People have been calling this behavior out for years but the sad truth is that unless you are among the invite circle and have earned the respect to be listened to no one will listen or care to change it. At the end of the day your value as a player and your accomplishments in the game trumps the decency and respect you deserve as a member of the community.
Coming out of the lurking woodworks to say during my active years I played a fair amount of pugs, including plenty on medic, and was always especially encouraging to people who seemed out of their depth or just having a bad game. But it was also exhausting fighting back against what was a generally negative sentiment from a lot of fellow players. There's levels to respect, and there's a lot of toxicity amongst even respected players when someone's simply not doing well or makes one "major" error. It often leads to a race to the bottom where people are preemptively toxic or try to get on the good side of whatever player(s) they know are going to be critical, better to laugh at others and be ignored vs. getting criticized yourself.
The solution is really just better self-policing and fostering an uplifting attitude from the top down, but if that was realistic it likely would've happened by now. Instead being selective about who you won't play with, and perhaps being vocal about it in a constructive way, is about the best most can do. There's a reason I played on teams with the people I did, they were overarchingly good and kind individuals. The same principle applies to a lesser extent with pugs. But that's also what lead me to stop adding
Anyways, much love and back to checking TFTV every other month
