Like why do people spend time watching someone play a video game and occasionally talk into the air

    Not surprising, considering esports celebrities used to be regular members of various gaming communities before they became successful, and gaming communities in general have always had a problem with reactionary elements. About 15+ years ago, I used to play a few games competitively, and people casually throwing slurs at each other was a common occurrence. Even your average lib of the era wouldn't hesitate to throw in a slur from time to time.

        Hah, I remember that notorious Daikatana ad. Surprisingly enough, John Romero has turned out to be alright, and is even an outspoken ally of the LGBTQ+ community now. Unlike many other '90s 'rockstar' game developers, he seems like a decent person. The same can't be said for his former colleague John Carmack, who calls himself a libertarian (lol), and hangs out with typical chuds. That seems to be a common thing among many old school developers.
