Your problem is that you think “gamer “is a valid cultural/political identity. It’s not. As a “gamer”, you share your “gamer demographic” with almost every belief system on the planet. Barbaric Muslims, subversive Bolshevik Jews, ghetto black Americans, socialist South Americans, degenerate trannies, feminist zealots - they all play video games in 2024. That’s why it’s now the most profitable entertainment industry by a wide margin.
“Gamer y/n?” is a retarded condition for your friend/foe distinction these days. You’re basically a civnat, except you’ve replaced “magic dirt” with gaming. Under your schema, you have greater solidarity with a psychotic leftist communist than a good family man so long as the former loves video games and the latter doesn’t like them very much. Do you not see how insane that is?
The truth is that people like you are the reason gamergate 1.0 didn’t work. Because it turns out you can’t stand shoulder to shoulder with people whose most cherished ideas are antithetical to your existence. People from all different hobbies can come together to fight a shared ideological enemy. People from all different ideologies cannot come together to fight for a hobby. It’s tantamount to multiculturalism, and we know that shit doesn’t work.
