I think the main problem with some top TF2 players is that they think they’re untouchable by the community just because they’re good at the game and have people look up to them, they don’t think about anything else but winning and it’s clear that they don’t understand the consequences of what they say, and it’s a bit appalling people actually standing up for them. This originated from someone calling out another playing rightfully so, but words can hurt as well, verbal abuse etc etc, I know this is just another comment on this whole situation but what happened to being a community? All it seems is some top players don’t even care, and it’s a shame, racial, transphobic, religious slurs shouldn’t be used so freely, people have feelings, everyone has feelings, this is a good thing for all of us, people coming out and pointing out potentially threats or verbal abusers and toxic people. I believe these types of things deserve a ban because they’re clearly going to keep using these slurs and words and in normal society it’s not acceptable, it shouldn’t be any different on a game. I’m glad that people are being pointed out and stories about horrible and a bit upsetting acts from this community. These slurs shouldn’t be used as a joke, they’re offensive and not even funny. Dark humour is a thing but that’s different to being inconsiderate to other players. TF2 competitive has become a joke and people wonder why tf2 dosent get sponsored, if we want this to become popular or become a better community we need to remove people like this who give TF2 a bad reputation. I didn’t want to comment this since I’m afraid of possible backlash but I feel some people feel similarly and as a community we can do great things and gain a better reputation but only if we call out and rid of the toxicity the way people see TF2 live. We are already a great community, but we can be better without people like these.
