You’re not really invested in the cause.
I feel like I’m in an Alcoholics support group and I’m the only one not drinking while you guys just hate on yourselves.

are the ones that get really mad at people for not being hardcore enough or for not making every waking moment of playing a game a performative act of suffering and chewing glass.
