  • Or how many parents just kinda suck.

    Joined a random game of Helldivers recently. Two guys and a kid are playing, one is the dad. I'm the random on the team.

    Cool. Kinda wholesome at first. Kid is easily under 10 though and it's the highest difficulty and you can tell that when things pick up they have no clue what's going on.

    Totally cool. Part of what makes the game great is a little co op goes a long way and dying isn't really serious. And they got that, there was light hearted team killing, everyone seems focused on the most important aspect of the game: having fun.

    But when the dad died and gets stuck spectating his kid, he keeps calling him a retard when he's not understanding some gameplay mechanic.

  • It's a culture that heavily pushes self identity. Then you combine that with poor schooling and a sheltered upbringing.

    If you're of limited education, means, and exposure, when it comes time to start outfitting that identity it becomes very easy to place yourself in a box. And that box becomes the lens you see the world through.
