brain?
The asmons will leave, the annoying coomers dont. Streamerfags just shit up threads
Replying to Phijkchu_Pikachu #klombak Dead rat alarm clock man is not capable of human emotions like enjoyment
At a party recently I had to explain the wall of blood and the alarm rat to someone
But yeah, streamers hopping on trends are annoying, culture war grifters are 10x more annoying, and people who are self rightious about gatekeeping their hobby are probably between those two groups
You do not need to go out of your way to gatekeep, thats retarded
Is it a post-covid/culture war thing that gatekeeping is now seen as a proactive thing you do for a fandom or just terminally online derangement
I feel like there were only a few hobbies I got into with people actively trying to gatekeep it, like 40k.
40k is gatekept by the fact that it is expensive
and time consuming
I was going to say its gatekept by a wallet
Anime is low entry bar because anyone can put on some english dub, barely pay attention to it, and claim they hecking love anime
Gaming is also low entry bar because people can just watch lets plays/streamers play games and talk about how much they love/hate said games
because watching a game is the same as playing it
I was going to say gaming is a luxury still, a lot of people ignore that
obviously
Its not, but you can low investment get involved in gaming by doing so
Yea for sure
Its not like I myself don't have thoughts on games I have never played but have watched someone play
like, I have never played earthbound/mother 3 for instance, but do respect the games having watched a full playthrough of them
but I also play more games than most people who would consider themselves gamers (since the statistical average is playing a few forever games and maybe a handful of new releases)
I think watching is somewhat valid since I think games are art in a way
i don't like calling myself a gamer just because i play games
fire is a professional map starer, not a gamer
Well you dont like using the hard R ending right
i feel like playing games and being a gamer are separate things
I agree fire
I do think I am a gamer though considering how I play games
I do not really consider someone who plays 2 forever games like fortnite and maybe something else, and does not play/try/interact with gaming other than that as a game though
despite playing games
Replying to heir #hyrrulfr i feel like playing games and being a gamer are separate things
you're suffering from internalized anti-gamer hatred. You need to play 10 hours of minecraft a day to heal
I would not consider someone who only plays minecraft a gamer
it might just be that though, gamer feels like a derogative term when people use it irl
like "oh you're a gamer..."
gamers are the most oppressed people in history
lol fire
idk if i've ever heard anyone say something like that irl
it's the implication that if your hobby is gaming, you're somehow failing as a human being
but i wouldnt care cuz I don't think the opinions of strangers matter at all
Gamers are over, gamers do not need to be your audience
source gamergate
I think I interact with gaming enough, both by literally playing, and by thinking about gaming abstractly as a medium, that the title fits
Replying to heir #hyrrulfr it might just be that though, gamer feels like a derogative term when people use it irl
In a world where Noob is a slur
there are people who think that polar
Thats so cool dude
I gotta start throwing that in the mix
Noob is our nword
the most oppressed class
I remember people threw around "retard" all the time at school when i was a kid and now suddenly its a slur but i can't see it as anything more than another generic insult
Retard is an unavoidable slur that is pointless in policing
Before retard is was special, its just a word to say someone is not mentally developed.
It'll always shift
to me its just the same level as idiot/stupid/dumb
you know, generic and meaningless
What's wrong with using a word to offend someone
My intention was to offend them anyways
To be fair if you were retarded how cognizant of that would you even be, its chill
I meant like nigger and stuff but yeah exactly the same concept
I do not typically use the nigger word because I don't care to, I do use retard a lot though
Nigger is the rare word i am more likely to say aloud than type
Neither is that high chance
And it's usually more of a "said under my breath" sort of thing
See, I would not say something under my breath
It's usually not event directed at someone
It's just one of my words I say when I'm annoyed
I do not get annoyed very often in public
This doesn't have to be in public
or in privite to myself
I call myself a retard in a jovial way when I am being retarded though
Ill let an N word rip if im doing a bit, quoting something, or ive lost 10 games of Street Fighter to a ps4 wifi player
Replying to Phijkchu_Pikachu #klombak I call myself a retard in a jovial way when I am being retarded though
In a simple jack type way
I think it might also be a cultural thing considering black people are barely a thing in Canada
so the word does not come to mind
I dont get people's aversion to nigga, but I guess im an edge lord unfortunately
My dad will yell it in the car when he sees a black person doing something retarded
I say, having been in vc with my black friend yesterday planning things to do when I am back home
But tbf he got jumped by them and almost went blind in one eye lol
Racist for life
Only my grandpa will let it rip casually, but hes an old Italian man and will more often call the Mooleys
Yeah, see, I think being around black people, or more adequately ghetto black people, which is more of an american thing, raises the desire to use the word
