This is obviously just my experience but the younger generation is not inclusive at all, kind of the opposite. At least around the north east US where I have lived.

I work in a kitchen. I often have food runners, hosts and dishwashers who are under 18. They're extremely uncool sometimes.

Yeah.

Kids are jerks. They’re naive. I certainly was; I think that’s always been a thing, though I can’t comment on how much worse or better it’s gotten.

Yeah, I was a little shit too.

Not universally for sure, Gen-Z men are especially problematic. But the sweaty dudes have become a minority of gamers, and I would expect broad-stroke "gamer" world views to reflect the influx of other demographics.

That's what I'd like to see more of in this research. Cut it by age cohort, gender, income, genres of game, years in the hobby, etc...
