So why do you force yourself in to gamers space if you think we are losers with no power?

Because we used to be home to the most valuable resource in the universe: the weaponised autists
He who controls the autists, controls the memes.
Pretty much, they've REALLY been targeting the autusts for trans'ing, when they used to be safe inside the gamer community in CoD lobbies or RPGs.
That and also games influence culture. Quite a bit actually, and the elites want control over culture so they will do everything they can in order to get ahold of it or otherwise denying others control of it. Even if it means complete destruction.
The memes must flow!
Long live the jokers!
It really is just theater kids all the way down. They imagine themselves to be social butterflies because they joined a club of like-minded retards. It used to be drama class, then it was tumblr, and now it’s Reddit. But everyone else fucking hates them.
actors were considered low caste in most societies throughout history for a reason
Equal to if not worse than prostitutes.
What's the difference?
Prostitutes are honest about what they are.
The fact that the terms "sex work" or "onlyfans model" exist, says otherwise.
Prostitutes actually admit that they are up for sale
Because we are not losers and powerless. They are demons, they invade and corrupt and consume. Do not project upon these women and their spawn healthy, natural and/ or good behaviors. They are none of those things. Creatures of darkness all of them.
We really do need to start acknowledging that this fight is rightfully framed as good vs evil.
Note how the discourse changed from: "gamers play games to feel good about themselves" to "gamers hate on games to feel good about themselves"
Why? Because the assholes who took over games are the ones living trough them, that's why they started to demand things like pronouns in games. They don't like games, they like validation
Gamers are people who buy a product.
They expect the product to be good.
When you take their money, give them a bad product, then bully them as if they're shitty people for not liking the thing they just paid for, you're going to get the obvious reaction.
Anyways.. the top post is just confession through projection.. so you know this person is on the verge of suicide.
Because people they don't like are in it. They hate you, more than is humanly healthy to hate, but they do. They can't physically run you out of town and exile you to the wilderness, so they'll do the next best thing, make your niches so unappealing you'll leave of your own accord. It's all about power and control.
They tried to force themselves into metal culture and it didn't work. There are a few faggy bands but no one really considers them metal.
They own all the magazines and websites and shit though.
I think too many people plays games for the goal instead of to have fun, and it creates this toxic mindset of "everything not getting me towards the end is a waste of time."
So a single wipe is now a personal attack on their time, a question betrays that you aren't 1337 enough to blaze past this content, and criticism of the game undermines their absurd time spent into it as possibly being wasted.
I love my games, but playing with other people or even engaging in the "community" can often be a huge risk of dealing with the worst people possible. And that was before the Woke infestation added the political possibility onto it.
I agree entirely. I've been playing games for decades and I won't even pretend that "toxicity" is some madeup Leftist psyop. What they call toxicity might be, but anyone whose ever played a MOBA knows that its both real and extreme.
Heck I've played WoW since 2006 and I could literally watch it grow in the community year by year. By Legion you were often better off not playing the game unless it was with friends/guildies because of how unbelievable so many people were (thanks to M+ that meant even "casual content" like dungeons became infested with it).
Fortunately, the 2010s are over and with it the "tacked on multiplayer" and "esports push" trend, meaning single player and coop are making a comeback across the industry and with it probably the slow decline of such a problem. Or at least the ability to not get involved.
I will say though that using the term "toxic" itself is probably too full of connotations to specific Leftie nonsense, so we should probably use something else to describe this problem.
I don't even consider basic socialization the problem. Only the fact that the two options are only "high level play" or "don't play at all." You can't go in and have fun, learn and improve. You must already be a great player or you will be kicked, flamed, or both.
Its one thing in competitive environments, though don't get me started on games that are competitive/ranked only no matter what, but its another in just simple playing of the game and trying to progress in a casual manner. Which of course always reaches its zenith on "meta only" requirements, where anything except the best possible comp/spec/class/etc is made basically impossible to join any groups (again, an issue when group content is the only way to progress).
And its fair if you want to use it regardless, I think otherwise because, as in the other response you got, people immediately assume its usage in a particular way because that's 90% of the usage it gets. They aren't wrong for assuming its being used in that way, which ends up with you needing to explain what you mean by it and ending up using considerably more words to do so.
Well, in other fandoms it's just a passive consumption of a product, and discussion of that. Games are where people directly impact your own engagement with the product.
Define toxic
That's reasonable. Toxic is usually a meaningless word used by leftists to describe any behavior they don't like. Like calling a faggot a faggot when he deserves it.
>could somebody please think of the poor multibillion dollar faceless corporation??
Because chicks have to ruin any group activity.
