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.

      I think the oblivion horse amour is another good example, because that kinda shit is just the norm now. When that came out people got pissed at bethesda.

      But it never did stop them. There was outrage and then people apparently kept buying 18 editions of skyrim anyhow. It's for show, and even that has stopped.
