\nCan someone explain to me how we got to gamer being a sexual archetype of male golden-hearted innocence , ala \u201cgolden retriever gamer boy\u201d( the new stereotypical man for a bi woman to date according to tik-tok) , like we went from gamers being childish in a violent mean spirited way to being synonymous with misogynistic nerds to this? How do streamers factor in? Are video games such a ubiquitous hobby now that all it signals is \u201c introverted and sorta masc?\u201c as oppose to sporty and extroverted?, is then an indirect autistic fetishization thing? Like manic pixie dream girl? I feel like I\u2019m out of the loop , I feel like I missed a couple steps.
@kontextmaschine this seems like a you thing,
Thru some combination of just getting old and not making the jump to the post-text internet I’m not in touch with the youth anymore enough to be picking up on this
