So to start off, I love the meme about gamers being oppressed and it is by far my favorite meme to ever be made but in a less severe way gamers are actually pretty oppressed.

Like for example a while ago my mom started to believe that I would actually be a school shooter because I played call of duty and she was pretty obvious that she didn’t trust me, which I kind of made me loose my relationship with her l, since how am I suppose to think of a person as a good mom when they actually believe I was capable of shooting up a school just because I played black ops 2 or even overwatch?

But besides that examples gamers have been actually targeted by the US government when the official White House YouTube channel posted a video about the violence in video games, which they didn’t say anything about it but it was pretty obvious they were trying to make the correlation that violent video games makes you a violent person, and the idea that the thing run by the government would attack a certain group of Americans. Just try to think about this scenario and instead of going after gamers they went after black people or Jews, it would undoubtedly cause mass riots across the country, but when they attack gamers all we get is a small segment on Phillip deFranco and a bunch of jokes about it, which I’m happy the internet agrees with us but in person that isn’t the case.

My final argument however is the fact that most minorities can get away with being racist to white people and getting away with it unscratched, but whenever a gamer says the N-word (which for the most part we’re not even talking about black people, but just people who annoy us) all hell will break loose. Like seriously we’re trying to change the word from something that’s racist to something that’s just another insult. Shouldn’t we be praise for being progressive?

I know this comes off as weird but I just want to live in a world where gamers can be accepted into the light and don’t have to hide behind a gamer tag over fear of being miss treated by the outside world. So please take me seriously since I really do want to see the world improve for the betterment of gamers and everyone else.
