computer parts posted:"Dindu" sounds like a weird 19th Century slur. It's short for Dindu Nuffin, a slurring of "[I] didn't do nothing," a worthless plea that the feral criminal thugs spit out right before police rightfully shoot them on the spot. It is a weird 21st century slur.

Coolwhoami posted:Surely we can (indeed, we do) differentiate between "person who sometimes plays games/watches movies" and "person for which playing games/watching movies represents a major hobby or use of their time". If the arguement you're making here is "I don't think the word gamer is used in a manner to describe the latter" then other people's comments here indicate that is not true. I agree that we ought to better differentiate between the two, but right now a weird non-battle seems to be occurring over whether the word gamer ought to apply to anyone who plays or those that play a lot. The gamer label carries connotations of homophobia, sexism, racism, anti-intellectualism, and a whole host of other problems due to extremely loud assholes creating an association between calling oneself a gamer and in their next tweet saying "shut up Sarkeesian you stupid oval office." So while I play a lot of video games, I can't comfortably call myself a "gamer" because it implies I'm sending death threats to whatever loving rear end in a top hat gave Bravely Second a 6/10 and making takedowns of tropes vs. women on youtube.
