So I DELETED my barcade acct. I recieved just under 100 messages calling me the most VILE names you can imagine. Then a kid said I’m a "MARIO TRAITOR’" for putting shade on Super Smash Bros and Mario Kart. Then a guy anonymously threatened me - I invited him to Street Fighter 2 and a GAMER chorus called me a "steam tough guy." Then I was told I was not WELCOME there because I am a "XER" - and I’m poisoning the console war well because I am a "BOOMER XER." Ima reiterate that going ONLINE is the way to go for this thing. The barcade presence masquerading as GAMING is just 4CHAN.

I don’t NEED to do this. And my time is valuable to me. I’m not gonna dedicate time, effort, and assume some RISK frankly so that I can be told by millennials that I am a "BOOMER XER" for not liking NINTENDO and the Switch.

For CLARITY - I am NOT sensitive to being THREATENED/INSULTED. Happens CONSTANTLY - the barcade thing took me aback b/c I recieved a LOT of requests to game there. I DO so, and upon doing so, I’m deluged (from people on "GAMER NATION" purportedly) with the most VICIOUS insults I’ve ever heard - FAR more personal and bizarre than anything I recieve practically DAILY from PC RACE. THAT is what gave me pause. I’ll take care to NOT overreact in the future.
