So far World of Tanks is what I considered least toxic... But I haven't really went far deep into their fanbase yet.

Differemt story in the Russian community and servers, based on what my friends tell me.
OT: I would say...English-speaking Minecraft community
Guild Wars 2 has been a recent(for the last year or so) one, I found a great chill guild and the times of people screaming in my ears in dota are long behind me.
osu also was fantastic, I miss you all...

I'd probably say Trials Evolution's (didn't really get to play HD and Fusion). Everyone I met was competitive but always cool and willing to help you get better at the game.
Probably Monster Hunter? The community for Amplitude 2016, whatever of it existed, was always very nice whenever I'd post in groups for it but Monster Hunter trumps it out in terms of players helping one another improve.
I agree with Minecraft above though. Only toxicity I've really encountered in MC was back in a MLP server right when the whole fandom was starting to rot.

Tbh I haven't found any games where the community wasn't chill but I believe Terraria is the least toxic of them all
Roblox Pokemon Brick Bronze, ok firstly Roblox isn't really a 100% nontoxic community, however, in the Pokemon Brick Bronze server it was actually the friendliest game in Roblox I found, lots of people help each other, like teaching them what to do, trading them some good pokemon, becoming friends, etc, etc. One time i got baited into trading all my pokemon in exchange for them to have mega stone, i was so sad and frustrated, so I called out for help in the community and eventually, they reported (and banned) the dude who stole my pokemon's and traded me some good mons as well. It was really the nicest (for me) community in Roblox, but I'm still sad (even today) Roblox had to take the game down due to copyright :'(
From my experience single player and/or co-op-type of games tend to have more wholesome communities since the members are not put against each other, aka, there's no competition. Asshats will still be asshats no matter the community, but at least the game does not "create" animosity

Spanish-speaking is toxic too.
But current minecraft community is a bit less toxic than it was 5 years ago.
probablyyy hylics and hypnospace outlaw? also club penguin ngl. minecraft has a decent fanbase nowadays
if i had to say (correct me if this doesn't count), from my experience, most of the speedrunning community, most people are chill and are willing to help you.

Lots of single player games have chill communities (Don't Starve, Huniepop, etc) but the least toxic gaming community I've been in is Runescape. Sure, there's been a lot of drama if you look for it and there are bad eggs but most of the people I've met there are chill and the moderation team is cool.
factorio's got an amazingly nice and supportive community, I think it's because there's a bit of dedication required to get out of the space where you're a "new" player

also no one bully you there for being a tiktoker cus almost everyone came from the devlopers tiktok where he post devlogs

Halo.....I know it's actually pretty toxic, however, it does have the most wholesome moment I have had an encounter within a game. I was playing capture the flag (one flag), my team was losing and everybody eventually quit besides me, when It was just me playing offense against 8 other people, one of the enemy team members drove his vehicle towards, picked me up, and drove to his flag, the rest of his teammates were just waiting there not shooting me, and were just vibing. Eventually, after my confusion about why I wasn't being shot, I picked up the flag, and then most of the team just followed me back to my base, waiting for me to capture their flag.
The enemy team still won, but I found it very cute and wholesome that the other team was just supporting me being alone on my team.

GOI be a pretty chill community (Getting Over It)... well, at least the speedrunning part of it. There's people who congratulate you when you get a good time and it's just an overall nice community. Twitch streamers and such who speedrun this game are really nice and don't care if you are bad at the game. I think most of this reason is because of the YouTuber who's gaining popularity who speedruns this game: Codyumm.
compared to other games, it's so easy to get involved in even the "niche" parts of osu! community, so I think if you have some intuition where to look you're guaranteed to find lots of cool people. I don't know if overall it's less toxic or whatever but it's your personal experience that matters

I'm surprised no one has mentioned the Kirby fandom. Most people are really nice and chill, and the few that aren't can be easily avoided.
But in general, the most toxic video game fandoms I've found usually have two groups, the "listen to the fans!" and "the listen to the fans group is toxic!", fighting with each other (Super Smash Bros., Pokemon, Paper Mario, etc.). A variation of that is the fanboys and the "this fandom is toxic!" group fighting with each other (Undertale in 2016, Fortnite, etc.). As long as a fandom doesn't have any of these conflicts and people don't take the games too seriously, the fandom is really pleasant and chill.

i prefer MHW, even how stupid i am, they still carry me, lol
it's very hard to find a very not toxic fandom but I'd say mine is object shows. It's mostly young kids so unless if you get really deep into the fandom there's not that much drama and stuff
the terraria comunity is pretty suporting to all kinds of terraria players
also the dont starve comunity was also really nice if i didn't accidentaly burn an entire base accidentally
oops
and the gd comunity is the toxic of all the comunities

It depends where you look but I've found some pretty nice MineCraft communities before.
I dunno, but what i know is toxicity exist in every fandom.
That is so so so so wrong. It looks all clean on the surface but the community is freaking terrible. Not because of the little kids but the hackers who thrive because of roblox’s shitty security, predators who prey on kids, admins that are corrupt and will turn a blind eye to anything, and so much more. I left Roblox a couple years ago and all these problems have gotten worse. I have no plans to return because, well, I’m not a little kid anymore.NoobDev wrote:

