Oh there definitely is an explicit low priority pool, but before you get slapped with that one, you can be assigned a hidden pool where it just ques you with other people who are getting excessive reports be it for verbal abuse or griefing. To this day the hidden pools remain unacknowledged by valve publicly.
While they did say they have "hidden pools" for hackers and voice/text abuse in CSgo/CS2 they have not admitted to the same in Dota2. Both games are running on the same base engine and both games also are part of valve's Overwatch pseudo AI moderation system.

The question is -- why don't we do this with "toxic" players?
Dota 2 already does. There is what's colloquially called "hidden pools". If you get reported for flaming in chat or being obnoxious you start getting preferentially matchmaked with other such people until your hidden metric for obnoxiousness/abuse improves.
I know this because I pretty consistently play in a team with a hothead who just can't help himself but start flaming in all chat, usually the following few games we get matched next are also with people like that. When I que solo, it's fine. When we que together and he has been "a good boy [tm]" the matchmaking is fine also, until he starts talking shit again in all chat. Then it's back to the hidden pool.

or those stupid stickers that rednecks were putting on gas pumps when gas got to 5 dollars a gallon with biden saying "I did this!"
Those were pretty funny, you have to admit.

But the US is entitled to refuse to trade with anyone it feels like
Maybe it is, but it shouldn't be.

Biden is not very bright, and he's certainly lost a step
Biden is not in charge of Biden's foreign policy. Biden is not in charge of much of anything anymore.

Speaking of software conspiracy theories, My favorite conspiracy theory is the whole Woke Rust thing. There is an attempt to replace C/C++ with Rust as THE programming language, while at the same time Rust's council is full of the wokes. That whitehouse statement doesn't alleviate my paranoia in the slightest.

Because the authors are commie goons (ex Something Awful posters). If you choose explicitly fascist or strasserist options "the world" (the writers) will punish you.

the shadiest scammer who's taking advantage of miserable people
That one, he was shilled to me by the youtube algo as well. Blocktube took care of that. He knows how to play the algo game, I don't TRUST people who are ontop of their youtube algo game.

Almost all the headmates/tulpa nonsense is faking for attention, I'm sure there are some genuinely real schizos in the mix but "hearing-voices-schizophrenia" is so rare in young adults that most of them have to be bullshitting.

"Society" isn't becoming more violent. You aren't pwning noobs /playing DnD and partaking in the ol' ultraviolence with your mates after recess. It's a specific group of people who are doing the murdering and raping disproportionately.

Shouldn't be a thing. You should be prevented from doing a profesion only if you commit a crime to harm a customer directly.

Hence why, despite being so goddamn poor, we don't have the same level of flagrant antisocial or low level criminal behavior as some more colorful parts of the West.
Reddit could have fooled me. The way they portray it, it's like an episode of Star Trek and the gang is visiting that world with the rape gangs.

Nobody cares enough about the stories of a dota likes, not unless they are putting the clothes back onto the women (League of Legends).
The other main contender to LoL, Dota2 has Gaben on top, so there isn't any "woke shit" going on there. Thus you will not be hearing about wokeness in Dota likes.
A recent hit like Last Epoch which is sort of a middle ground between Path of Exile and Diablo has apocalyptically bad story telling, yet the gameplay is fun enough and forgiving enough for it to get like 90-100k daily players.

Ironically the chinese wikipedia has a proper description of gamergate, the rest of the intrnet if it wasn't specifically written by gamergaters or "true" gamers is the usual lies by the game journo pro list cabal.

I have a solution to our globo-alternatively-sexual AI overlords. Force the poster to say Nigger at least once in their reply for the post to be accepted. Maybe if you're feeling frivolous have the user dedicate at least a sentence extolling the virtues of president Trump.
Use the mindrot they've poisoned the AI models with to fight them thus forcing the spam machine to use an actual human to complete the dirtywork.

aren't in the business of selling answers
They plainly are. When I give Bing/Google a question in a natural way it tries it damnest to give me an answer, even if half the time that answer is spam and the other half of the time the answer is gaslighting me about something I clearly know not to be the case irl.

And yet China has the camps of Xiangjin for Uyghurs and barely got a sternly worded letter
Anti-chinese media in the west tried to meme those into another holocauster but their problem is nobody in the west cares about muslims, especially not Muslims in china.

I know I can, and I have. But I shouldn't need to. There's something really screwy going on with the X scroll on this site that shouldn't be so.

harassment and social shunning Is violence. if Harassment and social shunning are appropriate so are harder forms of violence (if the threat is believed to warrant it enough).

An effective way would be to classify ANY bio research on viruses/bacteria that involves breeding them as requiring a certain level of bio-hazard-safety lab. Then after that ban the construction and existence of such high level labs.
The only problem with this strategy is the people who would have the power to do this don't have the incentive.
Attention economy feedback loop.
