Just keep searching for TF2 community servers, not all of them will be that toxic. Some really don't care about anything, as long as you don't mic spam or grief. There are some furry ones that will definitely be LGBT friendly, if you don't mind that.

even if the servers are queer friendly, I haven't found one yet that doesn't allow things like ableist language. They only feel marginally better with the tradeoff of smaller games
I play tf2 :3
nice, do ya got a discord or something I could add?
I have a matrix
I need to finish setting mine up lol, maybe I can just add on steam directly
Oki. Mine is somewhere in my tech lgbt account bio, linked in my beehaw bio
I'm a pretty big fan of Dark and Darker! Will admit, the randoms from the Discord are... Questionable at best lol. Would definitely be happy to roll with ya whenever you're not streaming, though! PM me your deets!
Wish I did, because I'd play with you, but if those companies aren't taking moderation seriously, I'd personally choose to do something else. There's lots of other games out there, after all!
a lot of other games, but none like those I'm afraid
and I haven't seen a game that takes moderation seriously enough yet, they are all run by capitalists
Deep Rock Galactic has been pretty cool (single purchase, no subscriptions). Nice community, devs who listen. Great solo experience, too.
Another good F2P game is Warframe. The community is generally nice, especially to new players.
Competitive games, though, seem to attract the alt-right tryhards who find pleasure in causing others misery. I quit those several years ago for my mental health, just because I was tired of listening to toxic people lose their shit. They can scream at each other, for all I care.
i turn mics off
Fair. Make sure you take care of your mental health, either way. No game is worth sacrificing it, but that's just my humble opinion.
which is why i play them with groups of people
By tf2 are you referring to Team Fortress 2? I feel like every shooter these days is a class-based shooter, what sets tf2 apart from something like Overwatch?
So many games focus mainly on competitive play. Tf2 is the only multiplayer fps where I feel free to relax and goof off.
literally none of them have spy or anything close to it for a start
xDefiant has a class with an invisibility skill (which lets one do plenty of shotgunning losers in the back)? Apex Legends has Mirage with various decoy and invisibility skills? idk, I don't know every single one of these shooters, but I will grant you that the way the Spy works in TF2 is pretty unique.
a big issue is accessibility as well, a lot of those are organized around headshots and are much less clear visually, as well as requiring much stronger computers to play
so while tf2 has a fascist problem, it also has a lot of people i aint gonna leave behind
overwatch fucked itself up so hard its barely playable now
