I don't single out kids in multi-player games, nor do I live under the illusion that 'kids' are the most toxic ones in chat, either. Playing Rainbow Six: Siege, I would say the majority of "adults" are the most toxic in the community whereas the "kids" mostly play the game like it's Call of Duty instead of a breach & clear tactics shooter. Both are annoying in their own right, but the toxic "adults" shouting the n-word, calling everyone a faggot, or spouting the latest meme are by far worse than the alternative.
We, unfortunately, have formed this belief that any toxic behavior is due to the player being 'young,' rather than admitting to ourselves that some people never grow up.
