Like the fat thread stupid repetitive jokes about stereotypes concealed by self loathing.

Unlike the fat thread, those repetitive stereotypical jokes and stereotypes end up being real and acting like cartoon characters occasionally.

Because the majority of the blogosphere is one giant loving echo chamber that will not tolerate countering opinions and the lovely SJW culture has been allowed to fester and spread as a result.
Yes because clearly reddit and 4chan (and hostgator?) are all part of this lovely SJW culture that is silencing dissent and deleting posts.

the first result in a gis for gamer links to this article

quote:

Gaming is such a big part of a gamer’s life; it’s almost a lifestyle choice as you dedicate hours upon hours every week to the thing we love. People assume we have no social life but this is completely wrong with the plethora of social games today and more multiplayer games than I will to shake a stick at, people cannot call gamers anti-social as they are on average communicating with more people than the average person and these people are all from around the world with different experience, knowledge and ways of life but one thing bring them all together and unites them, games.

quote:

The majority of gamers I have met in my life time are extremely smart and ambitious and usually achieve throughout their lifetime.

quote:

Gamers usually have a large group of friends and even if their idea of a good Friday night in is playing an RPG with a group of friends and a couple of beers till 4 in the morning, who is anyone to tell them that this is wrong and that they should be out on the town and in the clubs?

you don't have to believe in cadres of sjws meeting in darkened rooms to realise that all of these people live and work in a tiny incestuous little echo-chamber with no-one but themselves for company, and they're all coming up with the same self-defeating asinine basura thoughts at exactly the same time

it happens in other lines of work too, but this "writing about indie games" business only supports about a dozen people and they ALL know each other, so it's very noticeable
