Do you believe there is a problem of toxicity in the Chess community? Why or why not?

Uh, it kind of does make them smarter.

i mostly happens in the daily puzzle comments

stop it, you toxic monkey.

sorry just trying to be as offended as I possible can

oh yes, the daily puzzle, the last stand of humanity.

Toxicity in the Chess community? Oh, no, not at all! It's a serene and idyllic paradise where players engage in peaceful debates and kindly pat each other on the back for their brilliant moves.

Insults and bad manners? Simply non-existent! It's a realm where everyone floats on clouds of positive energy and serenades each other with motivational speeches. So, worry not! Toxicity is but a tiny, imaginary pawn lost in the vast expanse of blissful chess harmony.

The "toxicity" problem isn't a chess problem, it's an internet problem.

it is 40 percent of the players are a bit toxic of course

I think that online chess in particular brings out a lot of hyper confident, emotionally insecure people.

It is not a chess nor an internet problem. It is a people problem magnified by the internet allowing certain types of person to say horrible things that they almost certainly would not dare to do if faced by the individual they are abusing.

You're wrong. Let's fight
