So I was watching JoeFromSeattle and he basically has an observation/theory from repeatedly interacting with these people on Twitter.
... They literally do not count themselves as 'gamers', they use the word to identify others.
These are the people who buy Madden/FIFA every year, every COD, every Battlefield, and assume everyone does that, to the point of projecting it without realizing it and then not believing you if you say you didn't do that as well.
... they are very often illiterate, cannot understand sentences above roughly Grade 5 complexity, always assume they are correct and work backwards to attempt to form a justification for whatever they've decided is corrrect.
... they're morons.
Like just... complete fucking morons.
And that's not an insult, its simply accurate.
It's always fun going through Facebook marketplace and seeing consoles for sale with their "game collection" which is just 10 boxes with the yearly iterations of FIFA and CoD.
