Men are fine, the "Gamer" culture is toxic

Just go to any multiplayer FPS game, and you have right wing shit in the chat. 🤦‍♂️

Please.

Just go to any place and you have right wing shit in the chat/comments/etc. 'Gamers' aren't any more toxic than the average population.

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".
