Am I the only one that actually doesn't mind the term boomer shooter? I find it hilarious and accurate for the most part.

It's just a harmless joke, most boomers never actually played DOOM and it's not even used in a pejorative manner.

I know it’s not meant to be pejorative so I really don’t take offense except I’ve been playing video games since pong in the early 80s so they’re talking about me. I’m only 53 and no freakin’ boomer.

GenX shooter… ok maybe. Gex shooter … GX shooter…. Something like that. I don’t know of a single boomer playing games. I know there are some I just don’t personally know any.
