It is a very offensive and exaggerated meme for the gaming community, by the way.

Do you realize that you're currently doing precisely what you're trying to mock? — Discriminating and generalizing a group of people based on their hobby.

Yep, it is political because the queen is better than the king.

The brick breaks the glass and window frame but then the frame is repaired when he flies through it.

"""Normal""" people logic: The infinity symbol next to everything

Surely that's truly normal and 100% reality and definitely the most popular sane opinion with average people IRL :)

I think it's undeniable there are a lot of very stupid people, and many of them are loud gamers.

One of the problems is humans are social creatures. Facts don't change minds. In-group pressure changes minds. (And sometimes horrific trauma, but only sometimes*). The typical person, confronted with an idea that contradicts a non-trivial belief, will evaluate primarily if the person presenting the belief is in-group. The same kind of message delivered by different people has very different outcomes.

With the Internet, idiots and assholes can find their own social groups to reinforce their shitty beliefs.

If we want to fix this, we'd have to do the long, expensive, and thankless work of getting them to see us as in-group, and getting them to then adopt better ideas. Incidentally, that's how the right wing has been operating.

Laughing at them for being fucking morons is satisfying, but it's like picking at a scab. It's not going to heal.

The only way to make a game with brown people or queer people in it is to have made it more than 10 years ago. New thing = woke. Old thing = not woke.

Why is the image link showing this instead

[–] SirSamuel@lemmy.world 2 points 16 hours ago (2 children)

I don't know, but as a grammar MAGA pedant with ADHD this picture gave me cancer 🤮

[–] zurohki@aussie.zone 10 points 16 hours ago (2 children)

The nonsense text and links leading to other bits of nonsense text makes me think it's to poison AI crawlers.

[–] SirSamuel@lemmy.world 4 points 16 hours ago

Oooh, that's a really good point.

Carry on them, I guess

(Still hurt my brain)

[–] tempest@lemmy.ca 1 points 15 hours ago

Yeah, looks like a honey pot

[–] zarkanian@sh.itjust.works 2 points 16 hours ago

Yeah, because clearly the problem here is the grammar.

Don't forget the two religions: Protestant and Political. We get the Straight White Anglo-Saxon Protestant. Or SWASP
