So people get toxic when you advertise misleadingly?

The whole online culture around gaming has been so thoroughly infiltrated by reactionaries, incels, and plain old misanthropes any developer can expect to be abused online by toxic gamers. Whether or not the grievances are genuine is beside the point.

I'm not criticizing you or defending this game, I'm just saying how fucked it is that gamers being abusive is normalized and expected.
