Hello my friends, and welcome to another episode of the show! This time I’m back by myself, with a rant about the recent phenomenon of “LARPing,” as some people call it. These people use the term to put others down, and I’m sick of it, so I’m gonna rant about that, gatekeeping, and those who would rob us of our joy. I hope y’all enjoy it.

I never really looked at the comments of 3DS videos on Youtube or any social media much, so I’m mostly unaware of the negativity in the comment section. But thank you for pointing out and bringing up the negative aspect from this community.
My girlfriend decorates her pink 3DS with stickers (and posted it on her TikTok) and it’s the cutest thing ever. I also decorated mine with a few stickers at one point. I love watching 3DS decorating videos, because it looks cute. I know some people do it solely for content, which is fine. But some people do it because they want to show off that their system is very personal to them and decorating it makes it even more personal, like my girlfriend’s!
Thank you again for touching on this issue. It needs to be mentioned—because we should celebrate, not berate.
“because we should celebrate, not berate” EXACTLY. Thank you for listening!
