Anything niche and non-mainstream and thus ruined by normies.

Similar to this, I'll add that the Dragon's Dogma Xbox board was just the same. Was a strange place to be with all the surrounding muck.

For literally everything that exists on Earth, if there are at least three fans of that thing on the Internet, at least one of those fans will be toxic.

This is because people, in general, suck. And when you remove immediacy and consequences for actions from the equation, people allow that suck to blossom and bloom in full and vibrant view.

Uggg. Everyone knows plastic is cheap and for casual fan bases. Metal is the top-tier option you scrub!

Generally, the more niche the game is, the less toxic the fanbase. Find the odd 20 year old PC game that still has a small community playing online and you'll probably find a pretty non-toxic community.

This is true.

I also find that communities for certain ROM hacks like randomizers aren't very toxic, either.

D&D has one of the more toxic fandoms, especially when new editions come out. The Gognards that think Garys original vision is perfect and any changes to it must be met with swift retribution

While I think that's a decent rule of thumb I don't feel that's actually causative, merely correlated. I've seen a bunch of smaller games with varying degrees of toxicity. I think what actually causes it is competition and stakes; especially between players. Like in a vs. shooter you've got your ranking on the line so if you've got someone on your team who isn't pulling their weight for whatever reason you risk losing hours of work. Even if it's co-op you'll get people upset that the raid wiped for three hours because the druid wasn't healing well or a DPS stood in the fire causing people to lose their temper. Smaller, indie, games are usually less competitive and have lower stakes meaning less toxicity; but if you were to find a game with one of those two you'd likely find the toxicity shoot right back up.

A high skill cap can also result in a toxic nature, especially if you have people who aren't skilled getting paired with people who are, but that's more of an augment than a cause and there's multiple ways to negate it.

While FFXIV generally does have a kind friendly community, there is a toxic element to it. There's lots of trolling and elitist attitudes in the high end raiding scene.

What?!? I think MH has one of the most toxic online communities most stemming from it being too easy to get carried so you have players that didn't even really mean to end up in g rank stuff triple carting and causing less patient people to get super elitist about gear resulting in a lot of people getting kicked from groups. The boards here on gamefaqs were hilariously toxic back in the MH freedom days to the point where it went full circle and was kinda awesome for how funny it was.

It's somewhat lessened in world because they destroyed the online structure so no one ever talks to each other and they also made the game super easy solo so you never feel like you are dependent on a team outside some of the stuff that of course did end up toxic like extremoth.

Toxicity exists in every fan base, and that grows in proportion with how large the fan base is.
