pixelante

An insult coined by Miami lawyer and anti-videogame crusader Jack Thompson to describe gamers who fought back against his attempts to ban violent games. While intended as an ad hominem insult, some gamers have taken the mantle on proudly as "pixelantes".

Believed to be a portmanteau derived from "pixel", a reference to videogame graphics, and "vigilante".

Glad to be of service in annoying the pixelante pukes.
