Salty in the context of video games is used as a slang term to describe a player who feels or exhibits frustration, anger, or disappointment, especially after a loss. This term can be used to describe players who react inadequately to events in the game, such as losing a match, character death, or unfair decisions.
The term originates from the idea that a person is "salty" from tears, expressing their disappointment. In this context, it is similar to the terms "bitter" or "sour" in English, which are used to describe negative emotions.
The description of a salty person is quite similar to toxic. However, an inadequate reaction is already the result of that person being very upset due to a loss or another negative event for them.
An emotionally mature person will not let the state of salty turn into toxic.
