There's no "we" here. I'm only a gamer in a strictly technical sense, namely that I play computer games.
In every other meaningful sense, I'm wholly disconnected from the industry and from mainstream gamers and gaming culture. The Codex is nearly my sole window into gaming news and what's going on in Popamole Land, I've never played even a single mobile game in my life, I only skim off the richest cream of the console crop (I'll buy a console after it's been out for years to play the handful of games that are genuinely worthwhile), and I'm extremely choosy about multiplayer games. Most of the games I enjoy are prestigious old skool affairs or their genuinely worthy successors, which is why we're all fucking here to begin with.
I don't feel any sense of membership or responsibility to the tribe known as "gamers."
Realistically, mainstream gamers have a built-in defense to SJWs: indifference. The best way to deal with SJWs is to not pay them any attention at all. The sole reason SJWs are currently causing problems is simply because some people don't follow this rule and actually take SJW gibberish seriously.
There's a 10 billion-post megathread about Gamergate in the gaming subforum and you'll find I have fewer than half a dozen posts in it, because the fact is that gaming "journalists" and SJW game developers were never going to produce anything of value anyway, so no great loss. That ouroboros will finishing eating itself, just give it time.
Yeahyeahyeah, I've heard you spout this nonsense before about how you're all better than the rest of us because of this or that pointless reason that you think is so important.
Your inverted form of virtue signalling isn't fooling anyone, and your denial is only fooling yourself. You're a regular poster on the Codex, therefore you're also a gamer. The handful of posters here that are actually exempt from that are also clinically insane.
Now shut up and get back to it.
