Men are fine, the "Gamer" culture is toxic

Just go to any multiplayer FPS game, and you have right wing shit in the chat. 🤦‍♂️

Yeah, because all those dumbfucks you see on twitter who probably don't even know how to grab a gamepad are fine...

Many men (and women) are not ok. They are either ignorant or evil (or both) enough to think that the middle age was a great time to be alive. And today, they are free to say it on the internet without the risk of being ostracized or ridiculed because "all opinions must be respected".

You're confusing people who play video games with g*mers

Please.

Just go to any place and you have right wing shit in the chat/comments/etc. 'Gamers' aren't any more toxic than the average population.
