    “Gamers” are notoriously obnoxious shithead edgelords.

    Especially those playing competitive pvp games.

          If you say so, dude. Don’t let my pointing out that toxic condemnation of whole groups of People you know nothing about is no less toxic than the behavior being attributed to said group dampen the whole toxic condemnation vibe y’all got going.

            Any gamer who won’t admit that the competitive pvp crowd (namely fps and moba) aren’t toxic and prone to slinging slurs around is lying to themself. Obviously that doesn’t encompass anywhere near the entire fan base of those games, but we also can’t pretend it’s not an issue.

            Dude, I play games every day, and I read manga, manhwa, and manhua. There are tons of shitty attitudes, racism, bigotry, and misogyny I see everyday. Comment section I read just a few mins ago where the manhwa is discussing how dark magic isn’t really evil, a comment shows KKK image in an HH salute with the comment “I hate everything that’s dark.”

            I know lots of good people from those communities also, but they don’t defend the community like you’re doing. Admit it has a problem, even if you love it. Nothing is perfect, and so nothing is without problems. Pointing it out can help reduce those problems or let your fellow community members know you don’t find it funny or acceptable. If you just stick your head in the sand then claim “not all _______”, it’s equivalent to not acknowledging the issue and asking the rest of us to just accept it as is.
