Almost without exception, when I saw "it's just a game" during an online game, it was a justification for being an asshole, a bigot, or a bigoted asshole. It was the gospel of militant apathy, where the worst crime is caring about anything at all. It was hypocritical, of course: most of those assholes would get really mad if you used "unskilled" weapons in an online shooter, or if your team used strategies that were considered badwrongfun, or gods forbid someone is found out to be gay or feeemale, or worst of all, traaaaaaaaaaaaans. No longer just a game; shit gets real for them then
Treatbrains that bully "defaults" in Fortnite come to mind there. I've been around kids in school that did exactly that toward other kids, offline, tormenting them for being "defaults." Teenage enforcers of monetization.
I see this in the "canon" obsessed lore humpers of most major fiction settings. Until and unless someone on a movie screen says it out loud, it can't happen, stop talking about it, stop finding your niche in what is already fiction. I think there's some symptomatic issue there where they can't imagine themselves in the setting unless they are directly "canon" themselves. Most glaring example are the "Kirito Starks" of Final Fantasy XIV where they slap on what they can on "canon" character names, mix them up until the game accepts the entry, then lurk in Ul'dah chat channel raging about how much they hate trans people (while often playing female characters "because I want to look at this ass all day" as they often say)
That's awful. We had pressure to have cool clothes and spending money back in the day, but not pressure to buy mtx. : p the most pressure i had to look cool in games was from the ultima online bank squatter crowd and most people would give you
