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

the ace attorney fandom, probably because its usually not active.
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.

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. :p

I would say it's osu!, it's just amazing. But if I would have to say something other than that, maybe Team Fortress 2.

Touhou, as a fandom its not really toxic, and very welcoming.
As for individuals, well there all very different in very amusing ways.

And you think they would be so wholesome since they're playing a village game with animals in it.

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
Totally agree with this old post.

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
osu! has a lot of very different sub communities, on one hand you have OT which is pretty nice in general, on the other hand you have the mapping community.

definitely PSO2
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
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.

True. Omori isn't not toxic. They're like a less worse fandom than undertale but still toxic.

GW2 is the friendliest one for me, there are a few bad apples there but it almost never happens. PSO2 comes close though.

I thought it's just a bunch of people going "oh hey, a marble video popped up on my feed, guess I should watch it because it's satisfying."

I hate this group of fandoms:

Undertale
Deltarune
Omori
Five Nights at Freddies
Friday Night Funkin


- No specific order, they're all as bad as each other

I think there's 3 things that contribute to non-toxic videogame fandoms:

1. The fandom is small.
2. No competitive aspect.
3. The game is wholesome.

The nicest one I've ever been in is probably the Another Eden fandom, which hits points 1 and 2, and although it's not the most wholesome game out there, I would also say it's not not wholesome.

I don't think 3 is needed. I've seen a few NSFW game fandoms but they're all so nice to eachother.

With number 3 I was thinking that less wholesome games tend to have more degenerate fandoms, but now that I think about it, degeneracy doesn't equal toxicity. So I agree.

And on this day, none dared mutter the beast's name: League.

Jokes aside I'd say the Splatoon and Binding of Isaac communities are pretty non-toxic.

All the Binding of Isaac players I've ever met insulted me for not liking the game, then proceeded to insult every game I ever played.

most toxic thing i've seen in the splatoon fandom is the whole sticks/motion debate

that's a good thing, by the way. the debate is dumb and sometimes people will just bring it up for no real reason, but it's mundane and borders on being a weird in-joke sometimes

i find wholesome games to actually tend to draw in worse fanbases, since they often attract children and immature adults. the sort of people who'll send outright death threats over pointless things

All the toxicity in The Sims fanbase gets vented on killing your sims in horrible ways and telling EA to fuck themselves.

Not the least toxic but it's a relative low toxicity.

Children. Especially the children. They make up most of the toxic parts of a community since they can't grasp the concept that actions have consequences. They won't listen to reason or constructive arguments either since they're just children.

They also lack the ability to understand that not everyone has the same opinions as them. Most of Twitter needs to learn that lesson lol

you'd develop the patience of a god dealing with that kind of toxicity

at least, assuming you don't become the toxicity
