On: Call of Duty gaming community points to ‘swatting’ in Wichita police shooting

CoD is really the worst, most other communities aren't like this.

I've been in plenty of online, semi-anonymous, young, male majority communities that were overly friendly, welcoming and inclusive to see that CoD is just a pisshole. A bad place. End of Story.

The stuff describes might be systemic but only systemic to a subset of communities, not all of the gaming community.

There's an age factor here.

From personal experiences games with older gamers tend to have less... idiots.

They are still there, it's just they are banished from well admined servers quickly.

Games from Tripwire Interactive are a good example (Red Orchestra, Killing Floor).

COD is bad, simply because it is too big and "young". But again if you play on well-admined servers it is not a problem.
