I’ve always understood this site to be anti-gamer but for some reason I’ve always chosen to blind myself to the fact that many of you are just selfdepricating gamers.

You’re not really invested in the cause.

I feel like I’m in an Alcoholics support group and I’m the only one not drinking while you guys just hate on yourselves.

I feel like a clown, feeling supported by TRAITORS.

I stand alone with a double barrel shotgun surrounded by people double handing gamecube controllers what the FUCK

I occasionally play a video game but I am not a gamer.

There's a difference between playing games, one of many potential recreational activities, and internalizing the act of playing games as part of your identity.

Totally agree. That's my subtext actually.

There's a difference between huffing paint, one of many potential recreational activities, and internalizing the act of huffing paint as part of your identity.
