Things that need to change for the better

Here's a question:

Why when people beat content they're "elitist", which is derogatory, but people who can't even get close to a win, why can't we say they suck? If you can think of a better term than "suck" feel free, like "incompetent" or something, but I don't get why people can get away with calling everyone elitist by default and then get all upset when the obvious conclusion is that they blow.

Reverse hypocrisy? (Does that even exist?) Idk, but good point lol.

Because people who have placed them self in the role of "underdog" feel they're the only ones with the right to say such things, would be my guess.

I've been called elitist for suggesting people improve their skills to overcome a challenge they were having trouble with, even though I hadn't yet overcome it myself and stated as much.

It's in the same "non-rebuttal" category as "go back to WoW".

Another would be simply that they're sore losers and need some kind of way to "get back" at those who have - for whatever reason, legit or otherwise - "crossed them". These days, someone calling another player "elitist" in gaming circles is basically on par with telling someone "Oh yeah? Well you're stupid!" as a response to a statement they can't otherwise rebut.
