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 was actually always surrounded by gamers. Practically all my friends were made through games as a kid and as an adult I’ve been now working in the game industry for years. In my previous companies, the people working there weren’t the capital G gamer types, many in fact didn’t really even play games. My current company though has either self unaware bigots or bigots who pretend to be self unaware of own bigotry. I just really lucked out. Or, as I feel, the issue is getting worse, hence why I see it so much lately. :((((
