100% this. It’s sad that they can’t seem to recognize that. And I’m someone who had no idea what the term enby meant before now either, but reading the comment it seemed like a pretty straightforward substitution of “I’m a simple man” so it didn’t even occur to me that it might be an uncommon term until I read their…

Yawn.

It says that I’m used to seeing folks be concern trolls when it comes to their bigotry towards nonbinary people and it’s exhausting to read multiple paragraphs of folks bending over backwards to justify said bigotry.

Aso yes, I'm aware that you said "simple man / woman" is just as odd.  You still wouldn't have posed this inquiry if I had instead went with that typical turn of phrase.

You got too stuck on this.

Maybe they were playing on that trope. Or being lighthearted/whimsical. Or both. More importantly, it feels great to have pride in your identity and to have it respected by people you interact with. Unlike the identities you mentioned, enby is less known and less accepted (your response…

The ven diagram of “But hello games lied” people and “people still play destiny" people is a circle. They're all the same person. 

Wow. Are there still people left in the “but they lied” crowd at this point?

I’d guess most streamers don’t do this and the ones that do and become successful, do so because of shit like this. Being a horrible person is mistaken for being edgy by a large segment of the population, gaming or otherwise.

Yeah but the problem is that other fuckwits are the ones supporting these type of people. 

If there ever was a topic that warrants a “STICK TO GAMES” rant it would be Garbage Tier Streamer Beef*

It’s not like Deadspin will cover it.
