He was one of the founding hosts of G4, the old video game Channel. Worked in the video game industry for decades, says he isn't a gamer, and hates all his fans

He's generally not wrong when he criticizes gamer culture as being entitled, but he definitely comes off as unhinged about it. Like he just spends literally all day bitching on Twitter. That's not good or healthy.

Also RGT is reactionary and clickbaity anyway, so that's not much better.

It's hard to blame him. I often joined online community expecting people to share my love of the games I love, but it seems people join these communities to hate the games they play
"Hating the games they play" is basically the best case scenario for stuff gamers hate these days.

What is a capitol G gamer?
from Urban Dictionary (the link was too long):

Noun.

A self-styled "hardcore gamer" who proliferates the excesses of gaming culture, including its issues of elitism and bigotry against marginalized groups, and who stands opposed to the normalization of video games for a mass-market audience.

Although Gamergate has provided a unifying ideal for them, and has amplified their presence on the internet, Capital-G Gamers have existed since Nintendo Entertainment Systems were found in the boys' toy aisle, in the form of webcomic authors, arcade bullies, and internet forum posters who reject efforts to cater to the female playerbase--among countless other forms.

I assume those are people who wear it like a title and revolve their life around gaming. Those kinds of people definitely seem to be lacking in social awareness.

Adam is a psycho if he thinks the punch story makes him look good. The kid didn't vote. His parents did. And the kid can't be blamed for agreeing with the vote when he is in 1st grade. 1st graders know nothing about politics other than what their parents tell them

If anything, that punch locked the into being a lifetime Republican. He might have started having his own views later but being beaten up by a psycho liberal would turn him away from ever considering a Democrat vote in any election

When I was a kid I dnt even know the difference between Republicans and Democrats. I knew my parents were Republican but I had no idea what meant, nor did I care

I remember telling some girls in 7th grade my parents were Republican and they laughed and I was confused

I dont know what would have happened if some grade school bully had beaten me up for my parents voting habits

I mean, it feels like he's swimming in a pool of semantics and personal definitions to purposefully piss people off?

Like, a running theme I see in a bunch of tweets of his I just read is that he's making sure to include ALL gamers in his hate. Like if someone says, but gamers with an asterisk, right? He'll go, no, ALL GAMERS. He really really really wants to nail in that ALL GAMERS are stunted, stupid, horrible people and insults them in the worst way possible.

But then he says he's playing Fallen Order.

Sooo...is he including himself in his hate?

But of course not! He's using a definition of "gamer" that is his own, supposedly.

But wait...that would be an asterisk on the word gamer, which he repeatedly shuts down as no, no asterisk, ALL GAMERS.

But then he still casually enjoys and plays games.

I just don't get it. It's like he wants to have his cake and eat it too. It seems like he's just insulting that corner of people who play games who are obviously terrible people, but when people bring that concept up, he assures them that no, he truly despises all forms of gamers. But then he plays video games himself, which makes him a form of gamer.

Like, what about my 75 year old mom who plays wordle? She's a gamer with an asterisk. But no, no asterisks. All gamers suck, period. My mom sucks.

I honestly just don't understand.

I suppose if this were a tweet, this is when he would retweet it and say that's because I'm a neanderthal or something.
