Communities on MMOs these days aren't like they were 20 years ago. They're FULL of racists, bigots, and morons spewing their shitty political opinions in the different world chats. Way more than there used to be.

I'd be happy for some moderation to silence all of those people.

Um, 20 years ago MMOs were also full of racists, misogynists, and others engaging in harassment and “spewing their shitty political opinions” both in-game and out (e.g. guild sites).

>Way more than there used to be

If you played 20 years and today, you can surely notice the difference in the community?

Not really, proportionally it seems about the same to me. Or did as of last year when I stopped playing MMOs again.

There's just more players which means more bad apples.
