    I posted my first win of Enter the Gungeon on the relevant subreddit and it people were convinced I was cheating/lying because I had low max hp (meaning I didn’t flawless victory the minibosses) and I was given a warning and the posted was deleted by the mods.

    Extra one: I used to have to walk past a clinical trial facility that would commonly have people stay for 2 weeks or so to be monitored while they were part of the trial. You weren’t allowed to smoke but people would always be out in their little yard asking for cigarettes. As I was turning the corner one day there were three guys watching for someone to bum one off of and one say me and said, “Aww fuck he looks healthy as HELL!” Not really an insult but was said in legitimate anger and I am still riding that compliment.

    Being called “sweaty” or a “try-hard” in online games. Like, I’m sorry; I love this game so I play it a lot and got pretty good! It’s especially funny when they say that in a game with optional PvP multiplayer like a Souls-like or something…

        Same, if I say nerd it’s always strictly meant to be playful, teasing or as as a description, not meant to be insulting
