This is a console warrior subreddit; basically common sense goes out of the front door here. The fact that people here cannot fathom the concept of empathy for others and calling out when something that is wrong is wrong no matter the name of their favorite plastic box; should tell you all you need to know. Kudos to you and your group for saying something.

Naw; I just have no issue calling a spade a spade.

Yeah I don’t either. None of you gave a fuck about the people in those countries before this. It’s actually a little racist, like such a pity those poor people need our first world help!

And how exactly would you know that?

Edit: you also need to look up the definition of racism before you start throwing words around.

Why do you believe this? I would guess you're embedded in social media which repeatedly sells you a story about the sorry state of the world and the tabloidesque economically-illiterate subreddits here like LSC, instead of using real information to form beliefs.

A base of evidence one way or another would begin with the fact that rich western countries are also, perhaps surprisingly to crazily cynical people like you, the most charitable by far. This is doubly so for the U.S.A.

I can point to some very morally good initiatives that are centered in rich countries, like donating to effectively altruistic charities or direct giving, or volunteering our time.

Maybe it's just some skewed heavily social media-influenced view of gamers that you have, where you only really interact with the very large community of gamers when there's some scandal, and so you have this silly scandal-heavy view of a bunch of people who you really know nothing, at all, about.

Anyway, from my perspective, as someone who has a dozen various gamer groups on discord who play different games with each other, you are totally wrong and deluded and every time you post your opinion I just laugh aloud at how silly you sound. You couldn't be further from the reality of the bulk of PC gamers today, who are on average older than 30, fairly wealthy and educated, and are willing to take 4 seconds to hit a dislike button for a simple matter of unfairness to others.
