Because a lot of people in online spaces are absolute assholes, racists, sexists, lgbtg-phobic, and probably hates every other minority as well, or even if they aren't really that they act it to gain acceptance from their peers, it's a big problem but nobody wants to do anything about it because it'd likely involve seriously looking at your own behaviour or that of your friend groups as potentially problematic.

Edit: I see some folk down vote this and similar replies that calls this a problem, it fucking is a problem, if a community is actively hostile towards you being there then that doesn't bode well for you staying very long, doesn't matter if its intended as a joke or some bs it's still just straight up harassment in the end, if you want to see the extreme of it just look at fucking gamer gate (which is still going on to some extent under different names) that was born from that mentality.

Grow the fuck up crybabies

I honestly don't care if I seem condescending to assholes or dicks who defend them.

You don’t seem condescending to the asshole community, you seem condescending to anyone who uses the internet.

The gamer community is really getting out of hand with all the toxicity and things they say. irl they do not even have the balls to say these kind of stuff.
