Ah, someone beat me to commenting on the uncletopia servers while I was typing this, but I'll post anyway.
Last I recall, many people don't really like the Uncle Dane servers that much, it's just that they're kinda the only ones around with players ever since the update which added matchmaking and fucked other less mainstream community alternatives.

I think a big problem alot of people in the TF2 community have is that they have this idea that there is a "correct" way to play TF2, and they will actively trash talk and belittle other communities and players who disagree or prefer another way to play. So while TF2 does have issues at a level the players can't really control, there's really alot of hostility even among players of the game towards each other. It sometimes feels like they're not really fighting over a game they love, and rather their position in the community hierarchy, and it's all very gay.
I've only ever also seen this attitude in Quake 3 players, who also think there's a "correct" way to play and are so insufferable upon contact that they literally can't get new people to play even though Q3 can be played for free with better netcode than Quake Live.
uncletopia outside of what has been already specified has another few things that other mainstream servers don't, two simple cases that come to mind are sv_pure 1, skial as an example has sv_pure 2/strict sv_pure 1 (meaning basically that you can't use any skins that tweak the looks of your own weapons), and these servers don't do false advertising, or basically you get plenty of servers that show fake ping on the server browser, even if they blatantly announce to the world that they're from the US/EU, afaik again, uncletopia doesn't do this type of shit.
with the "correct" way of playing the game most of the time is either a request for an actual necessity (ex. a medic when there's a need to push an engi nest/trade an excess of snipers and spies for power classes or simply have an engineer for his buildings), or a request to not shit up the game for everyone else in your team (ex. griefing/friendlies, spawncamping).
if you're talking about loadouts, the "correct" way is mostly shitting on cancerous weapons/playstyles that make the game super annoying to play (few examples are the scout with the crit-a-cola/mad milk, pyro has scorch shot, attack engi with the short circuit, medic has the vac if he can use it properly, spy has the kunai), meme/sub-optimal loadouts are ignored if the player can back the gameplay up, and w+m1 is a cope made for redditors that are shocked that pyroes use their flamer to cook people with.
and the hostility between players ends up being legitimate because it's a split between:
- shitters/friendlies/griefers that do their best to not play the game and drag everyone else around them down
- redditors/trannies/faggots that spam the same shitty memes over and over again mixed with the creepy coomer talk they make, will piss and shit themselves if you express yourself in a way they hate (you write niggerfaggot in chat/call them a bunch of niggerfaggots), and will beg for jannies to gag/ban you because evil words/opinions.
- the dreaded sweats/tryhards that make the game a slog and cancer for everyone else because the opposing team gets rolled by a medic combo/sniper(s)/roamers, and they're stuck waiting for the round to end because they just can't play the game.
also with that image i can agree to the shitting except to the "pyro takes skill to use" "random crits are bad" and "remove random spread" part, those three are valid arguments and no amount of shitting and pissing makes them dumb.
Was playing on uncletopia when a player rage quit and called someone a nigger, everyone in the chat were acting like it was the end of the world lol. You'll end up seeing constant tranny or "femboy" shit there and wouldn't you know you'll get banned for telling them to fuck off. Constant annoying map re-voting because they will all vote for a map as a joke and then freak out when they have to actually play it.
and this is one of my beefs with uncletopia and i'd absolutely dump it the instant if i could find a similiar server with no chat moderation, you have an automatic chat bot that will gag you if you say too many bad words, then add the surplus of trannies and tranny fuckers, and you're cooking with cucktopia.
but thankfully sometimes there's tranny haters/relatively chud-pilled people that openly spit on these faggots and as far as i have seen didn't get gagged or banned, so that might count for something.
also fuck meme map votes, no i will not play dustbowl/hoodoo/2fort, you're a stupid cunt if you play these maps and you should kill yourself for even voting this garbage that is absolutely hideous to play.
