Gamer is the modern term for those who are connoisseurs of games, particularly video games.

Studies on the other, shit end of Gamerdom

Gamers who comprise the bad end of the fandom of video games are of a more insufferable and intolerable nature.

They are usually known by these traits online, and not limited to:

  • Caucasian, male, early teens into their thirties
  • Anti-social behavior
  • Resentful tone
  • Passive Aggressive attitude
  • Confrontational disposition
  • A self entitled sense of elite standing
  • Forms of humor rooted in sarcasm, being "snarky", and/or dark humor
  • Speech that come out in a ranting and/or whining fashion
  • Off hand off topic racism, especially directed to Japanese people
  • A general degree of pathos-less unrelatable unpleasantness

These traits usually stem from a lack of self esteem, ill natured upbringing from years of bullying and a lack of self respect, and a vast degree of ignorance brought on by their environment and upbringing. Their demographics also branch into other categories of people and subcultures, especially neckbeards.

Overall, these kinds of Gamers are the ones that usually give any other connoisseurs of video games a bad name. They do not just comprise of average people, but to those that have joined various video game related publications and news sources, those that host sites dedicated to various favored series, and those of /v/ on 4chan.

While these traits are not unique to the worst of video game fans (the worst of fans exist in any fandom), it is due to the unusual degree of unpleasantness that gamers get the attention of Lurkmore and its researchers.

The relations between frustrated Caucasian males and video game hobby enjoyment

Throughout the world, there is one known subculture that represents those who seek out academic and/or other pursuits that are not very "mainstream". These are known as nerds and geeks.

Particularly in the Western world, Caucasians have it worse in this regard if one is into "geeky" and "nerdy" things. Outside of those who have it better and are actually people, this part in particular goes into the opposite end. It only gets better here.

Frustrated Caucasian male nerds and geeks usually are pitted against that which their society praises as worthwhile and desirable, with them not feeling superior in return. On top of that, they also face ostracization and harassment from those that abuse their positions in society. Clinging to an instilled academia enforced sense of loyalty to abusive but necessary forces, they then engage in that which they think allows them favor and impression to opposition. This, unfortunately, doesn't work.

Rather than become the omega wolf, learn more about the world, and come to uprise against their oppressors to do better and be better people than them, a vast majority of these Gamers usually eke their time online, venting their frustrations and indulging in whatever inane pleasure inducing pasttimes, including discussions and disputes of superiority, from video games to ethnic races, and spending time on sites relevant to their interests to make them feel like they belong and have a sense of community than the outside world.

Truly, this phenomenon will become the bane of Western civilization as we speak. Carry on, world!

Examples of shit gamerdom

The Spoony Experiment

An ugly, jew nosed piece of shit whose mouth is bigger than his brain. He embodies a lot of traits above, and markets it in video form to likeminded masses. Was once a part of That Guy With The Glasses before hoping to have sex forcibly with a coworker serial killer style.

Top Ten Lists of "Worst Gamers"

It's very ironic that the pot calls the kettle black and proclaims itself as the true scotsman, especially when the worst of gamers tend to give examples and end up as one of their own.

Creators and followers of Top Ten lists are always the biggest offenders of this, as while they often note nuisances and other examples, those that usually fight monsters end up as one without a sense of self reflection, as they will always show the traits that define a bad video game fan, and create nothing but clickbait out of their ass. It's like they're usually hiding something, and it's often the fact it's usually the writers are up there with the worst kinds of gamers.

G4's X Play

X Play was the 2000's attempt to make video games more "cool" and "hardcore" to the masses by providing inane reviews just as good as anything found on Kotaku and IGN through a TV show. They also encouraged outside hobby discrimination and territorialism for their audience.
