Gamers.
We're a group of people who will sit for hours, days, even weeks on end performing some of the hardest, most mentally demanding tasks. Over, and over, and over all for nothing more than a little digital token saying we did.
We'll punish our selfs doing things others would consider torture, because we think it's fun.
We'll spend most if not all of our free time min maxing the stats of a fictional character all to draw out a single extra point of damage per second.
Many of us have made careers out of doing just these things: slogging through the grind, all day, the same quests over and over, hundreds of times to the point where we know evety little detail such that some have attained such gamer nirvana that they can literally play these games blindfolded.
Do these people have any idea how many controllers have been smashed, systems over heated, disks and carts destroyed 8n frustration? All to latter be referred to as bragging rights?
These people honestly think this is a battle they can win? They take our media? We're already building a new one without them. They take our devs? Gamers aren't shy about throwing their money else where, or even making the games our selves. They think calling us racist, mysoginistic, rape apologists is going to change us? We've been called worse things by prepubescent 10 year olds with a shitty head set. They picked a fight against a group that's already grown desensitized to their strategies and methods. Who enjoy the battle of attrition they've threatened us with. Who take it as a challange when they tell us we no longer matter. Our obsession with proving we can after being told we can't is so deeply ingrained from years of dealing with big brothers/sisters and friends laughing at how pathetic we used to be that proving you people wrong has become a very real need; a honed reflex.
Gamers are competative, hard core, by nature. We love a challange. The worst thing you did in all of this was to challange us. You're not special, you're not original, you're not the first; this is just another boss fight.
You cheated not only the game, but yourself.
You didn't grow.
You didn't improve.
You took a shortcut and gained nothing.
You experienced a hollow victory.
Nothing was risked and nothing was gained.
It's sad that you don't know the difference.

Vegan cafe that boasted about charging male customers an 18% 'man tax' and seating women first is now closing downIn a farewell post on Facebook, Handsome Her said the man tax attracted widespread criticism online.
'The way the world responded (to the man tax) showed us how fragile masculinity is and solidified the necessity for us to confront and dismantle patriarchy,' the post said.
Oh thanks for asking, not entirely but I feel we have common ground.
Also as long as prison populations are counted for electoral purposes not letting any of them vote is like old plantation politics, honestly should choose one or the other.

FFXI was proof of that
i just pray she has a tweet coming to warn us of the dangers of Prussian militarism
pt 3 of the evergreen state series out today
am i a bad person because whenever i see a person who says they have a PhD on twitter and the phrase “MAGA” right next to it, i assume they are either a bot or full of shit
for the record this isn’t assuming all republicans or people who lean right, just people who have free time to post 1,000 times a day on twitter while doing so
(for the record i am looking at that “Chris” guy in the tulsi tweet who is making bad faith arguments about US dependence on oil and contradicting himself in a few places. why is he so wrong and how does he have so much free time to be wrong)
(that dude has 1.2 million tweets. o n e p o i n t t w o m i l l i o n)
This is why military service should not be a favorable credential when the people are in favor of war and American imperialism. Especially because there are a few hundred of these types of incidents happening since this forever war began and has been largely ignored by American Media.
