At least most people are dunking on him in the comments
It's strange to me how gamers are viewed as a homogenous group. If e.g. a tennis player misbehaves on court, it's the individual. While with gamers, it's always the group as s whole . I for one, don't want to be bunched up with other people, just because we share a hobby.
I feel like doesn’t mean everyone who plays video games, it’s the people that making “gaming” their personality. Not, I am someone who enjoys video games, I am a gamer. It’s that type that treats media consumption as identity that tend to be horrible people.
If the hobby develops its own subculture that poorly socialized children and manchildren base their entire identity around, and that subculture is incredibly reactionary and overall lame, then it is fair to shit on it.
Also even if gamers weren't reactionary people are still going to judge you for making consuming entertainment a hobby. Nobody considers watching TV a hobby, or scrolling tiktoks, or jerking off.
If shitting on gamers genuinely bothers you need to touch grass. Log off. Go outside.
Movie buffs aren't likely to hard-r me and start making "day of the rope" threats just for my liking a movie they find contemptible, or believing that women AREN'T second-class kitchen appliances; and the kinds of football hooligans who act like Gamer™ crackers do don't exist in Occupied Turtle Island yet. So for now, I'm going to keep shitting on invertebrate settler Gamer™ trash as the scumfucks they are.
That's not what I said. I said it's levels to this shit, and Amerikan sports fans are not on the level of football hooliganism yet. When you've got kickers, tight ends, goalies, or point guards literally walking off their respective fields of play because an entire half the stadium is making monkey noises at them, then you'll have a point there. But til then, it's still levels to this shit, and the crackers are not there yet.
That is some absolute goal post moving nonsense. The claims made so far have been two
1:Gamers are exceptional because they are the only ones who define themselves by media consumption. This is naked bullshit
2:Gamers are uniquely reactionary and racist. And that's plainly fucking nonsense when sports fans exist.
Now you chime in with the caveat that sure sports fans might do that, but European sports fans are worse than American ones, to which the answer is... so? They still suck. They'll still form an impromptu cracker race riot because they lost or won.
"Filmbros" and sports guys have the same negative reputation. At least with film bros film analysis is an intellectual pursuit and an established academic field. Gamers' critic of games are usually just them whining about the amount of polygons some virtual boobs have.
Pretty much everyone in the developed world under 30 plays videos games a fair amount these days. Gamer doesn't really refer to anyone who plays video games, or even plays a lot of video games, or are somewhat passionate about the medium, but people who build a whole culture and identity around video games. And that culture is sadly really fucking cringe due to a number of reasons, the primary culprit I suspect being that the whole gamer sub culture really grew out of the shittiest parts of the early internet and was actively encouraged and courted by the games industry.

consuming media...fills the belly

People literally do. Have you seen sports fans or movie buffs? This is frankly just an absurd take.

Lmao Yeah. American sports fan never engage in racist harassment or violence. Sure.
