I haven't seen this posted much anywhere else but I think it needs to be noted:
I've been playing chess for about a year and a half. Starting at like a 700 rating and I'd say I'm around 1250 now and still climbing (this account is new, so its around 1175)
However, this entire time over all my accounts, every time I attempt to jump into the forums and start some fun chess discussion with others I am immediately shown why chess gatekeeping is such a meme.
The amount of sheer toxicity in these forums rivals any other game I've ever played online. People use their rating like some kind of social credit system, interjecting every opportunity they get to flaunt it.
Beginners and intermediates can barely ask questions without being attacked for their skill or mistakes. As far as I'm concerned this is the absolute worst community I've ever seen and I wish it wasn't because I love chess.
You have definitely not yet played much of otb i guess, most of the people online can be toxic or mean but try playing otb rated events and you will get to see sporty players here and there everywhere!
premenstrual is the opposite
I am in sympathy

And do you know the technical name for that ?
TV-Tropes lists it as "Actually Pretty Funny", and the definition begins with "Ever wanted to punch someone but you couldn't because you were laughing too hard?"

Insecurity and defensiveness are at the heart of the human condition. Some people unconsciously try to cope through various arrogant behaviors. Well adjusted (secure) people tend to be patient and encouraging. Arrogant people are trying to prove something to everyone and themselves. I was involved in the high level competitive ballroom dance world. Winning and losing can really bring out the worst in certain people. I think we are often at our most unconscious when we are judging others.
