baffled people think I'm mad and not just shouting an exasperated "why are gamers like this" while listening to frank sinatra's 'my way' and sipping a bepis

"you didn't get the game" look, you liking the game because you have no media literacy does not make you an expert

Oof, was this necessary?

Given the number of people trying to be smug and saying I didn't get it, yeah. Plenty of reasons to enjoy in, but if the reason is rooted in not understanding/deliberately misunderstanding it, it's a bad reason

"you didn't get it, if you got it you would like it" is a bad perspective imo

Agreed, but so is “you’re not media literate, if you were you wouldn’t like it” which is how a lot of this comes across

That's not the intent. I see how it can be read that way, but given that someone tried to invalidate my PTSD and literal expertise to try to argue I don't understand the game, I'm not so compelled to be precise in all my words

I’m sorry they did that — that wasn’t fair at all. Just a heads up that it *is* being interpreted that way, and by folks who don’t think at all badly of you or your expertise.
