The Toxicity in this Game is unreal.

I haven't really seen this much in my play time but I have seen it in videos of the game, so don't doubt it happens to more people. On PC, you can't directly send messages to people not on your friends' list so I've never seen some of the nasty messages I've seen console folks get that they link on Reddit and the FB group for the games. In Zack Scott's latest video he gets vanquished and the player who did it uses that dopey star face emote as an obvious taunt against him. This is part of why we see less videos from the Youtubers I watch for the games (Zack, Zero, and Wolfy). 

The emotes and expressions are largely pointless (I do use a few, I love the 'Praise Dummy!' one when playing zombies for example), and some are used specifically to be nasty to other players. If I wanted this kind of toxicity, I'd play LoL. In fact that's the main reason I don't play LoL and won't play Valorant, their community is horrendous. We don't need it here and even if many of us can just roll our eyes and ignore the taunter, and one of my favorite things to see is when a taunter gets vanquished, but it's much harder for a young child to deal with and for a game that has obvious appeal to younger audiences and parents, that's gotta be a common thing.
