Hardcore gamer = someone who plays only cinematic grizzed white dude games and/or military fetishizing FPS

Casual gamer = anyone that is not a 15-25 yo male, and/or plays anything outside of the previously mentioned games, especially if those games are colorful.

So basically the gaming community is full of gatekeeping, misogyny, toxic masculinity and general chuddery. They make sure they're the loudest voice heard when anything about games is talked about, and won't be happy until all games a homogenous stream of bland, hyper-realistic but with a grey filter slog of mindless action with no heart or soul. And don't you dare force them to read any dialogue or story.

    Epic freeze-gamer isn't funny to me. It's sad and bleak to me.

    My most recent previous run in with an Epic freeze-gamer involved such infantile rage over me saying maybe Mortal Kombat artists shouldn't have to watch gore/snuff films and experience trauma just to keep their jobs that I was told (CW: suicide, gore)
