Fighting toxicity is hard. But man, finding it is child's play
Acting against toxicity is very restricted and you mostly can just put it in the hands of Riot, but if you wanna find out who's toxic before you get to know it the hard way, Literally all you have to do is say "There is no excuse in being a dick".
The Individuals responding to your one sentence are toxic and KNOW IT when:
- They straight up insult you for saying it
- call you oversensitive. Or the more known terms: "SJW" and "Snowflake"
- When they get triggered but say you're the one who's triggered. Self-projection is a psychologically proven confession.
- when they look for that nonexistent loophole in what you said in order to throw the entire thing back at you.
These people are lost cases and you should mute them and deprave them of any attention. Their desperacy to be right and fulfill their egomanic desire to have things go their way will make them prone to acting worse and worse which subjects them to being punished faster and harsher by Riot.
The Individuals responding to your one sentence are toxic but likely UNAWARE OF IT when:
- They try to argue about the situation surrounding it
- When they believe they were in self defence (Which you can't be. Self defence is specifically defined to be in Physical cases. No such things as self defence in verbal fights)
These people have still a chance, but you have to be so extremely careful with what you say and how. Smallest mistakes kick them up to become the first category of toxic people because they end up getting a "justification" from their heavily tunneled point of view.
These people have a tendency to become toxic in the future when:
- They don't know the difference between Banter and douchebaggery
- They refuse to see why their words are their responsibility.
Short and clear. This is more or less Stage 1 of toxicity as we know and detest it. Educate them and hope they don't have an ego that will have them say shit like facts dont apply to them specifically.
