I used to love playing online PC games but it has been about 20 years ago now. I remember back in the day in Counter-strike and similar games you would hear a lot of slurs and anti-gay insults, and it struck me as mostly idiot 12 year olds attempting to be edgelords.
Are legit racists now using games as a rally point or is it just seen as a pseudo anonymous place to say cringe edgelord shit like they did 20 years ago?
There is definitely a large demographic of “What’s wrong with fascism??” and “I think Hitler was a pretty cool guy” chuds in online games. People like Asmongold are just the most forward facing but they all have pretty similar beliefs.

Those 12 year olds are now middle aged, but doing the same behavior
Well yeah, everyone is 12 now.
