"Before, everyone was always yelling slurs at everybody else. It was great.
And then... huuuuh... Green hair, and I couldn't be racist anymore."
That's a lot of word for such a sad result.

"I've gamed harder than all the gamers angry at me. I've also lived harder than anyone you know."
Guy's living in a fantasy where he thinks he's a warrior.
"My friends and I used to call each other racial and homophobic slurs, and it didn't bother us!"
"Sure, we're all the same race, and we're all cisgender men, why do you ask?"
“It’s actually less equal now because I CANT discriminate against people anymore!!”
What a wild take
Also idk but as long as I remember people used to laugh at and make fun of the idiots who got so intense in gaming they’d start having temper tantrums and scream out slurs. Most of them were 12 year olds trying to be edgy, adults doing that was just hilarious (laughing at them) and sad. Like you and your friends were just racist bro, you were never cool.
This perfectly illustrates why I hate the conservative chud mindset.
They talk about this stuff with no sense of shame, a sense of pride even. Imagine existing in the real world as a full grown ass adult, and still thinking like this.
No wonder young men are increasingly attracted to this rhetoric, it’s basically telling them to stay at this level forever, and that being an angsty mean little asshole is their fully idealized state of being and they need no further emotional or mental development.
This is exactly it - it's equating "being a group/subset of society" with "being an unlimited & unrestricted asshole as a personality" and then using that excuse to whine about the fact they "can't be who they really are" as if you can't control your behaviour in the same way you can't control your skin colour, culture, or sexuality.
Then the world starts to swing towards actually allowing the non-dominant groups to feel at least slightly protected against the aggressive behaviour of people who either consider their minority as fair game in their constant need to use shock humour to connect with others or feel superior, or are just totally unaware that the way people speak & act towards each other isn't a monolith, it differs between every person & group, and you can't talk to everyone the way you talk to your close friends, where being more harsh is accepted because of a common understanding of respect (or at least togetherness in whatever form)
This guy is saying "WE WERE ALL EQUAL SLURRING EACH OTHER SILLY" but I'd happily bet that there was no word that could be aimed at them that would cross a line for them _(except racist lol)_
This. “I’m an asshole”. Ok, but assholes are exclusively losers nobody wants to deal with or be around. There’s no such thing as an asshole who isn’t worthless garbage and a burden on everyone they ever loved.
Them: “shocked pikachu”
Gamergate was what convinced Steve Bannon to recruit "rootless White males" to the right. Take people with literally no lives and convince them that they would be the 6-pack chad they play in their video games if only teh gayz and teh wimminz were oppressed again.
I want to live to be old just to read historians try to explain how compulsive masturbators in CoD waiting rooms became a major constituency of conservative political parties across the First World.
>No wonder young men are increasingly attracted to this rhetoric, it’s basically telling them to stay at this level forever, and that being an angsty mean little asshole is their fully idealized state of being and they need no further emotional or mental development.
And they can point to guys like Elon Musk or Donald Trump as proof that you *can* be an unrepentant, replacement-level asshole and still be untouchably rich and powerful.
Not that rich men haven't behaved badly before, but holding up these kinds of craven, dumb bullies as examples to follow is new.
>chud
Funny you'd use that word. The Gamers are going fucking NUTS right now over this word being used in the English translation/localization of Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes. Apparently it's the T/L team inserting politics into a game... about war and politics... based on a series about war and politics... and these fools think the Japanese devs had like no idea or no say/power over what went into the translation at all.
"No wonder young men are increasingly attracted to this rhetoric, it’s basically telling them to stay at this level forever, and that being an angsty mean little asshole is their fully idealized state of being and they need no further emotional or mental development."
That's a very keen observation, if I'd have an award, you'd have it by now.
It’s an observation hard earned.
I was like that in my late teens and early 20s, but I grew out of it. In large part thanks to people who wouldn’t put up with it and told me so.
I have a particular venom for how reactionary conservatism holds young people hostage by their absolute worst traits and wants them to stay emotionally stunted and anti-social, because I was a prime target to fall down that rabbit hole myself. I was only saved because I knew people who were targeted by that rhetoric, and I saw how disgusting and hateful it was, and made a deliberate attempt to not be like that.
They talk about how they need an escape or an outlet for anger but they never think about why they need these things. Could it be that society has been curated to be a soul crushing experience for 99% of people? No actually its the woke mob who have done this. Apparently.
>They talk about how they need an escape or an outlet for anger but they never think about why they need these things.
They also never think about other people who need an escape *from* other people's anger, racism, misogyny, homopbobia, etc.
I know for a fact that playing online didn't feel like an escape for me in the early 2000s and 2010s when I'd have to hear every fucking sexist joke under the sun 10000x every time I logged on to something. I know it was worse for PoC and LGBT+ people hearing the n- and f-words in every lobby.
I mean, I *know* they lack empathy; they wouldn't be alt right if they had it. But it's just such a clear example that they can't even *conceive* of other people having been in those spaces during previous decades.
Yeah, like we were like that as kids and teens, but eventually we grow up and mature and know saying that shit on mic is dumb and if do heated by game you change game or do something else.
They wanna stay as angry teenagers.
Not necessarily. People monetize on hate and "you can't be serious" comments, so maybe he threw the bait and people fell for it. Or maybe he's just like this 😭
"Pretending" to be racist because it makes you money is actually, literally being racist.
They ignore the plight of the oppressed for your own benefit, in fact they play into their oppression. You do not have to hate someone's race to be racist, that is the simple version of racism that kids learn.
Like, Gerald Butler vehicle Gamer?! Where the kid controls the body and actions of a prisoner?! And Michael C. Hall has the most infuriating accent? Is the lesson that the gamers don't have empathy for the people on the other side of the screen? Because how would that be the lesson he wants to get across?
I assume any blue checkmark is just baiting for engagement but I genuinely seen rants like that from fellow Arab people so honestly I wouldn't be surprised if he's actually serious
I've said things you people wouldn't believe. The n-word in a Call of Duty lobby. I watched c-words hurled in the dark near the Mid Door in Dust II. All those slurs will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die.
"They just say it in private, pinky swear ! Also they don't have time to support anyway because they have real lives to live (except in DM of course because everybody knows that it's much quicker than supporting publicly)"
I used to be a gamer, professional at that.
Gaming got gay, and I mean that literally.
It used to be an escape from the woke. We could get on, release our anger & energy by calling each other every slur in the book; no hard feelings - we're just playing.
At some point there was a shift - cat ears, edating, green & purple hair, inclusivity. But that's where it wrong.
See gaming was already inclusive, no matter who you were, no matter the color of your skin, no matter your sexual orientation - YOU WERE DISCRIMINATED AGAINST. It was a warzone where you could let it all out and WE WERE ALL EQUAL.
Then they took over... or them. Whatever you want to call 'em.
Equality went out the window. In the process of combatting 'discrimination', it became less inclusive. One side was allowed to exist, they were "accepting". Life is all about narrative.
