not woman specific. Go in random voice chat and not be clearly the one carrying the team, and guess what, random people are going to be assholes. I haven't been in a good random voice chat in what is now decades.
Solution: get some real friends to play with instead of making whiny articles about your vagina's hurt feefees. I'm going to guess that's a problem for this person because it's just too little fun to put up with her being an insufferable cunt.
I feel like as well I'm really getting the impression many of the people who complain about this are also social retards who can't tell the difference between trash talking and genuinely being an unpleasant cunt. Now obviously, if you're dumb enough to enable VOIP in a game like Call of Duty that's on you because the demographic there is heavily skewed and games like Rust/League of Legends are notorious.
However in Battlebit Remastered honestly I've found it hilarious because it's clear most of the guys who are swearing at each other after they die are usually doing it for the lulz and sometimes it's really funny. One guy I shot dead went "Fuck you Lethn" and I just went "No Fuck YOU" and we just did this back and forth for about a minute and I fucking missed that in gaming. The devs so far haven't been pussies about this as well and know what multiplayer gaming is like so they encourage it lol which is based.
The girls who get this and know how to trash talk back and not take it seriously are the ones who get welcomed into the gaming circles. You're probably right in that no one wants to fucking hang out with her because she's so insufferable. My own problem has always been trying to find gamers who will want to play the same games because I like my niches so there's that factor too. You can have 'gamer friends' but if everybody has different tastes it can be pretty impossible to all get in on the same game.
A lot of women don't understand that this is the gamer equivalent of a hazing ritual and a shit test and they fail it the majority of the time and wonder why male gamers don't want to hang out with them despite them putting on the 'gamer girl' routine and getting all the kit.
who can't tell the difference between trash talking
Women don't know what trash talking is.
There are only two instances in women's life where they shit talk someone. Mean Girls style to tear them down with actual malice and obsession, and sexually to get their masochism rocks off. They cannot understand men's ability to either shit talk with affection, or shit talk random idiots with little care behind it.
So when a guy is attacking them online, he must actually hate her and want her destroyed. Because she is associating it to what she understands, which is that high school mean girl bullshit she knows.
The one's who "get it" did so after years of learning, and probably a lot of being bullied gently by their boyfriends until they had to get over it.
I remember hearing that insults are "tailored, not targeted". No one wakes up going "man, I can't wait to call a black guy a 'nigger'..." (I mean, I do, but I digress). Most cases, it's someone having a 24K run of bad luck and digging for the one thing that makes you stand out and picking at it like a scab to get a reaction.
This is easy to understand once you realize that every single person left of center is a Bolshevik.
They all dream of becoming a commissar. They desperately want their hands around your throat.

Third kind you missed - the sociopaths at the top. First two are both varieties of useful idiots to the power at any cost types that use them.

TL:DR- women complaining because they get harassed by male feminists in voice chat, blames “straight, white men” for “toxic gaming culture”.
Women shouldn't be in male spaces. Problem solved.
I second this.. 95% of girls dont belong in gaming. Mostly cause drama, distractions and woke shit.
Every guild I ever joined broke up because of a girl. Usually one who had only just joined, only to break apart a decade long group.
The one exception where a girl wasn't involved, it was a peaceful affair of people retiring and not wishing to go on without each other.

My friend ran off with a woman he met playing WoW. I attended their wedding, and they have 2 kids now.
Oh yeah but we didn't like see him for a year. I don't play WoW (formerly played Lotro), but maybe she broke up the guild.
Is this the same trash talk you hear when guys play Madden or FIFA? I feel like the ladies crying about this have extremely thin skin
I haven't heard another player in FIFA in years. Simply no reason to be using MIc unless you're in a 2 v 2 or Teams game.

Gotcha. I have felt for a while now that the complaining was way overblown
Stupid woman doesn't realize their experience is not woman specific. Go in random voice chat and not be clearly the one carrying the team, and guess what, random people are going to be assholes. I haven't been in a good random voice chat in what is now decades.

The one's who "get it" did so after years of learning, and probably a lot of being bullied gently by their boyfriends until they had to get over it.
The people who object to hazing rituals are the ones who get filtered by them.

Or just grow some balls and stop being a pussy.
Women are used to men being nice because they want to put their penis inside them.
It's called a fucking mute button, dipshit.
All the "toxicity" people complain about can be solely blamed on the desire for game companies to sell $20. Instead of allow people to host their own servers where they can find like minded people, you're dumped into a fucking amusement park ride queue and expected to get along. They do this, of course, because you can't sell people overpriced JPEGs if people can host their own server. It's also to entice players to drop money on getting that "super cool, epic skin" they keep seeing.
Fuck off Kotaku.
I don't think there's enough toxic voice chat or talking at all
Don't most games have voice chat be an optional feature? I'd say that's doing 100% enough to stop toxic voice chat, you can just fucking turn it off.
If you don't like it, go make me a sandwich instead.
Maybe we just want Toxic chat?
Whatever happened to the mute button?
Or just logging off if you don't like what people are saying about you. As far as I know, nobody's forcing them to play online.
