Yep true! I think it went from “all Video Games get you bullied” -> “not playing the right video games gets you bullied” -> videogames now widespread and won’t get you bullied, but I there’s probably a bit of the previous two going on in some schools.

I still have no respect for people playing competitive online games. Their behavior just shows them as largely being the same kind of sportos who were no end of misery growing up. Fuck em, single player games for life.

That’s interesting. Personally I never got into competetive online stuff (other than minecraft servers), and when i did play it with friends it was a bit mid, so i’m also a singleplayer-only guy.
It’s definitely true that those I’ve seen are ‘sportos’ (great word) but there do exist people who out the effort into keeoing an inclusive environment for it. E.g other singleplayer gamers would probably do that.
I think turning videogames into a social occasion helps people to manage it in healthy quantities, which is something I have struggled with.

“Sportos” is old slang, dunno how far it spread, maybe it’s just local. Breakfast Club era slang.

lol i still get bullied for playing video games. but it’s mostly from people my own age who basically think it’s a shameful horrible thing to do… but will spend hours on social media or watching brainrot tv.

I remember being teased for liking Halo 3 because everyone else was obsessed with COD for being “realistic”.
