A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

I think it's better to check the source by yourself since it appears to be more sensitive than I expected.

Idk, it's sounds like you agreed with this point and I'm curious what your opinion was about it.

As I said, most of the points made in the video I didn't think about before, and I find it interesting to know other reasons why people play old games or are patient gamers, that's why I shared it here. I think the person is simply expressing her taste, maybe it's traditional stereotypes for some people, but you can't decide of your tastes, I didn't find it hateful. Now people who defend trans people found this video offensive, which I was miles away from expecting, and many people decided to jump on this wagon and decided this is a hateful post based on prior comments without watching the video. Also as I said other places, I am not knowledgeable in trans defense, so maybe it's possible they are correct.

You're the only person to mention trans people in this thread. It's got nothing to do with trans folk...

decided this is a hateful post based on prior comments without watching the video.

I had to watch the video to see her dog whistle.

And the whole thing about red flag/dog whistle comments is that they're designed to seem like nothing to people who don't recognise them. You not recognising a dog whistle doesn't mean it isn't one...

The fact that she shouts out another steamer that was banned from twitch for bigotry isn't a co-incidence. It's a red flag for a reason

Still waiting for the lost feminity you mentioned about.
