    Damn this quote is so vapid and useless. Yeah duh if you say something nobody agrees with people might hate you, even if you’re right and they’re wrong. Funnily that applies a lot more to pro-AES communists than any libertarian tendencies (the ones Orwell was part of) because we do actually get hate as a result of cold war propaganda. I wouldn’t be ranting about this if it was a poetic way of saying something obvious, but he just stated it in the sandpaper dry way you’d expect from a dissertation, like if it was really complex and needed to be put simply.

      #2 is tectone, he’s a piece of shit but his dad was such a prolificremoved in the military they had to write legislation and have congressional hearings about it.

      #4 is nux or (nuxtaku?). On top of your standard fare gross behavior he’s also a pedo. See also “twitch is hentai” to cringe out of your fucking mind.

      I recognize the second to last VTuber but I seriously don’t want to try to figure out their whole shit or remember their name.

      They think everyone who isn’t gooning 24/7 is being oppressed by the woke deep state and they’re just trying to liberate them. Do you hate freedom??

    If I was the type of person who openly called myself a gamer, I would want to distance myself from these cringe creeps. They’re the ones ruining the reputation of games with their gooner stuff. There is more to games than your weird anime loli shit.

      I had a lil booth in a weekend market from like 2007-2011 where I sold used video games, mostly focused on retro stuff but kept some modern at the time stuff around to keep things flowing. You’d be surprised how many people actually do want older copies of sports games and casually buy them for like ten bucks. It was pretty nice by the time Obama was in office and we had some lil crt TV’s around the booth with a few consoles hooked up so people could test games to be sure things were legit but also just having every system ever hooked up to a few tvs and them being available to play a really good selection of games (there was some expensive shit that couldn’t be played by people who weren’t gonna buy and didnt put down a deposit before testing of course). It was really fun until about the 2md half of 2010, beforehand our biggest priority was guessing what AVGN would cover and getting ahead of that and it increasingly became dealing with awful people. I was the co-star of this operation tbh, my partner at the time who is a woman was the one really rocking it as far as being there running it, I spent most of the weekends the market wss open going to yard sales and cheaper flea markets and pawn shops that sold drugs looking to fence games where they could be sold and especially rental stores closing down who were selling stock in bulk. I was the buy guy. Having a woman as kinda the face made other women comfortable at first and led to a decent amount of women, families etc coming up and checking out cool retro shit that we were there to get people into. But there was just like…a point that even our regular nerds who had been fine got ficking weird. Retro collecting started getting super huge and just fucking up our game and we had also pretty much dried the well locally for cheap ways to get retro games but the people who were coming by to play the games at the booth was also changing and it wasnt fun. Selling an NES with Mario Bros/duck hunt to a mom who remembers it and had a quick try with her 5 year old and seeing the kid light up for like $50 is what we were there to do, not furnish some creepy nerd’s collection. We were furnishing our own collection, thank you
