I genuinely didn’t see the shit people complain about when it comes to gamers. I am very sheltered, because I never was into social media and even Lemmy and Lemmy adjacent projects I come into and then leave (I’m like a cat, I guess). So somehow I got lucky and didn’t really see the shit. Or maybe the crappy behaviours are on the rise.

racist gamers

I am so fucking tired of gamer tubers whenever they want to make a funny/ugly (by their standards) character going for black hair and/or skin. I swear every time they make a joke character they always give the character dark skin and/or black hair. And it’s huge channels, e.g. “Let’s Game It Out” and so much more.

anti-commie and sinophobe gamers

I’m also sadly afflicted with liking strategy games and the amount of really fucking racist anti commie and (rarely or) sinophobic shit they make up is so fucking tiring. And it’s again big channel, e.g. “The Grim Kleaper”.

I am too depressed lately to play much myself, so I resort to watching, because I enjoy gaming, but I don’t enjoy most of the gamers. :/

      I got recommended his Enshrouded video and he was clearly (based on the way he acts) making a joke character, which turned out to be an old Asian man with black-type hair.

        I just saw it come up and his justification is “which hairstyle says ‘mid-life crisis’ the hardest” He always tries to make the most ridiculous-looking character he can and Enshrouded has limited options.

        Maybe I’m naive to give him the benefit of the doubt. His Palworld character who was 80% torso had a purple mop-top made of dreads and a blue goatee.
