Why does it always come down to gaming?

@LukeAlmighty because the vast majority of gamers are straight white males and many of us are not just the normies that let everything slide. We're stubborn. We don't like change to them, when it reality we just don't like negative or useless change.

@LukeAlmighty the revolution stops for no one, but i think gamers and weebs generally have a more disagreeable personality than most + are very online and vocal, so we get into clashes with these people or tell them to fuck off more than anyone else. because they're psychos with no hobbies that makes them want to dedicate their life to ruining what we have out of spite
The issue with the entryism theory is that many of the people who shat up the hobby in the early-mid 00s trooned out. I can't find the original viral tweet but there was a popular tweet talking about how Kingdom Hearts fans became girls between 2 and 3 and the replies were WOW THAT IS LITERALLY ME.

There's a difference between an Anita or Zoe Quinn type outsider looking for a community to shit up, and a goony man who changed pronouns. All it takes is for the former to infect the latter.
@PhenomX6 @LukeAlmighty they troon out but there's always new children to groom into being the next suicidal cultist revolutionary to keep the cycle going
Exactly and I'm not ignoring this.

Look at Tumblr and how it's mindset still infects new blood to this day despite being dead over on Twitter. This is why they also infect games, and you'll understand when I say it; they're amazing propaganda tools. Remember during the GG days when there was that whole DARPA rabbit hole about propaganda games?

The mindset matters more than the method here; they know what games are good as and it is as ways of influencing people. So they use it as a weapon, same with other forms of media. Moreso if they're aware of how absent parents are being in the wagecage 24/7 to earn enough for the family with the kid being left to daycare/school/the internet.