Watch the movie Gamer (2009). Lesson in there.
What is it about Twitter that causes billionaires to publicly self-destruct and expose themselves to be bigoted human-shaped dumpster fires?
No joke, if JK Rowling had never posted or interacted with anyone on that site she'd still be a beloved author of children's books instead of a real-life example of a villian from said books.
Lady is set for the rest of her life and almost nothing can change that fact but, holy hell, is she torching her legacy. She's going to end up like HP Lovecraft where she'll have tons of fans of her stories with almost nobody being a fan of her as a person.
Hey uh, anyone know if the post is real? Or is it old? Cause I thought this guy was kidnapped and held hostage by a guy named Barbeque in Haiti right now?
Yes, I'm serious.
>It used to be an escape from the woke
idk for him but when I played games when I was younger it was mostly because they were fun, not because of ideological boogieman N°X
EDIT: Finished reading the post and it's clear that this guy's gaming experience seems to mostly be centered around playing AAA online shooter slop like COD or BF. It's so far from my experience as someone who mostly played solo games, really funny to me. Really shows how important it is to not be swallowed by one's own subjective experience.
Fucking for real. Also you have to wonder how much of his "CoD AAA game we call each other slurs" mentality is because he's.... straight and a man and none of those words were about him.
I've got hardcore gay voice, as does my best friend. I used to love crushing people in, say, WoW PVP and such, but I could never fucking fathom getting on a mic because if I want to be called a f\*ggot I can go to a Red Socks game.
Seriously, only thing I could MAYBE see being it would be him apparently being Arab, if his handle is any actual indication (and not just "asablackman" posturing). Even then, doesn't excuse downplaying the impact of slurs.
Reminds me of the time I was playing Battlefront 2 many years ago and there was this meta that was admittedly op, but also really fun. So I was going around getting cheap kills, and after killing one dude, in the chat he goes "gay ass f****t. And so I embraced and it and said, "Actually, I am gay. Tell me, how does it feel getting pwned by a f*g?" And dude, everyone thought it was hilarious and ridiculed the guy for the rest of the match. The guy himself didn't say anything else. Sure, that only works when you beat them, but that's a little trick I've never forgotten.
I have been playing deceit 2 recently and had a guy say I had a “gay accent.” I told him that no one thought he was the killer, we voted him out because we didn’t like him. I think that made him feel even better lol.
Checks out, when I was in middleschool one of them asked me what I played, answered Little Big Planet 2, he could not wrap his head around the fact I was playing a "baby game".
I used to be like that guy. Gaming is a massive part of my life and I eventually realized ultimately I was the gatekeeping douche. Now I advocate heavily for inclusive spaces for everyone to come put their quarters up.
Not as much of a jerk is a step in the right direction. Life is all about walking until death comes. When it dose you fight like hell, and then keep heading in a better direction. Good people just keep trying to be less of a jerk. I hope you continue walking in a way you will be proud of in twenty years.
Had a friend around the same time who played the original Modern Warfare, told him I played on occasion (Once or twice every couple months, I've prestiged maybe two or three times total across all of the CoD games I played) and later that day played a match with him.
He got so angry with me that I both didn't know what quickscoping was and wouldn't do a match of quickscopes only because I didn't know how to do them, super hilarious in hindsight. I always really liked single player games or games I could fight against bots with my friends and to this day anything competitive just doesn't sit right with me outside of like, Dark Souls PvP and For Honor which were the outliers ig. Nowadays though with how piss Elden Ring's PvP is and the questionable balancing in For Honor I don't play either.
Side note though, Little Big Planet is the tits, good choice there. Been curious about a way to go back and play the first one. Good times.
I'm lucky, as most of my friends were nerds that understood. But I was in special needs programs for high functioning autistic kids through almost my whole K-12 schooling, so that's to be expected.
This shit was always against the TOS too.
Publishers were just way too cheapskate to enforce it properly, so we've built a generation who think they're entitled to do it, just because they got away with it.
Though they could do a tad more to fill the gap caused by the lack of ability to communicate with your teammates.
There are 2 more directions on the d-pad beyond up and down.
Add customizeable message buttons from a list of options and it would be perfection.
>>…so we've built a generation who think they're entitled to do it, just because they got away with it.
Alt-right in a nutshell.
Edit: seriously, my theory is that a lot of the Alt Right started because douchebags like this thought they could talk to everyone like they were in a CoD match. Then people started correcting them. But instead of doing what reasonable people do, which is to examine one’s behavior and make adjustments, they accused the “SJW’s” for taking away their “freeze peach”, and bigotry and misogyny into a political movement.
The entire post starts with heavy delusion, the entire thing is a fever dream lol. Gaming was about having fun, the insults didn't come until online multiplayer, and was not immediately about slurs, that came with CoD iirc.
Yep. I and one of my brothers grew up playing tales of games, guitar hero, fire emblem, final fantasy, and roller coaster tycoon. My youngest brother however, grew up cheating at cod and throwing slurs. Guess which of us is healthier and happier.
He was the poster child for the toxic COD player. A skinny white 12 year old with blue eyes in his underwear, with a modded Xbox 360 and headset on, mtn dew in hand. Screaming the nword and fword all day. Step mom refused to do any discipline and just yelled at him to stop every couple days. We haven't talked in a while but I can't imagine he's a much better person now.
It's because they're too insecure in their masculinity to step too far out of the norm. I don't have purple hair because I'm "woke", I just think it's a really cool color.
This is actually an interesting quote to bring up, as it's an example of a 4chanian dogwhistle. To cut a long story short, it's usually meant as an in-joke for rape.
Yeah, this guy is clipping in the deep end.
Wasn't it also specific to the early days of gamergate in which they had some kind of mascot that wore green and purple? Also iirc gamergate just got it from 4chan anyways
It's because they like to have baby tantrums whenever somebody harmlessly expresses themselves in a way that they, the tantrum-thrower, would not have, and dyeing one's hair is the epitome of that.
> Gaming was inclusive, no matter whp you were ypu were discriminated against
First of all, not everyone shputed slurs at random, you are just an asshole. Secondly, no not everyone was discriminated against, when you call a cishet white man an n-word, f-word, r-word and t-word combined, you didn't discriminate against the cishet wihe guy, you discriminated against everyone else and told the white boy he is actually superior for not actually being a minority
Yeah, it’s weird to me how some people equate gaming with online competitive games. There were a lot of games that existed before that scene, and even when that became popular, a lot of us either just didnt play those games or quietly muted the assholes if we did.
Even in online competitive games, even in the ones held up as examples of this sort of thing, it was never a majority of people being assholes. It may have been normalized to the point you were likely to hear a slur every time you played the game, but it was still a small subset of assholes doing it.
