When a very loud group of people has the intent of defaming you by any means necessary, including labeling your fandom as degenerates, you owe a certain duty to tell them all to shut up. These people will have the gall to dress up their hatred as outrage towards an infringement upon their own rights even. They will mischaracterize you as someone who has nothing to offer except subservience to a cause that reeks of questionability. If you don't meet their quota, then you are as good as garbage, stealing your own narrative and writing your own story for you.

These are the "gamers."

They believe themselves to be an oppressed minority. Raised on a excessive diet of competitiveness found in the likes of their favorite first-person-shooter or fighting game, gamers set the bar so high for themselves as to be totally impossible to reach. Satisfaction is a dream that is the farthest away.

The concept of fun no longer registers if it ever did, and fun is rarely found in making sure everything is within such a narrow understanding of perfection.

What matters most to the gamer are the most subjective set of rules. Graphics, controls, the mere technical aspects appear to be the only things that will appease the gamer. We want it done this way, and we will only accept it if it is done this way, otherwise you are a born failure. Try as one might to adhere to those "rules," gamers themselves cannot even remain true to them to save their lives, for they constantly change.

They are people to pity.

Fun is found in the color and personality of the characters. The fun character will know that life is the trek and not the destination. Fun is found in the manner in which the character goes through this trek whether it be cheerfully slow and steady or radically at the speed of sound. Fun is found in relationships where you have a buddy you can always count on. There may be times of disagreement, but this is simply another story that wants to be told, and there is always another new chapter even after one book closes.

Fun gamers understand that anything can happen.

Other gamers restrict what happens.

Other gamers are in it for the gain.

Fun gamers are in it for the game.
