    How is it that gaming as both an industry and as a hobby so consistently manages to attract the worst people you can imagine?

        I have a sneaking suspicion that if I were to look at your past comments you’d prove my point for me. You might do it right in this thread for that matter

      It’s an escapist thing. People just trying to escape the reality of their lives.

        I definitely play games for the escapism (have you fucking seen this shit that’s going on?) but I manage to not be a bigoted conservative sociopath just fine. I don’t think that’s the cause

          You know there are mods to remove/replace all the pride flags around the map in Spider-Man (2018)?

            I didn’t but that does not surprise me at all. Apparently reich-wing chuds even made a mod to remove the ability to choose “they” as a pronoun in Starfield – I guess the fragile little flowers felt that they were being forced to accept the existence of us queers?
