    i find gamingcirclejerk unbearable nowadays

    they do this thing where they imagine a guy to get mad at, like there'll be a gay person in a video game and 5 minutes later GJC frontpage will be full of people making fun of the imaginary gamer outrage, regardless of whether there has been outrage or not

    it's a self-congratulatory echo chamber where lib redditors get together and jerk each other off over how much better they are than all those sexist, homophobic, racist gamers, and if there's not enough Gamer Moments(tm) going on at the moment they'll just make some up

      Tbh, I don't think the reactionary gaming subculture has died down, so it's not like they're imagining it. Capital G gamers were throwing a shitfit at the fact that you can make your war criminal nonbinary in COD Cold War, so we have a long way to go.

      That all being said, it's just annoying when every other post is "updoot to scare Gaymers".

      I found the AIDungeon jerk at the moment to be funny, but maybe after 2-3 months of it being crap.

      They will also defend multi-billion dollar corporations to Own the Gamers™

      The main reason I stick around is cause there can be some really interesting stuff in the comments, but yeah, the posts mostly suck.
