God damn do I hate the gaming community. Just absolutely obsessed with picking everything apart and never actually having fun with the hobby they supposedly enjoy.
Everything is about complaining about wokeness or about which souless corporation is the best/worst or about over analysing whether Silent Poopoo 3 is the worst game ever because 59 frames per second and Resident Pee had 60.
People should pick apart things, people should be critical of the things they consume (most of it is absolute fucking trash anyway, what do you expect from late-stage capitalism). The problem is that gamers just completely lack the critical thinking skills to actually engage with the medium in any productive way. The vast majority of gamers and game journalists view and engage with media as if it was a piece of consumer electronics, like it was a fridge or a stove that had one specific function (that function being “to entertain”) and its quality lies only in whether it can perform that function with the least amount of friction for the least amount of effort. For them games are not art or cultural artifacts, but any value they have lies completely in what mindless entertainment they can provide.
