Comment on Gamer Logic š”
baguettefish@discuss.tchncs.de āØ10ā© āØhoursā© agoi donāt think many people who played games at the time were heavily invested in gamergate, but the gamergate gamers were a very loud and toxic minority. thatās often who is being talked about when you say gamer, not the average person who plays games.
I literally donāt call myself a gamer anymore because I donāt want to be associated with that trash.
They can have the term, quite frankly, playing video games isnāt a personality but I like the idea of clearly identifying the people that think it is.
I donāt know how I feel about it.
I probably game too much, even as an elderly old man. I still call myself a gamer AND want Steve Bannon and all his diet nazis to die in the most humiliating and embarrassing way possibleā¦ crushed by frozen poop falling from a plane sounds fun.
This is what nazis do. Take good or innocuous things and pervert them. All they do is destroy.
Iāll still keep calling myself a gamer while respecting your desire to distance yourself from scum.
thatās a good mindset to have

Yeah, Iām into gaming and still in the dark about what gamersgate is about. I was on reddit but not using other social media like twitter, so maybe that played role in not getting much exposure to it.
I donāt think average gamer kept up with gamersgate, since they just were more interested in what games came out, reviews, and discussions about games.
