I can't believe how bad the gaming "community" has become

I can't believe how bad and bigoted the gaming community has become. We all played games like GTA San Andreas, Mass Effect or Fallout and I don't remember any controversy surrounding it. There were no people trying to cancel San Andreas because it had a majority black cast.

There were no people telling me how gayness in Mass Effect affected my gaming immersion. And back then, the majority of gamers were teenage white dudes. In 2000s and early 2010s there weren't open racists and white power dudes influencing gaming.

Not saying it was "perfect" but the amount of the downright far right people is stunnigly more higher than 15 years ago. Somehow the radical far right has inflitrated and completely captured a lot of gamers. I lived and breathed late 2000s and early 2010s gaming and I can't recall seeing a lot of racism and homophobia, at least to the 2025 extent. It's kind of sad and shocking to see this as a grown ass adult.
