Whether I am ranting about The “Gay"mer, or culture, or gaming-isms… it all comes down to the same shit. Be respectful. The reality is we can only change that within ourselves. But that is a good step.
And maybe when you want to be surrounded by self respecting/outward respecting people, then the changes happen, because those who don’t become the minority.
The attention craving, racism spewing, ignorant others, have to finally look in the mirror, one which the gaming culture is often happy to throw a sheet over for them in order to keep the group alive until the boss is dead.
