  1. I'm not a gamer, at all, but these spats within the community are a microcosm of the larger society. Part of the POINT of gaming (back when I still did games and sports) is that black, white, skinny, fat, you all talk shit to one another on a totally equal plane, and all that matters is being a (the) better player (and being a good sport, and preferably being a little vulgar). So the SJW stuff must grate on the serious gamer crowd. What's great about gamers (from what I've seen) is they don't pull any punches, and they'll call you out. In the larger society, I don't think we see that same level of meritocracy. Part of sports and gaming for me was the shit-talking. Dishing it out AND taking it was part of being accepted as one of the guys - as true equals, even though there's always somebody who's a little better than the next guy. Cry-babies not allowed in that world. Feel free to tear me down, because I do NOT know much about gaming. Wolfenstein was the 1st and last RPG I ever played, on a PC running either a late Windows 3.x or Win '95 PC with a 12-inch screen. LOL! I definitely get the addiction, and I could see getting sucked right back in. Just decided life was too short to fall back into it. I'd be doing it 12 hours a day, probably. Like an alcoholic afraid to take a drink.
