Dr. Disrespect tweet: "Mobile gamers aren't real gamers", causes backlash

[TheBiInBilingual]

Searched, couldn't find anything.

Dr. Disrespect once again lives up to his username, being a total tool imo.



No matter what platform you are on, what way you consume your games, we're all gamers.

I don't follow him tbh so I don't know about his shtick. I saw the tweet quoted by someone I do follow. The only time I ever heard of him when his cheating news was revealed.

Shocking news, the dude who cheated on his wife is an asshole.

 

[Secretofmateria]

Dear Doctor Disrespect,

Who gives a shit?

Sincerely,
Secretofmateria

 

[Lusamine]

Sounds like something Era would say.

 

[Menelaus]

It's constantly incredible how many people fall for bait.

 

[Deleted member 2254]

This "true gamer" elitist culture is horrible, but then again this shit is everywhere. Be indifferent to certain classic rock bands and you're not a real music fan. Don't care about The Godfather and such and you're not a real movie aficionado. Same old elitism everywhere.

 

[Shogun]

Seem perfectly in line with his character though? He's a shit talking action hero from the 80's.

 

[Deleted member 38050]

Who cares what this dipshit thinks, honestly. Why would you take anything this dork says seriously?

 

[delete12345]

Yeah, that quote reads as if Nintendo Switch users are being excluded.

 

[Rickenslacker]

well yeah, but being a tool is kind of his whole shtick

kids like it

 

[Wez]

Poor attempt at a dril tweet

 

[Tophat Jones]

Such a revered title. How dare he take it away from people.

 

[Lord Vatek]

Anyone who uses "real gamer" in any context anywhere is a massive tool.

 

[SJRB]

It's fucking Dr. Disrespect

 

[Tbm24]

Damn, was literally playing a mobile game a few minutes ago. What am I to do now? :(

 

[Ant_17]

That is some old bait there doc.

 

[Imp]

I'd wager to bet that he isn't a real Dr either.

[Lant_War]

Most of Era probably agrees with him lmao.

 

[Deleted member 43084]

The tweet has 2.5k comments against 9.4k retweets: I wouldn't call that disagreement unfortunately.

 

[Fat4all]

Commander Keen not doing it for ya?

wait until the Jill of the Jungle mobile game is announced from Epic Games!

 

[NinjaScooter]

2012 called, it wants it's take back.

 

[Leviathan]

I don't really want him or anything, but doesn't he tweet in character?

 

[Mona]

temporary cheater's aren't real cheaters

dude needs to step his game up, marcus psp

 

[jviggy43]

Why would anyone want to be labeled as such anyway?

 

[scare_crow]

Sick burn, fellow Hardcore Gamer! Death to casuals!!!

Good LORD I hate the term "gamer" in any respect.

 

[Minarik]

I mean, I can't say I'm not disappointed every time a game announcement is some shit mobile game. Look at the garbage Bethesda showed lol

 

[Burt]

I'm not a gamer

don't you dare call me a gamer

 

[amnesties]

this guy has the best pseudonym

 

[The Vathlonian]

Is this a serious issue in the community? I'm not trying to dismiss it. I just don't know anything about mobile gaming or how its viewed these days.

 

[Cactuar]

To be fair, his name is "Dr. Disrespect."

 

[ThankDougie]

"X type of people aren't REAL type of people" is usually a formula indicating someone is full of shit

 

[Blayde]

is this guy still relevant?

 

[Gizmo]

Who cares what he thinks?

 

[kiguel182]

We should give him a platform. What a moronic statement.

 

[NekoNeko]

because they aren't as racist and sexist?

 

[Abdulrahman]

I don't follow him or anything, but I think he is right, 100%.

 

[CalamityPixel]

So if I play Hearthstone on PC I'm a gamer but not if I play on mobile?

 

[OfficerRob]

You are literally falling for the bait of his character

 

[Man Called Aerodynamics]

Welcome to an argument that everyone else got tired of five years ago, or...?

 

[7threst]

I didn't know Giorgio Moroder was into gaming

 

[Zhukov]

Why oh wwwwwwwwhhhhyyy do people give a shit?

It is so utterly beyond me that someone would care about who is or isn't a Real Gamer.

It's fucking worse than console wars.

 

[PancakeFlip]

Shouldn't this not be taken seriously?

 

[NSESN]

Sounds like something Era would say.

It reminds me of when people say "handheld ghetto"

 

[Miggytronz]

My wife plays candy crush regularly. I don't consider her a gamer.

 

[Killyoh]

What's the appeal of being a real gamer anyway

 

[AmbientRuin]

Well yeah women play games on phones and women arent gamers
Semper Games

well yeah, but being a tool is kind of his whole shtick

"I dont make as much money off of mobile gamers" is what he meant
