I am so done with TIMs in video games.
I know that's a place where they most often hang around, and especially playing in a seemingly far left leaning environment it's just something you gotta learn to deal with.
And despite having my chat turned off, I lack the self control to really not check it when they're around (it's completely invisible unless I press enter). Conversations about their girl dicks, girl nuts and how they wanna suck each other off, because that's what lesbians do. UwU It's a real girl moment! Teeheehee >///<
Just today there was a TIM talking for what seemed to be during pretty much my whole session (nothing new, they always do that). At some point someone asked whether he was trans and he excitedly exclaimed "Despite having she/her pronouns in my name you didn't assume so from the beginning? There is hope!". Immediately a few based gamers went against him by claiming that "it's obvious" and "couldn't you tell? he's craving attention". So there is no hope for him, lol. They stick out like sore thumbs and are completely oblivious.
Eventually, the conversation stirred towards trans kids and detransitioners, during which he seemed to have gotten pretty upset, especially at the exclamation that his idea of detransitioners being less than 1% is completely delusional. I was trying to ignore the conversation and eventually left the server in hopes to preserve my own sanity, but I am glad that the rest weren't going along with his bullshit. They have peaked.
I have not said anything during that exchange, because I don't think politics have a place in games. I really, really think that, and it's the only reason why I haven't put #IstandWithJKRowling in my gamer tag lol. It is SO tempting with the amount of TIMs I encounter though. Can you imagine: a bunch of women gamers turning up with these tags in places like that! It sounds like a wet dream.
I am so, so, so tired of them. I can't even pretend to be neutral anymore; I DESPISE them. I hate that whenever they're around, the conversation turns towards transness. Lesbians. Furries. Dicks! If nothing else, mindless spamming on their keyboards. How do we not let it GET to us?
Sigh. Thank you for listening to my rant. I think I will go meditate now to ease my mind. ಠ_ಠ
