I'm done, I'm fucking tired of them.

I don't understand these pieces of shit anymore. Every "gaming" community I'm (sadly) part of is filled with these monumental pieces of dog shit, every one of them has a very vocal group of reactionary pieces of shit that just makes me wanna throw them into the Barbara Pit. UGH.

So I play mostly two games these days, STALKER "Anomaly" and World of Warships. About Stalker, I'm part of a discord server that handles everything related to the "mod" called "Anomaly", pretty fun game if you ask me, try it out if you like survival shit. Now, that game has only ONE woman in the entire world, nicknamed "Hip", which has a questline and shit. For some reason, incels in that community hate her, like holy fucking shit they hate her a lot. It's not uncommon to see "memes" directed at a fucking female NPC and those who "simp" for her (???), saying things like "Man I wish this game had gore so I can see Hip's head explode" and shit like that. WHAT. THE. FUCK.

There is always, every day, at least one comment directed at a fucking female NPC, people who take pride in "killing Hip" to "keep the Zone clean", holy fucking shit, it's exhausting. Sadly, it became quite common in that community, it's pretty fucking sad.

Now World of Warships has a mainly boomer audience, some of these american boomers I met are good people, like they just care about shooting at other boats with their boats and have some fun. Others... are quite worse. There's an entire clan dedicated to Donald Trump, how fucking cringe is that? I'm more or less undercover in their discord server and oh my fucking god, it's terrible, it's a fucking hellhole. It's THE reactionary shithole.

Some illustrious members of the Warships community, in other words, "Community Contributors" or "popular" streamers in general do like being pieces of shit. One of them, perhaps the most popular, recently called another streamer "a fucking r-word", live, in front of like 700 or more people. Another streamer said "This guy is a fucking r-word, but you know guys, it's actually ok to be a r-word, but it's not ok to be autistic" in front of 100 people because that player did a mistake (The autistic people, to him, are those who play a specific class in the game), plus the guy goes around dropping the r-word at everything because yeah, that's fine. Like what the fuck is wrong with these people, WHY? Why are they like this? Do they have no compassion? Do they have to fucking empathy for anyone? What even is their problem? Why do they get triggered with a FEMALE NPC IN A GAME ABOUT SURVIVAL IN CHERNOBYL? why do they get so fucking triggered when someone does something they don't like?

There are more examples, but these are the most recent. And this is a super specific corner of the gaming world, like STALKER and World of Warships (I bet some of you never even heard of the latter), I know it's even worse among larger and more generic communities. I just don't understand how g*mers sprinted to the right so damn fucking quick...

Oh and let alone the recent peak in sinophobia in War Thunder, a game where a bunch of chinese players go and play in the North American servers. These people are constantly harassed by white westerners who just yell at them "1989 TIANANMEN SQUARE", "FREE HONG KONG" or "TAIWAN REAL CHINA", among other a bit more racist things, the moment they spot one, like wtf are they even doing?

Fuck them.

And I need to go out as well, but fucking COVID won't let me.

    I only play single player and occasionally in person multiplayer. Solves that.