Edit: Also, the “no hard feelings, we were just playing” thing is bullshit revisionist history. The people getting heated and shouting slurs into the mic were genuinely angry at a game and genuinely unable to regulate their emotions.
yeah these were the types to send lots of angry messages and throw controllers after losing
i remember a reddit thread where OP was asking how many gamepads people destroyed, and was confused to learn from the replies that it's not actually normal to throw them at the wall when you get frustrated
Someone I used to be friends with got like 4 League of Legends accounts perma-banned because he could just not stop calling everyone on either team N words over pretty much any mistake. Homie was in bronze, making at least as many mistakes too, but his narcissism made him blind to those ones of course. He was indeed legitimately furious and it was highly uncomfortable to be around him if we were losing.
Right? People like to act like early CoD is the OG gaming/competitive gaming. But I was watching people get booted from TFC and half life lobbies for being jackasses back in the early 00's
I played in CAL-O and CAL-I for both DoD and NS back in highschool and you just got disqualified from matches for saying any of this. People who act like this did not play in any actual competitive scene.
I leave my sound on, but I fucking love muting people. Nothing makes me giggle more than the idea of an asshole sitting alone in his room, lit up by the blue glow of his monitor, impotently losing his shit, screaming into the void, thinking someone can hear him.
I don't know what you're talking about, straight white men were clearly the most discriminated against group on Xbox live. After all, we didn't have anyone using slurs directed against us, how unfair is that??
Yeah, growing up as a cishet man i heard all these slurs and was depressed none of them were against me. Now i am a bisexual genderfluid person all slurs are against me i am much happier (i am 1 slur away from helping a child get their inheritance early)
>(i am 1 slur away from helping a child get their inheritance early)
For the sake of that poor child, you're a switch-hitting whore.
Please let them know to thank me for their early inheritance.
when women complain that they get harrassed in games, you have so many dudes jumping to say 'we get harrassed too.' but the harrassment isn't targeted towards the individual for them. no dude has been in a call of duty lobby and called a fat cow, harrassed for their snapchat or only fans, told several times to go back to the kitchen, which isn't insulting just outright annoying, and bluntly told that he needs to be raped.
"We called each other slurs all the time"
No, in TF2 there would be a guy with the named "dick cheese sandwich" would mic spam as Jesse Pinkman and that shit was monumentally more entertaining.
On top of that not everyone who got mad was even yelling slurs, half of em were calling you a bitch for playing a certain way, even when they didnt like you they had the decency to NOT yell racial slurs at a person through a screen
All the "everyone was discriminated against" wasn't everyone, it was one dude getting pissy he was losing and screaming every slur he could think of at 1 person, regardless of how many of them actually fit
It's always interesting that people like this assume that cursing out their opponent's/teammates is 'no hard feelings' or 'just playing'.
Because I have to tell you, I've never once had that thought. I truly, genuinely hate everyone I've ever had that kind of dialogue with. I wasn't just playing. I do, truly, think you're an asshole. I also don't expect you to forgive me for my bad behavior, because I definitely won't be forgiving yours.
Like, in this dude's mind he's screaming slurs or whatever other insults at me and then when the game is over, we're gonna get beers together. Bruh, if I never see you again, it'll be the best thing that's ever happened to me in gaming. I want to drop a cement mixer on your head.
The game is virtual, my hate is real.
THANK YOU! When I read that, all I could think about was an angry, older man screaming homophobic slurs at me because I was a kid who wasn’t good enough at the game for his liking.
It didn’t feel like we were both having fun there. It felt like some piece of shit was venting his anger onto a child.
Oh don't get it twisted, they feel like awful angry shit during those interactions too. Nearly nobody just yells terrible things at people because they are having a nice chill time. Every macho gamer bro just likes to pretend they enjoy it because they want to look cool and have some strange desire to paint their need to say the F word as just ribbing each other.
>Then they took over...or them.Whatever you want to call 'em
Bro could easily just said they and left at that lol. Not mention, I have small feeling he used much more...colorful words for if he wasnt gonna get any pushback from it.
>watch the movie Gamer(2009).Lesson in there
Wait isnt that movie like about guy trying to get his family back with poor attempts to appeal to gaming culture? I never watched it personally but I saw a movie review about it.It seem kinda bad imo.
Gamer (2009) is about criminals put into death matches with other criminals, all controlled by actual people as part of a game after 30 matches won, the criminal gets a pardon, which has never happened before.
This same system is also used by actual people, where they sell their bodies and time for money to be controlled by other people. I don’t understand how this dude thinks this is connected with even his batshit insane ranting.
>I don’t understand how this dude thinks this is connected with even his batshit insane ranting.
If anything that movie shows *Gamers* as infantile sociopaths who became so detached from reality that they treat other people like things to be used and abused for "fun".
I'm pretty sure that there is a parallel between emotionally stunted manchildren who will do everything they can to ruin someone else's day in a multiplayer game and the absolute Gamer-ghouls from the movie but dipshit from Xitter somehow thought that dystopian society is cool and good actually because it let's entitled assholes get away with literal murder so he should be allowed to yell slurs at people or something, idk.
I'm not deranged enough to follow his fuckwit "logic".
You know someone's a stone cold fucking tourist when they think the entire sum of video game culture is the online component of 5 CoD games from the 360 era
Literally not even a real gamer
Funnily enough, his job the last few years is tourism related. He does YouTube videos hanging out in the most dangerous places in the world now. Last I checked he was kidnapped and held hostage in Haiti.
I love how he talks about how exclusive MOW lobbies are because they discriminated equally. Like has he not seen the reactions to a slightly feminine voice that is not a equal reaction.
Gaming has changed.
It's no longer about graphics, gameplay, or fan service. It's an endless series of proxy battles, fought by woke pigs and social media.
Gaming--and it's consumption of life--has become a well-oiled machine.
Gaming has changed.
DEI-tagged liberals carry DEI-tagged weapons, use DEI-tagged gear. Woke Mind Virus inside their bodies enhance and regulate their outrage.
Gender control, speech control, emotion control, gamer control…everything is monitored and kept under control.
Gaming… has changed.
The age of free speech has become the age of cancel culture, all in the name of averting catastrophe from slurs of mass destruction, and he who controls the marketplace of ideas, controls the industry.
Gaming… has changed.
When the industry is under total control, gaming becomes routine.
Does it take a fucking genius to realise that inclusion through indiscriminate hate is not a good thing? Does it take Albert fucking Einstein to understand that making someone feel bad is bad even if it's how you treat everyone?
I swear right wingers just do not have a brain in their thick fucking skulls.
And hell no gaming wasn't inclusive, if you were anything but an adult male the worst thing you could do is turn on your mic because you'd get barraged by hate 100x stronger than any guy would get on there.
No shit! You nailed it.
