Honestly I don't have an opinion on the creepiness / necessity of riot doing this... but anyone else notice how common the dichotomy between "forced politeness" and "free toxicity" occurs in naturally occurring human interactions?

In MOBA games, we have DotA versus LoL

In internet forums, we have 4chan versus Reddit

In nations, we have USA versus China

And even in traditional families, we have dad versus mom

For some reason, even though freedom and structure are polar opposites, as humans we apparently demand access to both.

Not really sure what you mean with those examples.
Visit /r/all and tell me how much "forced politeness" you see.
