I need to vent otherwise, I feel like I'm going to have a mental breakdown.
Right now my Brain feels like it's going to explode due to all of the abuse I had to endure reading posts of people thrashing me over the years because I liked Andromeda, DA2, Fallout 3, the Star Wars Prequels etc. I've endured years of abuse of being flung racial slurs, death threats, and insults everywhere just because I dared to like expensive pieces of entertainment. What is it with people's unwillingness to accept the fact that people like different things? Why in the world do they have to resort to threats and insults just to bring down?
I remember Dragon Age 2 being my first ever Bioware game. The game affected me and was one of the games made me realize the potential of storytelling in video games. I remember laughing with the characters and was deeply affected by the twists and turns of the game. I went to the Dragon Age Wiki and saw nothing but people hurling abuse at DA2 players calling them cultists, telling them to get out the Wiki as they are not welcomed. There were even people who were calling an artist who drew Hawke and Morrigan having a romance to have his hands chopped off because he DARED to paint Hawke in a positive light.
I hated the DA wiki for the way they've treated DA2 fans all those years some of those people were scum and I'm glad I left. With Andromeda we all know the wars that was waged here I won't elaborate. But recently I keep getting involved in fights on this site because for too many years I've always been on the defensive because I've held unpopular opinions that the masses of gamers don't share. Especially on this site, it was to the point where I've questioned my self if I was a gamer or not? Was I an EA bot like a certain user told me a year ago? I was at my breaking point to the point where It affected my real life as well.
The distractions, the stress, everything because of the dumb engagements I've had over the years. I questioned who I was because I didn't like The Last of Us, certain things in TW3. To think all this happened because I've been sucked into the stupid war of people taking video games way too seriously.
I don't know anymore, I'm just tired of being judged but I'm told to get a thicker skin. But what does that say to the people who hurl abuse? When will they stop?
In hindsight this is probably the reason for my creative slump, my brain can't function if I'm in a battle with myself.
