 Nothing is more satisfying than watching a random gaming streamer gain more views and audience than mainstream media. 

Media has consistently been hostile to the gaming community, initially portraying us as psychopaths for engaging in alien-killing games. 

Even now, they can't discuss the gaming community without resorting to stereotypes in every line. 
 I'm sure some of them seem more manufactured or something, wouldn't surprise me if it's mainstream media adapting 🤔 
 Their arsenal has increased, where now it's:
"You're a psycho/murderer"
"You're a sexist"
"You're a racist"
"You're a X-phobe"
"You're a pedo"
