      I no longer identify as a “gamer” it’s long since been coopted by a group I have no desire to associate with.

      Not sure what their “world” is but I imagine a lot of tendonitis from all the knee jerk reactions from the members of it

        Literally every game dev I know feels the same way. Gamers are the actual worst. Even when they’re not doing their culture war schtick, they’re complaining about the overhead of borderless fullscreen like it’s 2010.

      The n-word.

      Such named for multiple incidents of edgy preteens using it in voice chat. And then PewDiePie cementing the relationship during an infamous incident where he said it while playing player unknown’s battlegrounds.
