      I swear Git Gud was always more a way for Gamers to smug about their inherent superiority over people having trouble, no matter if the Gamer saying it is actually garbage at the game.

      These people rage the hardest when they get destroyed and cry “cheater”, “exploiter”, “cheap player”, even if they don’t really believe it.

        It’s that old Gamer addage in action. Anyone worse than me is a scrub that needs to git gud, anyone better than me is a no life loser that needs to go outside

      Unironically, we need to turn “git gud” into a leftist dogwhistle.

      Not in a bootstraps way, but for losers who need to rely on social capital to compete against those they erroneously look down on. Your pedigree must not be so great if you need crutches.