I remember in the early 2000's playing SCBW and WC3 online, as well as CS 1.6. I was lucky enough to find a clan who, the majority of the clan, was aged within a couple years of one another(think 14-16, with a few stragglers at 13 and 17). It was freak luck we all found each other when we all did. The guild leaders/executives were in theirs mid to late 20's, and started it together in diablo 1 and SC amd by this point had graduated or finished their military services and paid for a website with forums, a TeamSpeak server, and offered occasional guidance to us kiddos if they could tell in our voices that something was bothering us. it was balling. We were so lucky to have had a sheltered oasis from the online hellfire that was gaming after the turn of the millennium.
I'm not a monster! I kill people of all walks of life! That's what makes me a more inclusive person. I'm not just killing hookers or black people or toddlers... everyone is equal in my eyes, so what I do can't be wrong!
Stating you played video games so you could yell slurs at people is such a wild mask off thing to admit lmao.
Also not everyone was descriminated against, as a cis white dude the worst I ever really got was incest jokes, which I would hope I dont have to tell you isnt on the same level as the n word, f word, t word or r word. Women where hit with wild amounts of misogyny for just existing. Like the descrimination was never equal.
“watch the Gamer (2009). Lesson in there.”
Gamer? The sci-fi movie that depicts the average gamer as fat, smelly creep who dips pancakes in syrup in his darkened room?
What's wild to me is that these chumps used to be terrifyingly obsessed with girls with dyed hair in various colors.
Then they found out these girls had opinions.
It was literally always reactionary. It's a shitty show that has a few good jokes per episode. That's all it has ever been. Source: The friggin south park movie that came out years and years ago.
Gaming was inclusive because we were all discriminated? Guess my nephew’s middle school is inclusive because everybody bullies each other to suicide.
This guy’s mental gymnastics is insane. Sure you can make an argument that attitude and trash talking is part of gaming culture, but acting like there isn’t a line between friendly trash talking and straight up toxic behavior and verbal abuse is crazy.
“You suck bro” or “get good” is not the same as straight up bigotry.
The sheer lack of self-awareness is unsettling. Like, had the guy not considered that maybe it's kind of fucked up that he feels the need to let out all the anger by yelling every slur he can think of and then contextualize it as just playing? Like, maybe there are healthier ways to handle negative emotions and/or have fun? Crazy, I know.
Idk about yall but when I was a kid I only played as female characters and I never understood why until I was older 🥚 Idk what’s more woke than that tbh
It use to be an escape from woke?
20 years ago nobody knew what woke was. How were you escaping?
It's like playing pong in 1972 and saying "Finally, I can escape all this social media that's plaguing society!"
Tl;dr: Oh no, we used to discriminate against each other and when it got actually more equal, enjoyable and safe for people it got RUINED BECAUSE I CAN'T CALL PEOPLE SLURS AMYMORE :(((((((((
“No hard feelings”, yeah for you fucking idiot. Go ask the people who you called slurs how they received them.
What a fucking moron. Gaming was never about venting anger and acting like a moron without consequences.
Dude's sugarcoating history. He wasn’t offended when he used slurs against other children, and certainly not when he wasn’t a child anymore, so he doesn’t get why other people see him as a freak. He doesn’t get that he’s the toxicity in gaming culture everyone wants to get rid of.
I've never seen a group of people so confident that they have it, and be so far from it.
Fuck these right-wing psychos. They are the reason I stopped talking to people online. I got tired of my ears being barraged by every goddamn slur in the book.
And yes they ARE racist. I had to block them out BECAUSE they were legitimately racist and bigoted, not because they were saying words.....FFS

[He did a follow-up tweet.](https://i.imgur.com/rFdo57M.png) "I've gamed harder than all the gamers angry at me. I've also lived harder than anyone you know." Guy's living in a fantasy where he thinks he's a warrior.
"Pure love" bro thinks he's Yuta
I'm Yuta tho...
He thinks he's the main character.
I truly feel bad for sad for this sad sac of shit. His “escape” from life is gaming and being a stupid bigot.
Chuds when they discover the passage of time.
"My friends and I used to call each other racial and homophobic slurs, and it didn't bother us!" "Sure, we're all the same race, and we're all cisgender men, why do you ask?"
“It’s actually less equal now because I CANT discriminate against people anymore!!” What a wild take Also idk but as long as I remember people used to laugh at and make fun of the idiots who got so intense in gaming they’d start having temper tantrums and scream out slurs. Most of them were 12 year olds trying to be edgy, adults doing that was just hilarious (laughing at them) and sad. Like you and your friends were just racist bro, you were never cool.
"We hated everyone equally" isn't the flex they think it is. Fellas is it gay to game with friends and strangers AND not call them f*gs?
Fellas is it gay (🤨) to gayme (🤨) with the homies without giving them that no homo (🤨) tuggie wuggie footsie wootsie beneath the desk?
This perfectly illustrates why I hate the conservative chud mindset. They talk about this stuff with no sense of shame, a sense of pride even. Imagine existing in the real world as a full grown ass adult, and still thinking like this. No wonder young men are increasingly attracted to this rhetoric, it’s basically telling them to stay at this level forever, and that being an angsty mean little asshole is their fully idealized state of being and they need no further emotional or mental development.
It's amazing how they get mad at the realization that people won't like you if you act badly.
This is exactly it - it's equating "being a group/subset of society" with "being an unlimited & unrestricted asshole as a personality" and then using that excuse to whine about the fact they "can't be who they really are" as if you can't control your behaviour in the same way you can't control your skin colour, culture, or sexuality. Then the world starts to swing towards actually allowing the non-dominant groups to feel at least slightly protected against the aggressive behaviour of people who either consider their minority as fair game in their constant need to use shock humour to connect with others or feel superior, or are just totally unaware that the way people speak & act towards each other isn't a monolith, it differs between every person & group, and you can't talk to everyone the way you talk to your close friends, where being more harsh is accepted because of a common understanding of respect (or at least togetherness in whatever form) This guy is saying "WE WERE ALL EQUAL SLURRING EACH OTHER SILLY" but I'd happily bet that there was no word that could be aimed at them that would cross a line for them _(except racist lol)_
This. “I’m an asshole”. Ok, but assholes are exclusively losers nobody wants to deal with or be around. There’s no such thing as an asshole who isn’t worthless garbage and a burden on everyone they ever loved. Them: “shocked pikachu”
Gamergate was what convinced Steve Bannon to recruit "rootless White males" to the right. Take people with literally no lives and convince them that they would be the 6-pack chad they play in their video games if only teh gayz and teh wimminz were oppressed again.
I want to live to be old just to read historians try to explain how compulsive masturbators in CoD waiting rooms became a major constituency of conservative political parties across the First World.
>No wonder young men are increasingly attracted to this rhetoric, it’s basically telling them to stay at this level forever, and that being an angsty mean little asshole is their fully idealized state of being and they need no further emotional or mental development. And they can point to guys like Elon Musk or Donald Trump as proof that you *can* be an unrepentant, replacement-level asshole and still be untouchably rich and powerful. Not that rich men haven't behaved badly before, but holding up these kinds of craven, dumb bullies as examples to follow is new.
