I think I'm pretty well-rounded and socially capable. I served 6 years in the army, 2 years in FD, and have been working on an ambulance as an EMT for the last year. I've been married and have a son, so to say I'm not well rounded is a funny assumption. Also, I grew up in the 90s and early 2000s. While I understand that being a gamer doesn't necessarily mean it's your identity, it was for me. My main point with this whole post was just to ask people to be nicer to one another, but I can see that's too much. Gaming just used to be such a huge part of me, and now I'm sad to see it has become something else. Call it a PSA or whatever, just was putting the message out there to my fellow gamers (meaning those people who call themselves gamers and identify as such, and isn't just a small hobby they do sometimes) as a reminder to treat each other respectfully because we all know we've been treated poorly enough in real life as it is. I never claimed much of what you said and I don't blame anyone else for anything bad in my life, I just want my hobby back from people who clearly don't hold it as dearly to them as I do. I mean if you were an avid basketball player, and more and more players were just total jerks and were making the sport unplayable, wouldn't you ask them to just try and play the game nicely? If it was making it less enjoyable for you? It's a simple message really, and an honest/polite request that people stop being so hateful. I didn't know that was asking so much.
