I’ve always understood this site to be anti-gamer but for some reason I’ve always chosen to blind myself to the fact that many of you are just selfdepricating gamers.

You’re not really invested in the cause.

I feel like I’m in an Alcoholics support group and I’m the only one not drinking while you guys just hate on yourselves.

I feel like a clown, feeling supported by TRAITORS.

I stand alone with a double barrel shotgun surrounded by people double handing gamecube controllers what the FUCK

There's a difference between playing games, one of many potential recreational activities, and internalizing the act of playing games as part of your identity.

Capital-G freeze-gamer are the ones that get really mad at people for not being hardcore enough or for not making every waking moment of playing a game a performative act of suffering and chewing glass. Also they're really horny about feeemales but in the driest possible way and hate actually seeing living breathing thinking feeemales present in their preoccupation.

Yea there's a huge difference between gamers who are sick of corporations churning out shitty unfinished games and Gamers who are mad at those corporations for ruining the games by including characters that aren't straight white males.

Totally agree. That's my subtext actually.

There's a difference between huffing paint, one of many potential recreational activities, and internalizing the act of huffing paint as part of your identity.
