The most toxic communities I know of are the Genshin community, Payday 2, FFXIV and source games communities in general.
From video gaming to card games and stuff in between, if it’s gaming you can probably discuss it here!

Dark Souls
Idk, the community on Reddit/online is pretty friendly and active. In PVP and co-op it’s typically pretty great the first week after launch and about 2-3 years after launch.
You can’t really get around the fact that self imposed challenge is a huge part of how the core fans enjoy the game and I think it’s difficult for newcomers to know when hardcore fans are speaking to them vs their own compatriots.
Sekiro fans are hugely supportive of newcomers though, probably because it’s a relatively less played game. The community around Elden Ring suffered from its own success I think.
Anything FromSoftware really. Any question is answered with a variation of “git gud”. Not to mention the elitism.
“I think DS is pretty ok”
“Git gud dude! DS is amazing!”
The only appropriate response to that is
Ingenius.
My guy
100%!
Ah, sadness…
But behold, cramped area!
tbh I’ve always found the community to be very helpful when I’ve needed a hand with anything
And I play offline because all online play did was waste my time with trolls
