Bit idea: be considerate, helpful, kind, and patient to the people you're playing a game with, or even playing against, and if you get any pushback for that, say "it's just a game."

I've almost entirely given up on PvP in games nowadays (other than invader duels in Dark Souls games and the occasional counterstrike match), but from my experience Co-op stuff with randos is just an unrelenting mass of toxicity now as well.
MMOs are the worst of it but, like, I've had some vile language leveled at me for not taking matchmade L4D games seriously.
I was on the monster hunter subreddit yesterday and someone made a post saying a mechanic added by the dlc wasn't as necessary to use as people said it was (correct BTW it's a nice dps boost but I wouldn't say it's a hard requirement). The entire thread was just shitting on the poster and anyone else who said yeah you won't kill monsters in 5-10 minutes but you can still clear in like 15 and the same is true about not having super optimal hunting gear etc. I've always avoided online play as I play them casually and don't really want the pressure of having to do well for the sake of randos and wow did that thread confirm my worst nightmares. It honestly sucks cuz I avoid pretty much all coop in online games for that reason even though they're my favorite kind of games.
