META: r/xboxone and it's ever-increasing toxicity.

So, before we begin, and before 'that guy' decides to read through everything I've ever posted in order to discredit me, yes, I primarily post over at r/PS4. I don't really prefer one to the other, with the PS4 miles ahead for me in terms of UI and the Xbox edging it in terms of exclusives (or exclusive. I just miss Halo really) and it's twitch integration on the storefront.

Getting to the point, what I really wanted to highlight is how toxic this sub is becoming of late. As a community it seems like we're in denial concerning the attitudes of each console's particular fanbase - namely the fact that in almost every thread made that warrants comparison to the Playstation, ten people feel the need to repeat the sentiment that the Playstation community is toxic and the Scorpio is some kind of punishment. I mean, to illustrate, here's a few recent posts:

"Watch how Playstation fans will switch to "gfx don't matter" and "4k is unnecessary" or "30fps is fine""

"The ps4 fans turned this whole generation into resolution fps flame war. The 720p/30fps was referring to quantum break. But that game was definitely not a simple 720p.... It was using 4 720p pixels to construct their graphics. Anyway..."

"Can you please go back to r/ps4?.. you don't belong here."

"Sorry, you're right, fanboys. It's just that there seems to be a lot of them, acting like utter shit heads in all the comment section's for Xbox/Nintendo news. Really makes the PlayStation community look toxic."

Bear in mind, all of these posts can be found in a non-inflammatory thread, with little reason for such blatant toxicity. People bleat on about r/PS4 being this and that, but in reality they're typically relatively critical of the PS4 when warranted, and were largely disappointed with the Neo when compared to the Scorpio.

What I'm getting at is that this sub seems to be stuck in a console wars mentality, and the mental gymnastic some people are using to justify their shitposting and feel superior is amazing. They're fucking games consoles, guys. Can we not drop the bullshit and just talk about games? I typically use r/PS4 for a reason - the toxicity here is unbearable.

TL;DR: Can we all just get the fuck over console wars and calm our superiority complexes down a notch?
