Video Games Aren’t an Excuse

Text on the meme

Lets stop pretending it’s okay to be sexist, racist, or homophobic online just because “it’s a video game”. There’s no excuse. It’s wrong. Do better. It wasn’t okay when it was “widely accepted” and it sure as hell isn’t okay now.

What it means

A screenshot of a tweet condemning sexism, racism, and homophobia in online gaming communities. The joke is absent; it is a serious callout meme or reaction image used to criticize people who excuse abusive behavior by saying that offensive conduct is acceptable because it happens in a video game.
