i’ll start. i saw a ask reddit post saying something along the lines of “men of reddit whats something women can’t understand” and the comments were just. oh my god. the main one that made me want to puke was “when dudes walk by each other and nod” and the whole fucking thread was just fedoras with arms soypogging like it was some secret language or something. “when you nod upwards, it means respect!!!1!!11 when you nod downwards its aggression!!!1!11!!!” as if women dont do the same shit.

do you guys have something similar to share?

    The way gaming subreddits talk about devs. /r/pathofexile is full of some of the most entitled g*mers in the platform, which is obviously a bold claim. Minor bug on release day? Mobs dealing too much damage to your character that you rushed through the campaign and early maps with no gear? Worse performance (which is probably just your PC recompiling shaders, and it’s gonna end up running the same or better than before)? The devs are clearly useless, China is ruining the game, they hate the players, etc etc.

    It’s obviously not as bad as how racist and chauvinist other subs get, but it’s very cringe to get so worked up over an online PVE game. Get a grip.

      Oh man, the Tencent truthers on that subs are so annoying

      The trade purists are also another particularly annoying subset on that reddit

        Hahah yeah the way they compare SSF players to vegans is so accurate, but in the opposite way than what they meant. In fact, I’m pretty sure I’ll go SSF next league, last league I got 2 mirrors and the game felt so incredibly meaningless at that level of wealth. greensicko-laser

      I’m following a game that is in alpha, with the latest build just beig release under the name [EXTREMELY EXPERIMENTAL AND UNFINISHED.]

      Lo and behold the subreddit is full of nerds complaining about the FREE ALPHA INDIE GAME having minor bugs.

      The way they complain about it is so overdramatic and petty too. “The dev are lazy/ don’t give a shit!”
