      Depends. Many gamers are literal kids that (hopefully) will grow out of their toxic phase. The culture warriors that take this shit serious though are a pretty lost cause unless they manage to get a grip. This whole culture war stuff goes hand in hand with more reactionary behaviour so I do think gaming culture as a fast track towards becoming a straight up nazi is concerning.

        The ones that didn’t grow out of it include 4chan’s older demographic, which is primarily in its 50s now. I wish I was exaggerating; these aging divorced dad fucks (CW: murder, suicide)

        goad teenagers into shooting up their schools to “get the high score top kek” while they themselves contemplate murder-suiciding what’s left of their estranged families because they’re such pieces of shit.

      Not only melting down, but melting down over a Bethesda game lol. Their last good game was Morrowind over 2 decades ago. Imagine feeling any emotion other than boredom over a post-Morrowind Bethesda game.

      I think the most distressing part is that so many G*mers are relating and defending him rather than laughing at a literal man-baby melting down.

      They really are? They aren’t even trying to back away from this cringe explosion?

      Show me a little of it… I think I can take it. dead-dove-1
