Feels a bit of a weird take... One of the most liked, shared etc video game trailers of all time which is also the least white but because some percentage of people are goofs, gamers as a whole are evil?

It'd be like saying all the fediverse is tankie crazies because .ml exists.

I get we like our pitchforks and any attempt to villainize folks but this feels pretty thin.

Awful lot of incels welcome in every gaming community.

usually the crowd addressed as gamers in these things is the vocal racist and sexist and homophobic loud minority, the ones that still keep the spirit of gamergate going. obviously the text just mentions gamers, but sometimes you can be a bit charitable.

People who don't game basically only see that part because they're the ones getting their knickers in a twist and having public outbursts over ridiculous shit all the time. I think many refrain from gaming just because of that.
