Instead of Asking Specific Questions About Whether or Not Something Is Toxic....

(I realize that most of you are just disingenuous fibbers engaged in word games to try legitimize your trolling, but for those people who are legitimately being swindled into this, AND actually have a conscious, please stop and consider what it is that you are doing and how it affect others which you may or may not never meet in person.)

Stop using the Summoners Code, Riot Employee comments, and various other rationalizations, rules, or lack thereof for your actions and consider if what you are doing is wrong or right.

Here is something I found which might get you started:

Ethics and Action Ethics is about putting principles into action. Consistency between what we say we value and what our actions say we value is a matter of integrity. It is also about self-restraint:

  • Not doing what you have the power to do. An act isn’t proper simply because it is permissible or you can get away with it.
  • Not doing what you have the right to do. There is a big difference between what you have the right to do and what is right to do.
  • Not doing what you want to do. In the well-worn turn of phrase, an ethical person often chooses to do more than the law requires and less than the law allows.

Yeah bro! Totally practicing ethics in a video game that I play as a hobby. Its almost as if people want the world to be bubble wrapped from all of the negativity induced by the unpleasantness of ignorance. No, people will continue to insult those who do not meet their expectations- why? Because in the professional world- where ethics are truly practiced if you are ignorant you will be exposed and re-mediated. Probably in ways people in this game would find toxic and insulting. Putting your flabby altruism at all costs ethics on a forum notorious for having thin skinned emotionally fragile people to get likes is quite sad, and honestly speaks volumes to your attention whoring persona.

What do you lose by practicing ethics?

Some just don't want to be walking on the egg shells of other's feelings. The ability to relax and really be yourself (some people are assholes) is part of the allure to anonymous online video games. What do you have to lose? The freedom of saying whatever you want without consequence. Which in of itself is a release from the daily struggle from modern political correctness. Unless statements qualify as libel (which I highly doubt is the case in league of legends) the freedom to say what you want should be part of the novelty of league of legends, but unfortunately league of legends panders to the emotionally weak and simple minded for monetary gain.

Emotionally weak. I think you may have a misunderstanding here. Many people have a similar misconception. That somehow you are offending and deeply wounding people. And that somehow because of this you are reported. It's not even a matter of being politically correct. There is consequence. The peace and serenity of others.

It is not that you somehow strike a deep wound in me when you insult me for making a mistake. It's that you are simply an annoying yappy dog. And I don't really like playing with annoying yappy dogs. It takes an already sometimes tense game and adds shrill ice-pick-in-ear barking to the mix.

I find it amusing that you use emotionally weak and simple-minded.

Yet you say part of the fun for you is insulting other people. You want League to cater to your desire for a lack of self-control. You want to be able to vent your weak frustrations for a lack of control of the situation on other people in a crude manner.
