The majority of enthusiasts of

>music
>theater
>drawing
>cycling
>computer hardware
are elitist faggots, and
>cooking
>television
>literature
>programming
also attract quite a few of these, but gamers are mostly chill with the exception of a vocal minority of compfags and rgbfags

Are you pretending to be retarded?

Look at console wars and pc master race. Look at people who think they're super intelligent for playing niche indie games.

Literally everything about the fighting game community.

If you haven't noticed elitism in gaming, you must be extremely new. Fresh out the pussy.

>console wars
all in good fun
>pc master race.
vocal minority
>niche indie games.
Nobody plays this shit, you think earthbound clone #5674 is getting big sales
>fighting game community.
Nobody plays fighting games these days except smash bros

>some bitch says "tee hee I love anime I half remembered streaming a dubbed episode of hero academia while scrolling tiktok"
>actual fans tell her to fuck off
>this makes people like OP seethe

salty weeb proves my point

video game elitism died when the barrier of entry was completely removed by streaming. i'd say 90% of "gamers" just watch others play video games so of course they wont be elitist

seething weeaboo mad because people watch his cartoons in a way that's "not authentic"
lmao

Wrong

They do become elitist pricks though. Just look at the Fromsoft fanbase
>NOOOOOOOO YOU CAN'T USE THAT YOU WON'T BEAT THE GAME LEGITIMATELY THEN

You've literally just proved my point by so desperately trying to be absolutely correct about your entire statement. It's wrong and you're retarded. Video games are now a bigger industry then TV and film so of course it's packed with elitism. Console wars are not in good fun, people have literally killed eachother over video games before. That's how pathetic people can be. Stop being retarded.

elitist here, gaming as a hobby is unfortunately very appealing to retards, 95+% of gamers are tasteless retards including this board.

>gaming the only hobby where passionate enthusiasts don't become elitist pricks
Nigger what?

This entire board is contrary to your thesis. But gatekeeping is good in games, every single franchise gets worse when it tries to appeal to wider audiences.

I wouldn't say this is so catch-all. I've known people who get legit mad that you play games they don't like, or how you enjoy the hobby (speedrunning, trophy hunting etc.) or won't drop what you're doing to play a certain game.

In general though I'd say since gaming is a more seclusionary hobby people just do what works for them, and doj't give a shit about others, just enjoying games.

Because gamers are the most oppressed group of all.

You can't gate keep when the developers make the game more accessible to appeal to more people. You don't need to gate keep when developers don't compromise.

Do you know where you are?

I agree, I mostly have nothing to talk about when it comes to videogames with most people, they all just play absolute crap

I didn't ask tranny troon

soulsfags aren't gamers, they play video games not for fun but instead because they have no accomplishments in the real world

Lmao OP isn't even a real gamer. I've played tons of genres and many have awful fanbases and autistic wars. Everyone knows the spergy nerds are the most petty and violent of all and games attract spergy nerds. OP doesn't know shit.
