The Heated Gamer

You know this person in real life, too, and you’d love to know where they were on January 6th. The Heated Gamer is almost always a cisgender man, almost always white, and almost always hurling racial epithets around like he gets paid by the slur. You cannot redeem this guy. This guy needs therapy. He needs a long, hard look in the mirror, at his relationship to his parents, at his search history. He should be banned from playing online for a solid year at least, and maybe he’s one of the 350,000 players who were banned from Call of Duty back in 2021 for being racist jerks. But just like herpes, he always comes back, oozing hatred like a weeping sore. Fuck this guy.