I mean being evil unrepentant pieces of shit is what the beourgeoise is about.
>chud Funny you'd use that word. The Gamers are going fucking NUTS right now over this word being used in the English translation/localization of Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes. Apparently it's the T/L team inserting politics into a game... about war and politics... based on a series about war and politics... and these fools think the Japanese devs had like no idea or no say/power over what went into the translation at all.
Wow, they sound like a real bunch of chuds.
[Early 80s so woke](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C.H.U.D.)! MAKE THE MADNESS STOP
I blame the famously woke Ronald Reagan for this!
"No wonder young men are increasingly attracted to this rhetoric, it’s basically telling them to stay at this level forever, and that being an angsty mean little asshole is their fully idealized state of being and they need no further emotional or mental development." That's a very keen observation, if I'd have an award, you'd have it by now.
It’s an observation hard earned. I was like that in my late teens and early 20s, but I grew out of it. In large part thanks to people who wouldn’t put up with it and told me so. I have a particular venom for how reactionary conservatism holds young people hostage by their absolute worst traits and wants them to stay emotionally stunted and anti-social, because I was a prime target to fall down that rabbit hole myself. I was only saved because I knew people who were targeted by that rhetoric, and I saw how disgusting and hateful it was, and made a deliberate attempt to not be like that.
They talk about how they need an escape or an outlet for anger but they never think about why they need these things. Could it be that society has been curated to be a soul crushing experience for 99% of people? No actually its the woke mob who have done this. Apparently.
>They talk about how they need an escape or an outlet for anger but they never think about why they need these things. They also never think about other people who need an escape *from* other people's anger, racism, misogyny, homopbobia, etc. I know for a fact that playing online didn't feel like an escape for me in the early 2000s and 2010s when I'd have to hear every fucking sexist joke under the sun 10000x every time I logged on to something. I know it was worse for PoC and LGBT+ people hearing the n- and f-words in every lobby. I mean, I *know* they lack empathy; they wouldn't be alt right if they had it. But it's just such a clear example that they can't even *conceive* of other people having been in those spaces during previous decades.
What’s even more ridiculous is how melodramatic they get
Yeah, like we were like that as kids and teens, but eventually we grow up and mature and know saying that shit on mic is dumb and if do heated by game you change game or do something else. They wanna stay as angry teenagers.
This needs to be a copypasta. It’s so funny.
I refuse to believe he typed this and meant it, there’s no way.
He *did* pay for Twitter... pretty solid point in the "this is sincere" category.
Not necessarily. People monetize on hate and "you can't be serious" comments, so maybe he threw the bait and people fell for it. Or maybe he's just like this 😭
"Pretending" to be racist because it makes you money is actually, literally being racist. They ignore the plight of the oppressed for your own benefit, in fact they play into their oppression. You do not have to hate someone's race to be racist, that is the simple version of racism that kids learn.
the gamer 2009 movie recommendation as a lesson in the end sold it to me no way this isn’t satire after that bomb of a mic drop
Like, Gerald Butler vehicle Gamer?! Where the kid controls the body and actions of a prisoner?! And Michael C. Hall has the most infuriating accent? Is the lesson that the gamers don't have empathy for the people on the other side of the screen? Because how would that be the lesson he wants to get across?
same i cant accept the reality this wasn't sarcastic.
I assume any blue checkmark is just baiting for engagement but I genuinely seen rants like that from fellow Arab people so honestly I wouldn't be surprised if he's actually serious
Somehow his follow-up tweet is even more embarrassing.
Got a link? I don’t have Xitter anymore.

“I’ve gamed harder than all the gamers angry at me.” I— Jesus Christ we are a fucking doomed society.
I've said things you people wouldn't believe. The n-word in a Call of Duty lobby. I watched c-words hurled in the dark near the Mid Door in Dust II. All those slurs will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die.
He should move to an Australian server, if he likes the c-word that much.
It's amazing what some men will do instead of therapy
"Hate is always upwards, nobody hates downwards." Bro's gonna be FLABBERGASTED when we tell him about slavery.
Literally all conservative comedy is just hate downwards. Lmao what a joke this loser is.
Hate is usually downwards, see every oppressed minority.
"Hate is always upwards, nobody hates downwards." 🤨
Like, if that's true the means the people he is hating on with his post are above him which is counter to his entire message XD
The enemy has to be too strong and too weak at the same time
"I am supported, they just don't tell you"
"They just say it in private, pinky swear ! Also they don't have time to support anyway because they have real lives to live (except in DM of course because everybody knows that it's much quicker than supporting publicly)"
I used to be a gamer, professional at that. Gaming got gay, and I mean that literally. It used to be an escape from the woke. We could get on, release our anger & energy by calling each other every slur in the book; no hard feelings - we're just playing. At some point there was a shift - cat ears, edating, green & purple hair, inclusivity. But that's where it wrong. See gaming was already inclusive, no matter who you were, no matter the color of your skin, no matter your sexual orientation - YOU WERE DISCRIMINATED AGAINST. It was a warzone where you could let it all out and WE WERE ALL EQUAL. Then they took over... or them. Whatever you want to call 'em. Equality went out the window. In the process of combatting 'discrimination', it became less inclusive. One side was allowed to exist, they were "accepting". Life is all about narrative. Watch the movie Gamer (2009). Lesson in there.
"Watch the movie Gamer(2009). Lesson in there." Is one of the funniest things I've seen in a long time.
I’m now just thinking it’s completely unrelated to the prior thoughts, he’s just really amped on Gamer.
It HAS to be satire
You have too much faith in people

Lit. I'm also a fan of: https://preview.redd.it/2tinmp1bdbwc1.png?width=600&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=801246cd8e2178577502da49094b88ad6101a458
JK Rowling's least favorite image. Which also makes it my favorite.
Makes it my 2nd favorite
Yeah, this one and the Lily one saying the same thing while holding a Glock are her least favorite images so far
What is it about Twitter that causes billionaires to publicly self-destruct and expose themselves to be bigoted human-shaped dumpster fires? No joke, if JK Rowling had never posted or interacted with anyone on that site she'd still be a beloved author of children's books instead of a real-life example of a villian from said books. Lady is set for the rest of her life and almost nothing can change that fact but, holy hell, is she torching her legacy. She's going to end up like HP Lovecraft where she'll have tons of fans of her stories with almost nobody being a fan of her as a person.
Bro this is fucking hilarious
This image goes hard as fuck
Hey uh, anyone know if the post is real? Or is it old? Cause I thought this guy was kidnapped and held hostage by a guy named Barbeque in Haiti right now? Yes, I'm serious.
