Yeah, because all those dumbfucks you see on twitter who probably don't even know how to grab a gamepad are fine...

Many men (and women) are not ok. They are either ignorant or evil (or both) enough to think that the middle age was a great time to be alive. And today, they are free to say it on the internet without the risk of being ostracized or ridiculed because "all opinions must be respected".
