    The 1990s: “Lol look at the LOSER and his VIDEO GAMES AND ANIME! Can’t you have COOLER hobbies!?”

    2010s to now: “Video games are RUINED because they’re alienating NORMIES like ME! I’m the standing authority on video games!”

    Go back to sportsball and shut the fuck up. You’re not a real nerd, you’re a failed frat bro. Stop trying to gentrify my hobbies.

      G*mers in the 90’s were relentlessly bullied by “normies” for being weird. Now the “weird” people are into games and the G*mers want to be the “normies” who used to oppress them. It’s one hell of a logic.
