The weird unspoken antag culture on classic that makes people uncomfortable

[Jimbo20]

For what it's worth, public complaints about another players' conduct like that are against the rules, or at least officially discouraged. If you send a discord ahelp theres usually an admin who can hop in and tell people to cool it. Though since I've never really seen or heard of anybody getting official warnings for moderate post-round toxicity it will pretty much keep happening in the future.

And also to note, this happen in RP too. The complaints are usually different (ie didnt escalate enough, escalated too much, didn't "lose" to sec at the end of the round, evaded arrest/death, etc) but the general expectation of toxicity is the same. Any given round end theres maybe a 50/50 shot that people are complaining about not liking some particular antag's thing in the discord.

I don't know if there's much that can be done about it other than for people to just like, acknowledge that the culture exists and try not to reinforce it. I'm a hypocrite because I have malded about antag stuff before and mostly everyone else has at some point - but it costs nothing to have a level of detachment and empathy (not as like an active FEELING but just in the back of your mind), meaning that instead of malding/bringing up meta shit and ruining the immersion, you don't say much about said thing or banter about it.

the thing that annoys me most about it all is people asking "where are the antags. do something" it's like asking someone to tell a joke right on the spot, it better be a good fucking joke
