Why do gamers (tm) want to feel so oppressed/victimized?

[Dialectical Femboism]

Are gamers (tm) masochists? I don't understand why so many want to feel so oppressed. Being treated like your garbage just for existing is not a fun experience and would not recommend.

Sense of entitlement is more prevalent with gamers. They think they deserve more than what they are getting because they put their money into it, but most flat out forget to take into account the terms of service and agreements they accepted to when they use those services.

So at that point when they agree they handed off their rights to be anything more than a customer, at which point these groups gain power to make those changes however they see fit because the customers can't tell them otherwise.

Often i see users going on to a forum screaming that a game when free to play after they brought the game sometimes years before hand and demand to have a refund because the game is free. That's a typical example of a sense of entitlement some gamers have and when they can't get it, they feel like they are oppressed and want more of a say.

The generational status chronology is a method that originated more than 15 years ago, and was once popular, but over time it disappeared completely.
The original author, whose name has been forgotten, left behind a legacy that lives on through a few older members, so if the old chronology of generational status has disappeared
a new one was created and updated while respecting the author's original work.

It's a method of categorizing the value of each player based on several points, in particular the player's era and experience.
For example, a lot of young people who are into retro gaming or "arcade" games even though they're not from that era claim to have had the same experience as players who lived through the 70s and 80s.

This method considers these people as mirrors, and rejects any possibility for this generation to consider itself the equal of the first to have discovered video games in their very essence.

In short, it's what defines each individual's true status in the video game world.

One reason I stopped playing MP games and another reason why I will not help certain people online plus also why I tend to block people and stay away from certain Steam Forums - I have over 50K people blocked because of toxicity, spam, racism, etc... just from a few MP games alone over the years with one game being Valve's own "L4D2".

People call me things when helping people, some people have no manners or like to harm others for fun because it makes them feel better about their own poor life decisions.

And through this, it taught me the reason(s) why some people act on vengeance/revenge and do crazy things - it is from psychological abuse.

Gaming has had a volatile enviroment for years. Just go into any public lobby, I am not surprised this effects people's mindsets/views.

Weird, I'm friends with plenty of people who are gamers.

That saying must only mean that outside of the US.

[TGC> The Games Collector]

Because being a victim is popular and cool these days?

Haven't you seen anything of the oppressionlympics on the social medias?

Just for clarification, I never was in a foreign country. So you can drop the trolling and stalking behavior.

Gaming is a competition, that's how I viewed it.

Because that actually happens. Gamers are probably the most oppressed people on earth after transphobes or racists.
