A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

These are very common talking points of gamer gate bigots. It's a giant red flag, because the people who talk about it are bigots
I think you may have a a specific experience that makes this very common for you. I personally don't interact with those subjects much, so I didn't know. Thank you for sharing your view.
Gamergate is not a very specific circumstance. It was a widespread harassment campaign involving the entire industry. This is a follow on from that movement, and any game that releases a female protagonist that isn't soft and demure gets active push back from this group.
Pretty prejudiced take. Like in the literal sense of the word.
She shouts out a racist who was banned from twitch for bigotry, so I'd say it's pretty spot on as a red flag.
