Comment on GOG seemingly shares that they are considering physical PC 'big box' games. Maybe?
PerfectDark@lemmy.world 6 days agoMaybe this is just a ‘thing’ I don’t understand (super likely), why are you censoring ‘gamers’? Or any word on Lemmy? Being a mod here, I can tell you with 100% certainty that if you follow our rules, you don’t have to censor any word you’re using like you have to on TikTok.

there’s an ongoing memetic flashmob-style recurring gag where people pretend that the entire population of gamers are universally so toxic and evil that talking about them is a curse. stereotypes that gamers are racist, misogynistic, etc.
and like, yeah, they are, but i don’t like gatekeeping and the ‘joke’ reeks of it, in that it conveys the implication that playing video games is causative of acquiring fascist views and that if you play video games people will assume you are cultivating a fascist viewpoint and supporting an inherently fascistic and ontologically evil industry, which may cause some people, especially people who are already marginalized, to feel like they are either unwelcome to participate in a recreational activity or that they will be further ostracized for participating in a recreational activity.
i for one would merely like to see people not being discouraged from enjoying stuff, y’know…?
