    What is fundamentally wrong with these people?

    What is it that they actually want?

    It seems like they don’t want anyone except themselves to exist. That’s clearly not a realistic thing that is going to happen and they’re inexplicably angry about it. All the time. One might as well go through life wishing that the colour green doesn’t exist.

      They want these groups to exist, so that there’s a class of people that they can feel superior to

      But once society starts even slightly addressing the inequality in the most minor ways, they’re terrified that their ‘superiority’ is at risk and they can’t cope with that

      Probably all non white males should be the enemy in their games to reflect their dream world?

      Except white hetero women ofc.

      These are satirical/ironic. It’s a joke, probably fair to call it a circlejerk but it’s mostly self-perpetuating at this point. “Gamer, rise up!” and “I’m sure everyone will have pronouns as well” are the main giveaways. The last one I’m less sure about because the punchline is weak but I would still guess it isn’t sincere.

        I used to believe like you. That these were just trolls. Otherwise reasonable people having a laugh. Good times all around.

        And then the election happened. So now I’m no longer sure that the world is full of mostly reasonable people. And I believe at least half of these people are actually like this.

        It could be, but I’ve seen what seems to be genuinely held beliefs that look identical to these.it turns out these very fragile snowflakes actually exist too, to the detriment of us all.

        Have you seen the Stellar Blade petition videos? People like the ones in the comments exist.

        Sure some are parodying but these socially awkward white men who wrap their entire life’s around videogames are real and are the loud minority. Because games are their life they feel attacked when they see non-whites they can’t kill in games.
