Pretty sure FAF has some toxicity.
Just a little follow up to this: searching for the n-word on the FAF discord server brings up 23 pages of results
Most occurrences are from select few users (yes, including ftx).
Obviously the amount of messages in each server is different, but I searched for the n-word on a few other
loosely similar discord servers for reference.
FAF: 568 occurrences
Sanctuary: 0 occurrences
Immortal: Gates of Pyre: 0 occurrences
Godot Engine: 30 occurrences (note that this is a very big server)
Pocketwatch Games: 11 occurrences
BRNK: 3 occurrences
A Year of Rain: 0 occurrences
RTS Games Lovers: 1 occurrence
Bannermen: 0 occurrences
Now it's not exactly a secret that this word is generally frowned upon and racials slurs are forbidden in virtually any public space, at least in western society. It does not matter how you feel about this word personally. Do you think it's silly that people are upset by a mere word? Do you think that people should grow a thicker skin? Do you find it cringe that people are getting mad by proxy even though the word does not relate to them directly? Again, it does not matter what you think. The community will be judged regardless of how silly you think it might be. Even the people who do not care about the n-word in the slightest take it as a massive warning sign "toxic community ahead, steer clear".
And why is it that you feel it necessary to use problematic language?
- Do you like baiting people into being offended, because you find amusement in their reactions?
- Do you feel like you are getting away with something when being edgy?
- Are you trying to make some grand statement about the pointlessness of sjw culture?
- Or did you merely pick up the habit from other people?
Let's be honest it's really fucking childish. Also moderators need to get their shit together.
And no, this is obviously not the only form of problematic communication in FAF, but this fruit is hanging so low that it's undeground in Onkalo, the world's first permanent residence of nuclear waste.