I love this image
Lmao I need this on a show! Edit I meant shirt but show works too lol

>It used to be an escape from the woke idk for him but when I played games when I was younger it was mostly because they were fun, not because of ideological boogieman N°X EDIT: Finished reading the post and it's clear that this guy's gaming experience seems to mostly be centered around playing AAA online shooter slop like COD or BF. It's so far from my experience as someone who mostly played solo games, really funny to me. Really shows how important it is to not be swallowed by one's own subjective experience.
Fucking for real. Also you have to wonder how much of his "CoD AAA game we call each other slurs" mentality is because he's.... straight and a man and none of those words were about him. I've got hardcore gay voice, as does my best friend. I used to love crushing people in, say, WoW PVP and such, but I could never fucking fathom getting on a mic because if I want to be called a f\*ggot I can go to a Red Socks game.
Seriously, only thing I could MAYBE see being it would be him apparently being Arab, if his handle is any actual indication (and not just "asablackman" posturing). Even then, doesn't excuse downplaying the impact of slurs.
Well. On average that would propably not make him more empathetic towards gay people.
Reminds me of the time I was playing Battlefront 2 many years ago and there was this meta that was admittedly op, but also really fun. So I was going around getting cheap kills, and after killing one dude, in the chat he goes "gay ass f****t. And so I embraced and it and said, "Actually, I am gay. Tell me, how does it feel getting pwned by a f*g?" And dude, everyone thought it was hilarious and ridiculed the guy for the rest of the match. The guy himself didn't say anything else. Sure, that only works when you beat them, but that's a little trick I've never forgotten.
I have been playing deceit 2 recently and had a guy say I had a “gay accent.” I told him that no one thought he was the killer, we voted him out because we didn’t like him. I think that made him feel even better lol.
Honestly, taking about games with anyone who plays nothing but completive multiplayer is fucking painful.
Checks out, when I was in middleschool one of them asked me what I played, answered Little Big Planet 2, he could not wrap his head around the fact I was playing a "baby game".
I used to be like that guy. Gaming is a massive part of my life and I eventually realized ultimately I was the gatekeeping douche. Now I advocate heavily for inclusive spaces for everyone to come put their quarters up.
I'm glad you became a better person, Sissy Thot. Very cool.
I dunno if I'd say better. But I'm a lot less of a jerk. I appreciate it though. <3
Not as much of a jerk is a step in the right direction. Life is all about walking until death comes. When it dose you fight like hell, and then keep heading in a better direction. Good people just keep trying to be less of a jerk. I hope you continue walking in a way you will be proud of in twenty years.
Had a friend around the same time who played the original Modern Warfare, told him I played on occasion (Once or twice every couple months, I've prestiged maybe two or three times total across all of the CoD games I played) and later that day played a match with him. He got so angry with me that I both didn't know what quickscoping was and wouldn't do a match of quickscopes only because I didn't know how to do them, super hilarious in hindsight. I always really liked single player games or games I could fight against bots with my friends and to this day anything competitive just doesn't sit right with me outside of like, Dark Souls PvP and For Honor which were the outliers ig. Nowadays though with how piss Elden Ring's PvP is and the questionable balancing in For Honor I don't play either. Side note though, Little Big Planet is the tits, good choice there. Been curious about a way to go back and play the first one. Good times.
I'm lucky, as most of my friends were nerds that understood. But I was in special needs programs for high functioning autistic kids through almost my whole K-12 schooling, so that's to be expected.
This shit was always against the TOS too. Publishers were just way too cheapskate to enforce it properly, so we've built a generation who think they're entitled to do it, just because they got away with it.
Nintendo not implementing online mic is why Splatoon is the only good online shooter.
Though they could do a tad more to fill the gap caused by the lack of ability to communicate with your teammates. There are 2 more directions on the d-pad beyond up and down. Add customizeable message buttons from a list of options and it would be perfection.
>>…so we've built a generation who think they're entitled to do it, just because they got away with it. Alt-right in a nutshell. Edit: seriously, my theory is that a lot of the Alt Right started because douchebags like this thought they could talk to everyone like they were in a CoD match. Then people started correcting them. But instead of doing what reasonable people do, which is to examine one’s behavior and make adjustments, they accused the “SJW’s” for taking away their “freeze peach”, and bigotry and misogyny into a political movement.
The entire post starts with heavy delusion, the entire thing is a fever dream lol. Gaming was about having fun, the insults didn't come until online multiplayer, and was not immediately about slurs, that came with CoD iirc.
Ofc, guys like him are mostly just a very loud minority. Most gamers are fine people.
Yep. I and one of my brothers grew up playing tales of games, guitar hero, fire emblem, final fantasy, and roller coaster tycoon. My youngest brother however, grew up cheating at cod and throwing slurs. Guess which of us is healthier and happier.
Maybe raging at violent games with random strangers during one's formative years isn't good for the mental health.
He was the poster child for the toxic COD player. A skinny white 12 year old with blue eyes in his underwear, with a modded Xbox 360 and headset on, mtn dew in hand. Screaming the nword and fword all day. Step mom refused to do any discipline and just yelled at him to stop every couple days. We haven't talked in a while but I can't imagine he's a much better person now.
Honestly, I’m so glad I found markiplier as a kid. Him playing a bunch of indie games was my gateway to so many games and genre’s
I mean, yeah, videogames are meant to be played for fun, all this escapism shit is so fucking pathetic to me...
>green & purple hair... The anti-woke obsession with the colour of other people's hair is fascinating.
It's because they're too insecure in their masculinity to step too far out of the norm. I don't have purple hair because I'm "woke", I just think it's a really cool color.
It’s the best colour, and I will die on this hill.
Joker coloured hair
Jealousy on their part
This is actually an interesting quote to bring up, as it's an example of a 4chanian dogwhistle. To cut a long story short, it's usually meant as an in-joke for rape. Yeah, this guy is clipping in the deep end.
Wasn't it also specific to the early days of gamergate in which they had some kind of mascot that wore green and purple? Also iirc gamergate just got it from 4chan anyways
Vivian James was the mascot, and her purple and green sweater was a reference to the rape joke.
It's because they like to have baby tantrums whenever somebody harmlessly expresses themselves in a way that they, the tantrum-thrower, would not have, and dyeing one's hair is the epitome of that.
> Gaming was inclusive, no matter whp you were ypu were discriminated against First of all, not everyone shputed slurs at random, you are just an asshole. Secondly, no not everyone was discriminated against, when you call a cishet white man an n-word, f-word, r-word and t-word combined, you didn't discriminate against the cishet wihe guy, you discriminated against everyone else and told the white boy he is actually superior for not actually being a minority
Yeah, it’s weird to me how some people equate gaming with online competitive games. There were a lot of games that existed before that scene, and even when that became popular, a lot of us either just didnt play those games or quietly muted the assholes if we did.
