I’m so confused why they thought the Valorant crowd would like Elon. The only people that still like him are crypto bros and edgy twitter users

You are equating a large group of People with the tiny portion focused upon by media.
There are no capital-G Gamers following Valorant.
Remember that video games are now the largest media industry in the world. Remember that gamergate happened almost 10 years ago now, and that Valorant is only 3 years old.
The kids playing and watching Valorant probably don’t even know enough about the controversy to make the connection. They just know an asshole when they see one.
Honestly I don’t even think capital-G Gamers play games anymore. It’s an aging demographic that is too bitter and stupid to keep up.
“Gamers” are notoriously obnoxious shithead edgelords.
Especially those playing competitive pvp games.
Show us on the doll where the twelve year old CoD fortnite player hurt you.
You’re kinda making things worse.
If you say so, dude. Don’t let my pointing out that toxic condemnation of whole groups of People you know nothing about is no less toxic than the behavior being attributed to said group dampen the whole toxic condemnation vibe y’all got going.
Any gamer who won’t admit that the competitive pvp crowd (namely fps and moba) aren’t toxic and prone to slinging slurs around is lying to themself. Obviously that doesn’t encompass anywhere near the entire fan base of those games, but we also can’t pretend it’s not an issue.
Dude, I play games every day, and I read manga, manhwa, and manhua. There are tons of shitty attitudes, racism, bigotry, and misogyny I see everyday. Comment section I read just a few mins ago where the manhwa is discussing how dark magic isn’t really evil, a comment shows KKK image in an HH salute with the comment “I hate everything that’s dark.”
I know lots of good people from those communities also, but they don’t defend the community like you’re doing. Admit it has a problem, even if you love it. Nothing is perfect, and so nothing is without problems. Pointing it out can help reduce those problems or let your fellow community members know you don’t find it funny or acceptable. If you just stick your head in the sand then claim “not all _______”, it’s equivalent to not acknowledging the issue and asking the rest of us to just accept it as is.
Thanks for proving my point.
Your point being that you can out edge lord the whiniest of twelve year olds was well made already.
Thanks for proving my point.
Twitter’s dead, fools.
You don’t want twitter back, you want Elon gone, if you only cared about the name, then you deserve X.

Always keep in mind that most people are not on Twitter/X
Eh, most terminally online people are or were.
What I was trying to say was that if the above poster made the conclusion, “disliking the platform you’re on” = “not having a backbone”, and that the “average” person was on Twitter/X; that might not be correct as most people are not on Twitter/X. I think a lot of us are recovering from the idea that Twitter/X is reality, but sometimes it still slips through.
TLDR; the people on Twitter/X are a super minority.
Apologies if I misunderstood your comment.
It’s the same on all social media though. People on reddit that hate spez, zuckerburg haters on facebook/instagram. It’s a weird thing, honestly.
I don’t care about Twitter either way. I love this just for the fuck with Musk aspect.
