This generation is exponentially worse. In the 2000s, most online interaction was civil and friendly. 90s kids are definitely more friendly than the zoomers.

I see he point he’s making. People need to let go and move on. Alot of people born post 90' are super sensitive and don’t know how to cope with reality and real life. Parents tend to over protect their children and that has created a generation of people who feel entitled and don’t know how to handle their feelings…

Appreciate your analysis but you got a few things wrong there.

Being harassed doesn’t necessarily mean you let it get to you.  

As a side note I also deal with assholes in this comment section on a regular basis too. It’s everywhere online, not just in games. But gaming is always the easy target for researchers or reporters uncovering whatever societal issues are gonna earn them some clicks.

WHAT?! CAN’T YOU READ?!?! This is the internet, kid, where every interaction is a battle! Get thick skin or GTFO! *RANDOM GRUNTING NOISES*

“I play games with fucking pieces of shit every fucking day and DO YOU HEAR ME COMPLAINING ABOUT IT?! NO! IT’S FINE! FUCK!”

Its a survey though so you don’t know if the respondents are being truthful or overly inflating something minor (party wipes someone says to healer “you’re a shitty healer”, the of we my.sentative healer feels bullied and harassed).

Well that’s dumb as fuck.

What kind of “reader” doesn’t read the article?

Nothing says “professional gamer” like playing on a fucking console with the crippled version of the game full of auto aim.

I don’t know that Kanye needs the white knighting but thanks 

You are Fucking joking?... I mean surely you’re Fucking joking. This guy is a Fucking blowhard and nothing more. He’s obviously got mental health problems and I hope that he gets them sorted soon, but other than that... Nothing to see  here apart from a guy with mental health problems.

Poopety scoop, binsy. Also, the new album is called Yandhi? For fucking real? Someone should really tell Kanye to finish that lobotomy he started with a couple of years ago.

Doesn’t take a genius to convince a bunch of lemmings to live and die by your every word. Look whose trademark hat this idiot has on.

Hey, I’m not fashionable, why don’t I have my own church, or my genius recognized?!

I went to evangelical churches as a kid, and they pretty much do. You never see those pastors get as worked up as they do when it’s time to pass the basket.

I’m telling you, those Megachurches are missing out on a huge income stream by not selling Indulgences. You could probably do it via an app these days.

It’s not that big of a deal. Carrying that cross up the mountain was a great work out.  Have you seen the guys abs!   Plus he was fine three days later.   

There was a kid in my third grade class who used to eat crayons. It wasn’t fashionable, but he was following his own muse.
