Toxicity in online gaming wont stop because of the anonymous nature of it. Its similar to social media and message boards. And because theres so much backlash against toxicity in practically every other aspect of society, those are two of the last places where people who want to say offensive things feel like they can do so without any real repercussions so they resist any attempts to change the nature of it.

On top of that, many peoples response when they encounter someone toxic online is to just play something else. Or stop playing online altogether. So you end up with an increasing pool of toxic players, who then drive away any new non-toxic players that try to play. Just like there are certain online sites and forums that people who just want a civil discussion dont go to because the site is full of toxic people.

You look EXTREMELY immature when you announce that you're about to ignore someone. No one cares, including the person about to be ignored. Just FYI.
