I am looking for people to play both games with. The games tend to be filled with lots of reactionaries so it can be hard to exist in them.
Like I get kicked a lot in tf2 for having a queer flag pfp, and it is hard to queue for group content in dark and darker if I don't want to hear slurs.
I'm a pretty big fan of Dark and Darker! Will admit, the randoms from the Discord are... Questionable at best lol. Would definitely be happy to roll with ya whenever you're not streaming, though! PM me your deets!
Wish I did, because I'd play with you, but if those companies aren't taking moderation seriously, I'd personally choose to do something else. There's lots of other games out there, after all!
Deep Rock Galactic has been pretty cool (single purchase, no subscriptions). Nice community, devs who listen. Great solo experience, too.
Another good F2P game is Warframe. The community is generally nice, especially to new players.
Competitive games, though, seem to attract the alt-right tryhards who find pleasure in causing others misery. I quit those several years ago for my mental health, just because I was tired of listening to toxic people lose their shit. They can scream at each other, for all I care.
By tf2 are you referring to Team Fortress 2? I feel like every shooter these days is a class-based shooter, what sets tf2 apart from something like Overwatch?
Just keep searching for TF2 community servers, not all of them will be that toxic. Some really don't care about anything, as long as you don't mic spam or grief. There are some furry ones that will definitely be LGBT friendly, if you don't mind that.
even if the servers are queer friendly, I haven't found one yet that doesn't allow things like ableist language. They only feel marginally better with the tradeoff of smaller games
