It's not just nerd rage online, this is a very human trait, unfortunately. It's not unique to gamers, either. The internet has just given a very large forum to those people (as well as all other types).
You guys remember the principal from Ferris Bueller's Day Off? Yea, that guy got harassed in person back in the 80s for his work as the "bad guy."
Larry Hagman stated that back when played J. R. Ewing Jr. On the soap opera Dallas he was attacked and hit over the head by angry little old ladies on more than one occasion because his character was such a bastard. He said "it hurt! In Texas little old ladies carry guns in their purses."
You really have to feel for that guy who played Joffrey Baratheon
Or Jar Jar Binks
But I like Will Smith....

Saying that....I think a lot of Horde players are misguided in that they have been led on to believe the Horde were boy scouts all this time....I mean you have a race of freaking zombies on your side, come on.
huh? Nobody thought the horde were boy scouts, but they weren't evil like so many alliance fanboys want to claim all of the sudden. Anyone that played the three RTS games knows the origin of the Alliance and the Horde and neither was good or evil. The forsaken were tacked onto the Horde to add a race for WOW.
I chose the Horde not because I thought they were evil, but because they were different than 99% of RPGs. If I want to play as or with humans, there are a million games for that.
Anyway, they done fucked up with the Horde the past few expansions. Calling them out for shitty writing is perfectly fair. Going beyond that is shitty and a very tiny percent of the community does that.
So....I say "a lot of Horde players" and you come back with "nobody thought". Seriously man, learn to articulate without absolutes. There are literally players on the WoW forums loyal to the Horde that claim the Alliance are the bad guys and Horde are the good guys....so to say "nobody" is either ignorant or intellectually dishonest.
You keep using your views to defend yourself as though I personally called you out as being one of the players in question....kind of vain don't you think? If it doesn't apply to you awesome....good on ya! But to say it applies to "nobody" is silly.
The new age term for weirdos that instead of outright flaming someone or many people think it is more discreet or cooler if you cal them toxic.
Blizzard makes their money by creating the "compete" attitude" and gives ranks to make others look like lower standard players,then call some or however many toxic...lmao.
So ALL sports have a compete and in all sports there is always going to be at times anger and issues with the opposing players.So all sports people are toxic,ok i get it ,he thinks he is cool using this new age term.
Businesses are often toxic,competing against each other,out for the same buck and will call out competitors as being lesser of the quality than themselves.
Hmm ok i get it ,everyone is at times toxic,let's label all of society as toxic,can't just move from moment to moment we need to label people because being on the internet,that is the new age cool thing to do,a bunch of weirdos if you ask me.
I even remember reading a thread on Gamasutra a couple years ago where some developer was calling all gamer's toxic for using so much negativity about their games.Yep everyone wants to insult anyone else whom doesn't either make them look good,agree with everything they say or do anything that might harm their ability to get rich exploiting naive gamer's.
Never forget 3 mile Island and never trust a government official or company spokesman.
And just like that, Metzen insured that I will not be returning to WoW.
What atrocious customer relations he has.
Never a good idea to call customers, former, potential, or otherwise, names.
I will not return as long as he continues to write for them.
He's just upset that his little narrative wasn't loved by all. He showed what he's made of with this. I thought it would have been sterner stuff.
You do realize that Metzen retired at least a couple years ago and doesn't write for them any more?
Well, sadly this clickbait topic name portrays Metzen as if he still was the game director. Everyone who has played WoW or kept within times knows Metzen is gone.

um, no.
Everyone is "not" toxic at times and no one is saying that "everyone in video games is being labeled."
Try again.
