Weird, I hear that a lot, but have neutral or positive experiences 99/100 times. Though I tend to group up with/send invites to anyone who has a mic and was competent or fun so there's fewer chances to get shitlords per hour.
2 randos I met that way and introduced actually ended up moving in together and getting married.
It definitely depends on the games being played. Niche shooters like Tarkov and Hunt can have hilarious VoIP interactions. Meanwhile MOBAs don't even let you type because people are so toxic.
Yeah, I think a lot has to do with the community, game itself, and even what skill level you're at within the game.
If there's more room for less serious interactions or to be perceived as singularly valuable to your teammates, you're gonna have more positive communications than if the only time you're communicating is rote callouts, arguing which tactics to use, and telling them to do better.
