Instead of "it's not for me" it's always "this is horrible". Most of the time I'm on social media I see people talk down to others or ridicule them for liking or enjoying certain games. I get that gamers can be annoying, but it's just so draining sometimes.

And don't get me started on this anti-"woke' movement. Some people are BEGGING to see developers and games fail just because they don't like their stuff. Not to mention most of their complaints are based in BIGOTRY alone, which is definitely not getting better in the coming years. It's so fucking infuriating

Plus, In the early times of the Internet, gaming discourse wasn't this negative at all outside of the stupid Console War discussions.

I'm pretty sure that it's the way that social media is designed. It's designed to generate outrage to maximize engagement
