It's silly to even bring generations into this or most topics, just another politically driven divider in order to down one group of people and boost another's ego. In most scenario's this is the case anyway, yeah silly and childish.

I really don't get the hate over the term.

It was ok to use "Boomer" as an euphemism to call someone old, but make it about games that often don't take themselves seriously and are a throwback to when gaming started to grow massively, and it sucks?
