      tourists.

      Such a perfect term for right-wing chud culture warriors who’ve never played the game’s entries in their lives to show up and make money off outrage they stoke for youtube clicks then when the well dries up they disappear into the night.

        I’ve noticed calling them tourists really pisses them off and makes them wander off from whatever intended chuddery they were otherwise going to do to overreact to being called that.

        Keep doing it!

          It works because the narrative in their minds is that fake fans of the series are coming and making it “woke” to spite them. They don’t like it when it turns out in reality they were the real fake fans all along.
