I don't follow Dota 2, but if /r/dota2 is anything like /r/leagueoflegends, people go there to: 1. Post dank memes 2. Follow esports drama 3. Complain about Valve (might not be as applicable since Redditors tend to be Valve fanboys and Riot is hilariously incompetent) Plus, TI5 is going on right now, so the entire subreddit is focused on the tournament. And in my experience, people who are into Dota 2 don't like the word "toxicity" because they see it as a meaningless buzzword pushed by Riot, so the downvotes might be a kneejerk reaction against the word, among other things.