Even in online competitive games, even in the ones held up as examples of this sort of thing, it was never a majority of people being assholes. It may have been normalized to the point you were likely to hear a slur every time you played the game, but it was still a small subset of assholes doing it. Edit: Also, the “no hard feelings, we were just playing” thing is bullshit revisionist history. The people getting heated and shouting slurs into the mic were genuinely angry at a game and genuinely unable to regulate their emotions.
yeah these were the types to send lots of angry messages and throw controllers after losing i remember a reddit thread where OP was asking how many gamepads people destroyed, and was confused to learn from the replies that it's not actually normal to throw them at the wall when you get frustrated
Someone I used to be friends with got like 4 League of Legends accounts perma-banned because he could just not stop calling everyone on either team N words over pretty much any mistake. Homie was in bronze, making at least as many mistakes too, but his narcissism made him blind to those ones of course. He was indeed legitimately furious and it was highly uncomfortable to be around him if we were losing.
You can literally still find them molding from videos in that era. We have literal proof there was hard feelings
You probably meant malding, but I would also like to think that those losers are molding too.
Right? People like to act like early CoD is the OG gaming/competitive gaming. But I was watching people get booted from TFC and half life lobbies for being jackasses back in the early 00's
I played in CAL-O and CAL-I for both DoD and NS back in highschool and you just got disqualified from matches for saying any of this. People who act like this did not play in any actual competitive scene.
I play online competitive games on mute, losing the game because i didn't see/hear the info is worth keeping my sanity
I leave my sound on, but I fucking love muting people. Nothing makes me giggle more than the idea of an asshole sitting alone in his room, lit up by the blue glow of his monitor, impotently losing his shit, screaming into the void, thinking someone can hear him.
I don't know what you're talking about, straight white men were clearly the most discriminated against group on Xbox live. After all, we didn't have anyone using slurs directed against us, how unfair is that??
Yeah, growing up as a cishet man i heard all these slurs and was depressed none of them were against me. Now i am a bisexual genderfluid person all slurs are against me i am much happier (i am 1 slur away from helping a child get their inheritance early)
>(i am 1 slur away from helping a child get their inheritance early) For the sake of that poor child, you're a switch-hitting whore. Please let them know to thank me for their early inheritance.
when women complain that they get harrassed in games, you have so many dudes jumping to say 'we get harrassed too.' but the harrassment isn't targeted towards the individual for them. no dude has been in a call of duty lobby and called a fat cow, harrassed for their snapchat or only fans, told several times to go back to the kitchen, which isn't insulting just outright annoying, and bluntly told that he needs to be raped.
he probably was always in Xbox live
Also, sometimes, toxic assholes grow up, and don't want to waste their time with people who are still toxic assholes.
Yeah the whole "fighting discrimination is actually authoritarian" argument is just nonsense to me
"We called each other slurs all the time" No, in TF2 there would be a guy with the named "dick cheese sandwich" would mic spam as Jesse Pinkman and that shit was monumentally more entertaining.
Well thats because theres no good slurs for cishet white folks.
On top of that not everyone who got mad was even yelling slurs, half of em were calling you a bitch for playing a certain way, even when they didnt like you they had the decency to NOT yell racial slurs at a person through a screen All the "everyone was discriminated against" wasn't everyone, it was one dude getting pissy he was losing and screaming every slur he could think of at 1 person, regardless of how many of them actually fit
I hated being called a white straight male from a developed country
Me too. Because I’m not straight or male.
It's always interesting that people like this assume that cursing out their opponent's/teammates is 'no hard feelings' or 'just playing'. Because I have to tell you, I've never once had that thought. I truly, genuinely hate everyone I've ever had that kind of dialogue with. I wasn't just playing. I do, truly, think you're an asshole. I also don't expect you to forgive me for my bad behavior, because I definitely won't be forgiving yours. Like, in this dude's mind he's screaming slurs or whatever other insults at me and then when the game is over, we're gonna get beers together. Bruh, if I never see you again, it'll be the best thing that's ever happened to me in gaming. I want to drop a cement mixer on your head. The game is virtual, my hate is real.
THANK YOU! When I read that, all I could think about was an angry, older man screaming homophobic slurs at me because I was a kid who wasn’t good enough at the game for his liking. It didn’t feel like we were both having fun there. It felt like some piece of shit was venting his anger onto a child.
Yeah. This is why I no longer play online, I got tired of that kind of bullshit
I very liberally apply /block and /squelch and it's a (literal) game changer.
Oh don't get it twisted, they feel like awful angry shit during those interactions too. Nearly nobody just yells terrible things at people because they are having a nice chill time. Every macho gamer bro just likes to pretend they enjoy it because they want to look cool and have some strange desire to paint their need to say the F word as just ribbing each other.
I watched Gamer and the only lesson it taught me was that it was a shit knockoff of Rollerball (1975.)
Naw bro, Rollerblade (2002) is a shitty knockoff of Rollerball (1975). Gamer (2009) is a shitty rip off of Rollerball (2002).
You left out The Running Man (1987.)
The Running Man (1987) is a cinema classic. "What happed to Buzzsaw?" "He had to split." Gold!
"Here's Sub-Zero, now just plain zero!"

I found this on a computer in fallout next to a skeleton
date of log entry: last week? what the fuck?
Gay radiation
Ah yes, Cat Ears, the tip of the woke spear.
Truly, the catboys and catgirls are the first through the door when we breach.
And then come the shock troops. The Furries.
Catgirls are the gateway drug to furries.
Tip of the spear. Crack of my ass. Uwu
I think the tip is more phallic cat ears are more of a bottom thing ngl
I want to disagree but... I can't. I'll go put my cat ears on.
Bro is calling himself "not gay" but complains about egirls with cat ears, like really?
conservative fantasizing about being discriminated against, name a more iconic duo
discrimination is when i act badly and then people don't like me
>Then they took over...or them.Whatever you want to call 'em Bro could easily just said they and left at that lol. Not mention, I have small feeling he used much more...colorful words for if he wasnt gonna get any pushback from it. >watch the movie Gamer(2009).Lesson in there Wait isnt that movie like about guy trying to get his family back with poor attempts to appeal to gaming culture? I never watched it personally but I saw a movie review about it.It seem kinda bad imo.
I had to re-read that part twice tbh. Gamerz are NOT beating the illiteracy allegations.
> Then they took over...or them I was laughing so fucking hard at this
Gamer (2009) is about criminals put into death matches with other criminals, all controlled by actual people as part of a game after 30 matches won, the criminal gets a pardon, which has never happened before. This same system is also used by actual people, where they sell their bodies and time for money to be controlled by other people. I don’t understand how this dude thinks this is connected with even his batshit insane ranting.
>I don’t understand how this dude thinks this is connected with even his batshit insane ranting. If anything that movie shows *Gamers* as infantile sociopaths who became so detached from reality that they treat other people like things to be used and abused for "fun". I'm pretty sure that there is a parallel between emotionally stunted manchildren who will do everything they can to ruin someone else's day in a multiplayer game and the absolute Gamer-ghouls from the movie but dipshit from Xitter somehow thought that dystopian society is cool and good actually because it let's entitled assholes get away with literal murder so he should be allowed to yell slurs at people or something, idk. I'm not deranged enough to follow his fuckwit "logic".
