Granted it was during a bleak period of my life when I was so reactionary. But my god, to think these goobers are still around today, still doing racism and sexism, just moving from target to target to take out the impotent rage on.

Just reminded of it today with the “discourse” of Yasuke being in Ass Creed and G*mers changing any woman not white and waifish with AI.

The best thing about the whole to me was that it showed how reactionary most g*mers are, and it soured me forever on being in any video game related online spaces unless they explicitly don’t allow reactionaries.

The other day I logged onto my private server for FFXI and I saw someone with the username “didyouassumemygender” and I was like “great”

I’ve noticed if a private server is geared towards “hardcore” players like old FFXI ones are you going to meet more G*mer reactionaries. I play on CatsEyeXI which is super casual and even still.

I think the most overt name I saw was in planetside 2: “fashygoy88”
