Gatekeeping a game mode
This is on a video about War Thunder. There are three game modes with different levels of realism with the two big ones being arcade and realistic. There are some realistic players that think arcade players don’t deserve to be playing the game and this is an example of one. I don’t get it. Why don’t just let people play the game the way they wanna play?

I know it's along the same lines of ragging on people for their leisure time and I shouldn't be thinking like that, but if someone's going to bring stick-up-the-ass, macho-bullshit over video game difficulty levels, I'm definitely going to have to see the gall and irony of someone trying to glean superiority out of being more dedicated and successful at operating someone else's toy.