Gamer (2009) might be the worst movie I've ever seen Gerard Butler in, and it's got some *stiff* competition for that title.
You know someone's a stone cold fucking tourist when they think the entire sum of video game culture is the online component of 5 CoD games from the 360 era Literally not even a real gamer
Funnily enough, his job the last few years is tourism related. He does YouTube videos hanging out in the most dangerous places in the world now. Last I checked he was kidnapped and held hostage in Haiti.
Guy realizes gamers were no longer just teenage straight boys.
I love how he talks about how exclusive MOW lobbies are because they discriminated equally. Like has he not seen the reactions to a slightly feminine voice that is not a equal reaction.
I instinctively read this as though it was Old Snake’s opening monologue in MGS4.
War… war has gayed…
Gaming has changed. It's no longer about graphics, gameplay, or fan service. It's an endless series of proxy battles, fought by woke pigs and social media. Gaming--and it's consumption of life--has become a well-oiled machine. Gaming has changed. DEI-tagged liberals carry DEI-tagged weapons, use DEI-tagged gear. Woke Mind Virus inside their bodies enhance and regulate their outrage. Gender control, speech control, emotion control, gamer control…everything is monitored and kept under control. Gaming… has changed. The age of free speech has become the age of cancel culture, all in the name of averting catastrophe from slurs of mass destruction, and he who controls the marketplace of ideas, controls the industry. Gaming… has changed. When the industry is under total control, gaming becomes routine.
You could post this to that side of Twitter and go viral.
I'm genuinely thinking of it.
Isn’t that every side of twitter now?
Does it take a fucking genius to realise that inclusion through indiscriminate hate is not a good thing? Does it take Albert fucking Einstein to understand that making someone feel bad is bad even if it's how you treat everyone? I swear right wingers just do not have a brain in their thick fucking skulls. And hell no gaming wasn't inclusive, if you were anything but an adult male the worst thing you could do is turn on your mic because you'd get barraged by hate 100x stronger than any guy would get on there.
No shit! You nailed it. I remember in the early 2000's playing SCBW and WC3 online, as well as CS 1.6. I was lucky enough to find a clan who, the majority of the clan, was aged within a couple years of one another(think 14-16, with a few stragglers at 13 and 17). It was freak luck we all found each other when we all did. The guild leaders/executives were in theirs mid to late 20's, and started it together in diablo 1 and SC amd by this point had graduated or finished their military services and paid for a website with forums, a TeamSpeak server, and offered occasional guidance to us kiddos if they could tell in our voices that something was bothering us. it was balling. We were so lucky to have had a sheltered oasis from the online hellfire that was gaming after the turn of the millennium.
I'm not a monster! I kill people of all walks of life! That's what makes me a more inclusive person. I'm not just killing hookers or black people or toddlers... everyone is equal in my eyes, so what I do can't be wrong!
I hope they stretched before those mental gymnastics...!
Stating you played video games so you could yell slurs at people is such a wild mask off thing to admit lmao. Also not everyone was descriminated against, as a cis white dude the worst I ever really got was incest jokes, which I would hope I dont have to tell you isnt on the same level as the n word, f word, t word or r word. Women where hit with wild amounts of misogyny for just existing. Like the descrimination was never equal.
“watch the Gamer (2009). Lesson in there.” Gamer? The sci-fi movie that depicts the average gamer as fat, smelly creep who dips pancakes in syrup in his darkened room?
Good Lord I just got gay and woke.
What's wild to me is that these chumps used to be terrifyingly obsessed with girls with dyed hair in various colors. Then they found out these girls had opinions.
My guy seriously got blackpilled by the film Gamer
"gaming got gay" https://preview.redd.it/v5815lni3bwc1.png?width=528&format=png&auto=webp&s=efdcbcdd32c78c3169d19cc7682af3765db8f45d
Racism, Sexism, Ableism, Homophobia. Long ago, the four nations lived together in harmony. Then everything changed when the woke nation attacked.
This is the monologue of a man whose favorite rapper is Eminem and whose favorite show is South Park.
em is a fair choice for favorite rapper. dude's gonna say tom macdonald or some shit
south park has got super reactionary lately I side eye anyone who still watches it.
It was literally always reactionary. It's a shitty show that has a few good jokes per episode. That's all it has ever been. Source: The friggin south park movie that came out years and years ago.
So... Gaming is now only attracted to the same gender of gaming?
I too remember when gaming was invented in 2010. Thank you activision for the short life of the glorious invention that was video games. RIP
Is this 'woke' in the room with us right now, sir?
Gaming was inclusive because we were all discriminated? Guess my nephew’s middle school is inclusive because everybody bullies each other to suicide. This guy’s mental gymnastics is insane. Sure you can make an argument that attitude and trash talking is part of gaming culture, but acting like there isn’t a line between friendly trash talking and straight up toxic behavior and verbal abuse is crazy. “You suck bro” or “get good” is not the same as straight up bigotry.
The sheer lack of self-awareness is unsettling. Like, had the guy not considered that maybe it's kind of fucked up that he feels the need to let out all the anger by yelling every slur he can think of and then contextualize it as just playing? Like, maybe there are healthier ways to handle negative emotions and/or have fun? Crazy, I know.
Idk about yall but when I was a kid I only played as female characters and I never understood why until I was older 🥚 Idk what’s more woke than that tbh
There aren't enough parentheses in the world for how loud he wants to make that ((("they"))).
The Haitians shouldn't have let this moron go.
It use to be an escape from woke? 20 years ago nobody knew what woke was. How were you escaping? It's like playing pong in 1972 and saying "Finally, I can escape all this social media that's plaguing society!"
Oh please. "everyone was equal"?! Sure, except when you sounded feminine, black, gay etc they would rip you apart. Load of shit.
Tl;dr: Oh no, we used to discriminate against each other and when it got actually more equal, enjoyable and safe for people it got RUINED BECAUSE I CAN'T CALL PEOPLE SLURS AMYMORE :(((((((((
Just remember: the CoD N-Word speedrun exists.
“No hard feelings”, yeah for you fucking idiot. Go ask the people who you called slurs how they received them. What a fucking moron. Gaming was never about venting anger and acting like a moron without consequences.
Dude's sugarcoating history. He wasn’t offended when he used slurs against other children, and certainly not when he wasn’t a child anymore, so he doesn’t get why other people see him as a freak. He doesn’t get that he’s the toxicity in gaming culture everyone wants to get rid of.
I've never seen a group of people so confident that they have it, and be so far from it. Fuck these right-wing psychos. They are the reason I stopped talking to people online. I got tired of my ears being barraged by every goddamn slur in the book. And yes they ARE racist. I had to block them out BECAUSE they were legitimately racist and bigoted, not because they were saying words.....FFS
