If I had a penny for every slur I've seen since I started playing multiplayer games I'd be able to make a life-size copper and zinc replica of the Sun. If I had a dollar for every slur I've seen in the past two weeks I'd be richer than Bezos.
Honestly fuck gamers. Little weasels make my fucking blood boil.
what gets me is honestly not the slurs directed my way (p rare for the most part) but the ones that are just like, casually in use
in the past 24 hours alone i've seen someone drop the n-word, the t-slur (admittedly i am trans but not @ me) and call each other every variety of gay under the sun
it just sucks that it's such an incredibly hostile space for anyone who isn't a white cishet dude, particularly since it's a hobby that's relatively diverse if my knowledge of the demographics is correct

yo fr one of my least favorite things to stumble upon is the ol' "i'm gay/black/trans/whatever but i'm not like those disgusting, subhuman bad ones"
like i get it, it sucks ass to be targeted for who you are. but you'd think having first-hand experience with that would keep people from propagating hate towards other minority groups, or at the very fucking least their own
naw, instead it's casual dehumanization time for everyone (who isn't me!), like it's gonna save them from the fascists they're cuddling up to
repulsive behavior, genuinely

that's exactly what i'm sayin'! i'll fucking die bloodsoaked and screaming on this hill, no one should have to endure the worst humanity has to offer, either generally or in incredibly niche circumstances.
idc if your hobby is, idk, competitive horseback handstands, you should be able to fucking do it without fascist shitbags ruining the experience.
