Hardcore gamer = someone who plays only cinematic grizzed white dude games and/or military fetishizing FPS
Casual gamer = anyone that is not a 15-25 yo male, and/or plays anything outside of the previously mentioned games, especially if those games are colorful.
So basically the gaming community is full of gatekeeping, misogyny, toxic masculinity and general chuddery. They make sure they're the loudest voice heard when anything about games is talked about, and won't be happy until all games a homogenous stream of bland, hyper-realistic but with a grey filter slog of mindless action with no heart or soul. And don't you dare force them to read any dialogue or story.
games mechanics become watered down due to the profit motive and challenging games are fun, this whole thread feels like just contrarianism to spite a vocal minority turning being a HARDCORE GAMERRRRR into a personality trait
Where did I mention difficulty?
if you mean people restricting themselves to "manly" games thats also a loud online minority, i mean nintendo still makes the most popular games out there and stuff like undertale has sold how many millions now? so saying the gaming community(tm) is "full of gatekeeping, misogyny, toxic masculinity and general chuddery" is hard to believe
what planet are you from
No, gamers bad.
Both the Smash and Zelda fandoms have plenty of toxic chuds like yourself, ones that show up out of nowhere to concern troll and vomit ableistic bullshit if they feel like their treat is endangered by discussion of it that isn't 100% support of the status quo.
Oh yeah, totally no toxic bullshit in the Undertale fandom, either. Never ever.
As an Undertale enjoyer, I can acknowledge that toxic fandom being a problem, unlike you.
Go away.
Okay

No I meant you're low effort, the bait was too obvious.
That or you're either too young or haven't met enough capital G gamers
gamergate is pretty well known at this point.
You just met an authentic Epic G!mer, passive aggressive ableistic bullshit and all. And judging by the previous posts, yet another toxic Nintendo fan coming here to school us all about the wholesome treat that they're ferally defending here.
I don't even mind trolls if they're funny, but it's always the same generic shit with our ones lately.
I miss when ivermectin boomers would get lost and show up here.
Epic
isn't funny to me. It's sad and bleak to me.
My most recent previous run in with an Epic
involved such infantile rage over me saying maybe Mortal Kombat artists shouldn't have to watch gore/snuff films and experience trauma just to keep their jobs that I was told (CW: suicide, gore)

to slit my own throat and to kill myself.
Take that passive aggressive ableistic bullshit back to
