We are then told that players who don't reach some arbitrary gaming standard should quit the game. And all this is perfectly polite and fine?

But I push back against this elitism and you have a problem with the way I talk? Is there a particular word that has caused offense? Is it "damn"? I'm not clear how that would make me abnormal.

Should I pepper my prose with "Lol! Lmao, even!" so it conforms to current standards? Is that how "normal people talk"?

Okay.

"Normal people don't talk like this"!!!

Lol.
Lmao, even.
For what it's worth, I tend to agree.

I mean, as I said in my previous post (a few pages ago) - as hard as it is to admit here, I'm really not very good at the game. And the reason it's so difficult to admit is that making said admission on a forum where the general response to anyone who doesn't think the game is a cakewalk is "the game is too easy", "get gud" or "skill issue".

Hell, in terms of what you say about "players who don't reach some arbitrary gaming standard" -

That was a (Discord) message I received from someone I thought was a friend following an instance of I don't remember what. And whilst that was a more elaborate example, it certain wasn't the first - or last - time I received a message of that nature. I'd be lying if I claimed it happens often, but it happens more than 'never'.
