I've been watching a few of the trailers for new games that appeared at some awards show.
Reading through the YouTube comments is fucking repugnant. No wonder the average person associates video games with incel neckbeards.
The thing that gets me is the grim knowledge that these people are in society. They are neighbours, coworkers, family members etc. They just put on a face in public but let loose with their real self online. You probably unknowingly come across these people in real life. Itβs a disturbing thought.
Absolutely. They're too cowardly to stand by their "alpha" opinions in real life.
I will never understand why it's so fucking contentious to have a woman as a main character. It's insanity.
It's a video GAME.
I wish my life was so privileged that this was my biggest worry.
