    These guys know they don’t have to interact with shit they don’t like right? If a game has something you don’t like not only do you not have to play the game, but nobody is going to force you to do it. It’s not like they were gonna play it anyway.

      I mean, have you encountered these Real Gamers™ before? They go out of their way to be enraged at this stuff. It’s all deliberate.

          God, that happened with a friend of mine who we drifted apart during covid. He was never really a feminist in the first place, but started consuming gamer gate shit. Doesn’t have time to play games, but likes to listen to outrage.

        Rage is the only thing that makes them feel :<

        Sad pathetic lives of socially separated and economically distraught young adults finding joy in the worst of humans ;(

        The best part about this particular situation is the graph you can draw that shows an inverse correlation between their rage and their junk volume.

        Nothing more disarming than “wow! You sure seem personally impacted by that allegation, is that a reaction that’s happening often from lovers, friends or very close family members?”
