After winning a chicken dinner last night I received a message from person who said “You’re the reason PUBG is dying”. I assumed it was the guy I shot in the back (3rd place) or the 2nd place guy who died to the blue. I messaged back stating that he should not have stayed in the blue. He then said that I was an (word not accepted here) since he wasn’t even playing and that I should kill myself. I then looked up his messaging account. No games and no profile so likely alt account. Anyway, that account was reported to Xbox for hate speech.
By the way, this match was a good one for me. I’m nearly 64 and don’t win a lot. I killed a guy with a Molotov after he flew over me in a uaz on the beach. I also was in an extended, long range drm battle with a guy who had a BRDM (which I shot between volleys and blew up). I eventually eliminated him from the game too. Why so much toxicity?

The answer to your question is complex and simple at the same time. The internet has afforded people the ability to say things without any repercussions. This isn’t really anything new. Proximity chat in Halo back in the late 90’s early 00’s was some of the most toxic shit that I’ve ever been around.
I’ve noticed that even some of my comments (criticism of play or disagreeing on who’s cheating, etc.) on this sub are taken a little too strongly. It’s important to take a step back every once in awhile and realize how you come across.
What bothers me is the younger generation that takes these messages to heart. Most people aren’t happy with themselves, so they project that shit on everyone else. Just ignore it, and move on.
Kids can’t stand losing. Younger generation has been given to many participation trophies etc. Don’t let their crying get to you.
At least he waited till after dinner.
