Ironic term used to describe a person, typically male, who is of low social status and cretinous intellect that spends most of their days in their mother's basement being a sweaty tryhard on video games while feeding on nothing other than caffeine and whatever fast food and other greasy snacks they can get their
cheeto-covered fingers on - furthermore characterized as an immature
virgin that uses the digital space as an outlet for their
deep insecurities. Their style of communication also takes on a form akin to the typical
gamer stereotype seen circa the start of the 21st century.
Given their intellect (or lack thereof), epic gamers often lack the empathy and emotional intelligence to properly communicate with others both in real life and on the
internet, thus leading them into a closed
loop of being a miserably disgraceful annoyance to anyone who may have the misfortune of running into them.
