Jim was 100% right. But people can't help themselves, they *want* to be normies and fit in.

My hot take is that Leigh Alexander's original article ("Gamers are dead") was right, and I agreed with her at the time.
People are pathetic, why do they want to be identified as a label? "Gamer" is a marketing category, it's not an identity. Everyone who takes these things on as their identity is a smooth-brained consoomer. You enjoy playing video games, you are a human being, but you are not a marketing demographic, you are not a "gamer". Well, at least you shouldn't *want* to be.
