make out with the host with your girlfriend watching then call it even and move on

i mean yeah when ur behind a screen people feel empowered to say whatever they want even if its racist, homophobic, etc. Plus everyone I know who identifies as a "gamer" either never goes outside or has pretty poor social skills. People who play games but are normal don't really refer to themselves as gamers bc in real life people who don't play games associate it with weird, toxic behavior like the article described.
