    I could have been wrong about that, then.

    My personal experience involved not hearing "entitled" used in a "stop being so entitled" way until post Mass Effect 3. Maybe it was simply sheer chance that I didn't.

    Yahtzee was mostly okay and became more okay over time compared to the rest of The Escapist, but that was still a bad call on his part.

        But like I just had to look up the phrase “Rush Limbaugh Entitlement” on google to get a whole list of insane arguments rooted specifically in trying to attack some notion of a “culture of entitlement”.

        Did :frothingfash: call those uppity poors "entitled" as a summary adjective back then?

        Maybe they did. I genuinely don't know.

            Huh. I was alive back then, but where I was with the people I grew up around, the key words were racial slurs, "low life," or "welfare queens."

            Maybe I just had a peculiar and specific variety of chud environment that didn't hear "entitled" as a :frothingfash: adjective until much later.

                :freeze-gamer: only picked up what was already there and ran with it and boosted its signal, then.

                :capitalist-laugh: bad thing is in game

                :wall-talk: talk about bad thing in game

                :wojak-nooo: "Stop being so entitled! If you don't like (microtransactions/loot boxes/battle passes/no accessibility options), you can leave!" :bootlicker:
