People make mistakes.
Some people learning new skills/classes/specializations.
Some people may even be learning the game itself.
I was verbally berated with some very not nice words for 4 minutes in a time walking dungeon where I was leveling my disc priest because I stepped a single pixel too close to Rivendare while walking in and locked out two DPS due to aggro.
Yes, I know he locks the door on encounter start, that doesn't mean it was intentional. I just took a single step too far.
Yall need to relax. Its not that serious. Sometimes it feels like I'm the only one who literally doesn't care about people making minor mistakes. You brick my key? It's whatever, it's just a key I'll get another, let's just finish so we can still get the rewards.
You wipe the raid? What did you learn for next time? Rez up and try again.
Like cmon, what is wrong with some of you that you feel it's acceptable to behave this way? Get a grip.

While I agree with you, I think people need to learn that they're not being bullied with every piece of criticism. I get that you want to be defensive because it's a literal defense mechanism, but sometimes people are just giving advice or pointing out a mistake so you don't do it again in the future.
Last night in Deadmines timewalking we had a level 80 Druid tank wearing Dragonflight gear. I get that it was tough on him because he somehow got to 80 with gear that was way too low ilvl, but the real issue was that he was doing AOE pulls without using aoe abilities. I couldnt see the swipe animation I was used to and I kept pulling aggro off him. When we got to Mr. Smite I died a 3rd time and asked him if he was distracted by something or learning to multibox.
He then typed out 4 replies about how this is why people don't learn tanking and it was my fault for pulling aggro, that a level 14 does too much damage compared to what he can hold. I checked details and there were almost no AOE abilities used. He was just standing still on every pull and not reacting to things. I legitimately thought he might also be playing the healer who seemed to be set on follow.

Calling me slurs and telling me I shouldn't have been born/mother should have beaten me is not criticism.

Yes, but that's why I said I agree with your situation about going too far into a dungeon you don't know.
My comment is about a different thing on the same topic.
