I'm not leaving Destiny because of the exotic mission. I'm leaving because of the toxicity towards people with anxiety
For me, it's not even about the exotic class item or the mission. I've done raids and the like before, and while I don't prefer them, I can manage. At the end of the day, it's a video game.
But seeing so many high profile content creators, influencers, streamers, and social media users downplay and even joke about people with social anxiety?
"you're just using anxiety as an excuse to get hand outs"
"go play a single player game"
"if you can't do this then you have bigger problems in your life"
I've dealt with severe panic attacks and anxiety for about 15 years and can understand and empathize with a lot of people who deal with it.
When I see hundreds or even thousands of people agreeing with community members who are dog piling on individuals with actual mental health issues, I'm disgusted.
So, yeah. It's not about the game anymore. I can't continue to put myself in a community spearheaded by those that treat mental health as a punchline.
"if you cant do this you have bigger problems in life"
Wow, they sound like a 140 IQ psychologist lol.
Like i had no idea my antisocial behavior was a problem. I thought i was normal like everyone else. Which is why ive played solo for the last 2-3 years.
