I used to love playing online PC games but it has been about 20 years ago now. I remember back in the day in Counter-strike and similar games you would hear a lot of slurs and anti-gay insults, and it struck me as mostly idiot 12 year olds attempting to be edgelords.

Are legit racists now using games as a rally point or is it just seen as a pseudo anonymous place to say cringe edgelord shit like they did 20 years ago?

    There is definitely a large demographic of "What's wrong with fascism??" and "I think Hitler was a pretty cool guy" chuds in online games. People like Asmongold are just the most forward facing but they all have pretty similar beliefs.
