(A funny meme for you, if you’re wondering about the picture)
So to preface, like everyone else, I came from reddit, a website that I left due to some subs that I don’t want to name as they are personal to me.
The reason I left is because it got flooded with stupid people, and I realised that the only reason I kept using Reddit was to argue with those fools.
But the thing is, that simply cutting out reddit didn’t solve my problem, which is that I really hate a lot of people and I’m not even going to deny it.
A lot of them deserve it tho, I’m mostly talking about those jerks who try to stample on others to feel better about themselves. I hate how this word got “ruined” but to be precise I’m talking about “bigoted” people.
Anyways l just because they “deserve” the hate (or don’t) I still feel angry after meeting people like this and I honestly don’t know what to do now.
EDIT: made formatting better
I realize that this is just satire in a cartoon and everything but I don't really like the negative stigma given the gamers being a 42-year-old gamer at this point in my life and a professional that makes good money and is a responsible adult, it's kind of annoying to see any group of people painted poorly like this. it's funny how phrases like One bad Apple ruin the whole damn bunch seem to just always ring true.
I think it's a bit of conflation going on, kind of how 'nice guys/girls' doesn't actually refer to people who are genuinely nice. (Referring to people who are nice on the assumption that they are owed something in return for it.)
The stigma around 'gamers' really boils down to the sort who make it their whole identity, as opposed to people who just enjoy video games. And unfortunately, it's easy for people to not even care about the difference.
The comic itself does kind of lean on the more general 'he just plays video games all day', but I guess that's why the post reclaims it a bit.
