malyg's post is just a famous copypasta. I believe it originated on Reddit, but I'm not 100% sure.

Stop embarrassing yourself by trying to defend gutter trash and maybe you'll save your reputation as a gamer.

I think the gamers that are trying REALLY hard to make themselves a culture

"I STAY UP ALL NIGHT GAMING

REPOST IF YOU"RE A TRUE GAMER"

is fucking cringey as hell

but when they're not doing that, its fine to ID yourself as a gamer

I don't see any situation where someone calling themselves or really mention the word "gamer" doesn't automatically make me think less of that person.

Why can't I make it part of my identity? If you care about something enough, shouldn't it be part of your identity?

To be serious, an identity based on what you consume is definitely okay in general, but it can lead to problems if you're not really mature about it. You just have no control over the stuff that defines your identity, unlike your job, your looks, your ideas, etc.

So when the people who define your identity (creators and businesses and even journalists etc) do something you don't like, you feel like it's a personal attack, ruining your identity. Like they are puppeteering you and you're helpless.. Except you are the one who attached the strings to them.

A lot of people know how to avoid that but a LOT of people in consumer culture fall into that, especially in nerd culture and sports. It's really easy to do.

Saw this gem today from a notoriously dopey dev about the U.K. coming after lootboxes

https://twitter.com/grummz/status/1142040018313105408?s=21

If gamers don't start seeing the dangers to their hobby coming, and just start using it to trash Epic and EA, we risk losing a larger battle with regulators.

In the past, game journalists helped push back on this stuff as allies. Now they could care less. It's up to gamers.
