The kind of people who like competitive video games -especially sports - are the same kind of jerkasses that used to bully actual fans of video games in the 80s-90s. So enjoy your busted-ass FIFA lol

Especiallyspecially in the 80's the "nerds and jocks" division was tangible. For jocks it was a social suicide to say they played video games or knew how to use a computer and nerds were beaten and bullied for being a member in the local computer club.

Jocks often had secret friendships with a nerd to play video games that they instantly denied if questioned.

So I understand where your hostility comes from, but still a little rough.

Here the setup broke down in the 90's when jocks started using computers to get to the early social medias, because nerds sisters were there. Sisters had taken interest what their nerd brothers were doing and saw the potential in chats and forums.