Any community where there isn't a significant hierarchy is not toxic
VRChat. I'm honestly surprised everyone there was friendly. But don't be confused and mix both trolls and toxicity in the fanbase, since from what I see even the 'trolls' on these community servers are still nice in a way which is laughable to see and witness.
probably osu! or private minecraft servers (they usually aren't the basic anarchy and do really have creative stuff)
The osu community likes to appear meaner than it actually is. For the size of the game, the community is not as toxic as expected.
this is a tough question,but i would have to go with among us,its a big game and normally you would here alot of bad things about the fanbase by know like fortnite or league e.t.c.,but i havent heard alot of negativity from it,evem smaller generes like etterna or osu is toxic especially if you talk about touchy subjects like pp or genetics,but among us is just harmless game just made for having fun with freinds that doesnt rely to much on skill or strategy and involves random luck
I would've said the Kirby community but then again, its a community i've been in and out of so I can't fully judge if its better than other ones.
the only toxicity comes from an alliance being dead, or when some meseta bot is in lobby
other than that, we literally just do emotes until it's concert LMAO
Well... World of Tanks so far.
it's kinda the game I played a lot but I only got into the surface of the fandoms, so far It's the least toxic one.

I played a game called oneshot and its like undertale but with one of the most wholesome fandoms. I think its because the fandom is a lot smaller so nobody really goes around starting drama.
i don't know anymore. all fandoms have toxicity in them.
a web game called snicksnack. everyone there was just too nice for my liking
a very little game called slydisim. Everyone is just super nice here.

its just some people who just came to have a fun time on a shooter that they found devlogs on tiktok

ah yes, "can't be toxic if nothing's happening in general *points at head*"SmilMan wrote:

The least toxic player base I've been a part of personally is definitely the Tetris players. I've yet to have a single bad interaction with any of them - given that the combined age of the top 2 ELO players of Classic Tetris is 25, it's not too surprising to hear of people being respectful to one another. I've seen people get annoyed at younger presence in player bases, but acceptance and tolerance has definitely increased since I started being in the general sphere of gaming.
Anyone use Cockatrice? I found it to be as wholesome as any singleplayer/co-op game, but I haven't gotten that deep (for those wondering what games I pplay using it, I play Magic [the intended game] and WWE Raw Deal (anyone still playing that?).
For those who don't know what this program is, it's basically a CCG/TCG client that's usable for Windows, Mac and Linux (I'm a Garuda Linux user for those that speak Linux).

Does minecraft have a toxic community ? I only played single player on it since i first buy it 6 years ago
the omori and oneshot fandom is the comfiest fandom in existence
There are toxic subcommunities within Minecraft. If ever I play, it's modded single-player on Version 1.12.2 for the best mod experience.FhuSoe wrote:

Recently discovered the communities around ADOFAI, all of them have been pretty wholesome so far
MOTHER series. I really love Earthbound so much
I don't know much about Touhou but the fans are really cool AF
Undertale has a great community. It's just overshadowed by the bad ones
TF2 afaik playing for 2 weeks now
Sure most fandoms have bad sides but just ignore them like what I did

True, Attorney Online is pretty hellish though. Not sure what's going on over there nowadays, or if it even still exists, but I interacted on it for a bit of time and left because it plain sucked. As somebody who was a huge roleplay maniac at the time, everybody participated in court cases just for an arbitrary win (zOmG jUdGe BiAsEd!1). Drama is exceptionally easy to spark, however I admit I was very irritable at the time. Generally speaking, the playerbase doesn't seem willing to have a nice chat or roleplay at all. Well, take it with a grain of salt, this is just a surface glance, I'm not a veteran or anything.SmilMan wrote:

I play Touhou and the fanbase seems pretty nice to me. I knew some people who were fans of the franchise like me, and they were pretty nice. Not much to say about the community, Touhou has become a little niche since it's not as popular as it once was. I think some of the fans have adopted a certain gatekeeping mindset so they can weed out unpleasant folks. Personally, I don't think this sort of attitude is necessary, because you can always simply ignore those kinds of people, but maybe others agree with it, IDK. It's just kind of an eccentric defensive reaction to what I like the call The Great Normie Flood of the Pandemic. Sounds dumb, I know. :pWizzmane wrote:

Gas Station Simulator community is actually good community that helpful to the dev by providing feedback and help new player

Stardew Valley fans are definitely so nice.
Touhou, as a fandom its not really toxic, and very welcoming.
As for individuals, well there all very different in very amusing ways.

I miss PSO2 so much, wasted hundreds of hours on that game. The community was pretty nice, as long as you didn't accidentally join the 18+/weird blocks.keremaru wrote:

GW2 is the friendliest one for me, there are a few bad apples there but it almost never happens. PSO2 comes close though.
I don't know if Algodoo counts as a game. But the people in the marble racing community are very cool and there are rarey annoying people in it.
