Title is a reference to a recent Semi-Ramblomatic video by Yahtzee.

(post 1) ever notice how men critize games like animal crossing and stardew valley on the basis of "the entire game is just doing tasks" without recognizing that "kill bad guy" is also just a task but violent? (Post 2, Same User) "It's so boring all you do is talk to people and do tasks so you can buy new things" yeah and all y ou do is press a bunch of buttons to kill people so you can buy new things? perish (Post 3, same user) My activity page has not known peace since I made this post I have hundreds of insufferable gamers crawling up my pant legs now but luckily I have a secret up my sleeve... I too am a gamer man. I'm immune to the gamer venom. (Post 4, new user) This has the same energy as that post that's "Red Dead Redemption is just Barbie's Horse Adventure with Violence."

To play devil's advocate, for those types I suppose it's that there's active resistance to you accomplishing the (violent) task, as opposed to more relaxed games where that may not be the case. And if you want your tasks to task you, that's fine, but like, let other people enjoy what they like, it doesn't affect you whatsoever.

    That's not how social insecurity works. Every waking moment should be spent worrying about how other people percieve you, then taking actions on that to prove to them that you're fine, even though they dgaf or even notice you. You can't be the main character if you don't.
