Probably a part of I-never-play-games cult. Seems to mean something for them.

      I can comply if the same rule is applied to the passive-aggresive cult remark above. But if it's not, I say no to double standards. In fact, my original remark didn't (yet) revealed much details and reasoning about my view on gaming, but of course it suggested that it's quite a topic. I would expect that it could be an introduction to a civilized talk about the topic - while accusing me of being in a cult is certainly not. That's why also I said the guy was triggered. If he was not, the correct reply to my remark, even if he disagreed with the premise, would be sth like "what do you mean"

        I apologize and s/cult/club/. That said, I comment as I feel reasonable and don’t try to meet expectations on conversation structure that much. You never replied to anyone itt who did, despite them never mentioning anything remotely aggressive.

        That's fair, thank you and I accept this. And you know, "club" is a totally different word. I would be even kind of proud of having such a label :) As for my lack of broader answer, didn't yet have time for it and I would really like to address few things, and then this subthread happened, well, let's move on..

    I’m not triggered at all. I don’t even understand what that means for them cause every interaction ended in no explanation besides some weird remarks.

      Not GP, but it seems like you are assuming the worst in the author simply because they are outspoken about not playing video games. That's what eliciting these reactions.
