I know you're playing UO so maybe you're already in that environment, but I'm playing LOTRO and my experience is that every old Western-style MMO, especially on private servers, is primarily populated by racist 45 year old white men who constantly say unhinged stuff about immigrants and whatever else in all chat. So if you ever want to yell at boomers, log on and have at it while you get your grind on.
I know this feel, but actually the shard I'm playing UO on is really good and has a zero tolerance policy for any kind of bigotry or other isms. Now the other UO shards? I peeked into a discord for a classic one and it was bad, like you said boomers/gen-xers and lots of racism.

Yeah you have to specifically look for servers that ban the "What's wrong with fascism? I think Hitler had some good ideas" people.
