i been playing this game since i was 13, im 20 now and im trying more than ever to have a better mental (personal life related mostly), but a good deal of maturing to where i am now as a player had been keeping myself from being influenced by toxicity (it's how some teens are, especially online) as a socially stunted high schooler going thru lockdown era at the end of the most important years of school. Sorta in same boat that netso was in.
I'm extremely persistent in playing this game despite having many awful pug and even certain team moments because one or few people that just have to be the most insufferable they can possibly convey in their attitudes. Because I love the game and competing that much more, I am p tolerant of this kind of thing now but am not surprised if the same shit I will tolerate to an extent is not something anyone else will care to keep dealing with and just leave the community. It's draining to deal with.
