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 always found the "historical accuracy" claim on SA being acceptable in "non-modern" times being really a shit excuse by creeps given how there's lots of cases of peasantry laws having stuff such as freaking trial by combat between women accusing men of SA and being able to bludgeon them to death, I honestly feel that though SA happened our own perceptions on it are shaped by how SA was literally legal and officiated by the catholic church for married couples as it became a dominant legal figurehead as it expanded into Europe and was then carried into the US and it's own legalalized statutes on legal abuse towards women.

    I feel the same way.

    I also think it's an absurd argument to make when the "historically accurate fiction based upon The War Of The Roses(tm)" has highly historically inaccurate costumes, modern mannerisms and smirk-laden sarcastic quipping, a gross misunderstanding of feudalism as a political system where it's basically a corporate boardroom with swords, and of course it has fucking dragons and ice zombies in it.

    Usually "historical accuracy" just means chud politics us-foreign-policy or hog feeding awooga libertarian-alert hypersus
