I've never understood why toxicity is banned if there is a mute button, since if someone is being toxic all you have to do is mute them. This means people can be toxic, but you don't have to listen to them. If there wasn't a way to silence toxic people I would understand the need for a rule to be placed to stop toxicity.

if people are allowed to defend themselves, why is murder attempt illegal?

although i understand your point of view, there is 0 reason to be toxic in chat, so there is no reason not to punish them (kinda of).

A mute button is to try and salvage a game already ruined by toxicity.

Chat restrictions and bans are to prevent other games from being ruined in the first place.
