 Ah yes 2000s nerd/weeb culture.
No HRT, no pronouns, no sex pest accusations, few/no smartphones, less gay drama, just a bunch of bros with shitty HP/Dell/Acer laptops having a good time playing some obscure video games

 >tfw born too early to experience this nerd culture at it's peak but also born in time to build up an immunity to the poz storm that would follow

It's so surreal how the 2000s or even early 2010s feel like an entirely different time, how swift the cultural revolution happened, and how trooned out and fake everything is online, which has the side effect of making many people ask "why should I bother".

 @Pawlicker The good old days of lugging around a 100 pound CRT and desktop tower to game at a friend's house.
