I agree. There are some GOOD gaming communities, hard to believe, but they're out there.
The Doom community overall is pretty good. ZDoom and Doomworld forums do not tolerate racism and transphobia.
The only problem in the Doom community over the past decade has been that stupid fucking mod called Brutal Doom and it's neo-nazi creator and the fan base around it. Brutal Doom sucks and it's creator was such a massive piece of shit, he kept getting himself banned from every forum and most players weren't fans of Brutal Doom's community cause it brought all these new players to the community who's first and only experience with Doom was through that shitty mod, so they went around complaining about how the vanilla game sucks and certain map sets are impossible to play with Brutal Doom's changes. Not fun times at all and the general community hated the Brutal Doomers so much, they didn't want to deal with them. They mostly populate the Doom subreddit and post on Youtube and other gaming forums about how the game sucks without the mod.

I'd say it's about 70/30 on normal people vs psycho gamers. Only problem is that 30% spends 18 hours/day gaming so you run into them all the time.
