When will CHUDs finally take the hint and realize that geek culture isn't FOR them?

Geekdom is supposed to be an escape from normies, what obligation do we have to respect normie politics? They are more than welcome to go back to golf or watching football or something.

yeah when i was like late teens/early 20s my geek gaming circle was all like weird and gay AF

would have hated a bunch of social conservative weirdos getting in our business. the few that played at the local hobby shop were creepy and everyone avoided them

Same. Before gaming was really mainstreamed, it was a lot of weird nerd types (self included). Now a LARP group? Mine made tabletop look like a football game right after 9/11.
