@anonymousREX17@suchnerve I don't think one thing being worse makes the other somehow good.
Both of these things suck. It's not specific to one gender, but one is far more common than another, so you hear about it more.
@Skywolfen283284@TheBasedMother I'm not sure how to feel about a *Left-Leaning* political engagement drone...
This is like, the first time I've ever seen one, lol
@HalosOfAmber@Quitdabullshit@yoshi12370 - would be to claim that the outsider's perspective is the realistic perspective, where the two are so similar that it isn't worth pointing out what makes them special.
I, for one, think Overwatch STINKS at representation, but will not deny the satisfaction one has with it.
@HalosOfAmber@Quitdabullshit@yoshi12370 To be pragmatic in this scenario is not to conclude that both backgrounds are too similar to keep from flanderizing either, it would be to understand that their differences, however small, matter more when they are so similar. To be cynical, hence the knee-jerk reactions-
@PubertPubertsn@STayl77476615@AlderDSBlue "If games turn into a multi-million dollar watchathon"
Are we now writing off esports fans? Further, the claim that a sport is "meant"(?) to be watched and played is incongruous with their objective status as a game. What would that make a "Video Game"?
@PubertPubertsn@STayl77476615@AlderDSBlue A fan of football who has never played football will never feel the weighty concuss of another man flooring their shit. Therefore, it is hard to say that they are true football fans. Even as they fill stadium seats.
@PenguinMasterGL@ianhamilton_@ankowaifu You're begging the question by assuming that fan = player.
Football has thousands of fans who don't play the sport, and thousands of players who aren't fans.
By your logic, you HAVE to like a game in order to play it, and you CAN'T enjoy games you can't play.
@MareSchizo2@AlderDSBlue Why do you care at all about fandom seniority?
Isn't the point to enjoy the game? Who gives a shit if someone's being an elitist, that shouldn't affect your consumption of game media. Unless you put stock into your own "Seniority" like it's a pissing contest.
@Bairda22@meteorshower_m@AlderDSBlue "Not enthusiastic enough to partake"
Ah, yes, enthusiasm, the one and only thing that stands between you and the medium noted for it's expensive periphery.
I can assure you that no fandom worth it's salt feels the need to pressure you into spending money you don't have.
@DavidCates38119@meantweeting1 No, Dumbass, this is a schizophrenic going to a mental hospital instead of prison.
If you could stop making everything about race, I think you'd enjoy your life a lot more.
