Gamerism 

Gamerism is a range of political movements, ideologies, and social movements that share a common goal: to define, establish, and achieve political, economic, personal, and social equality for gamers.

The underlying philosophy of gamerism narrates the harsh realities of living in a society that oppresses and subjugates gamers. The gamerism campaigns focus on eleminating the same. Often times it becomes necessary for people to hide the fact that they are gamers. Some of the campaigns focus on making the society more acceptable and tolerant towards gamers.

Some schools of gamerism include the narrative of the misguided society. They describe how the society enforces roles for the people living in it and views individuals in these rigid roles. It is the aim of the gamerism campaigns to show that one doesn't have to be a certain type of person to be a gamer. All people can be gamers and all gamers can have multiple roles in role playing games.
It's interpretation of historical development takes a view of social transformation. It originates from the works of the 21st century philosopher PewDiePie who is often dubbed as the father of gamerism.
There are many different schools of thought under the gamerist ideology. Each of these facets are trying to achieve a different objective. Some ridicule the philosophy of gamerism to be synonymous with a utopia. However it is the commonly held belief of all gamerists that it is not an impossible dream.

Word of the Day on October 28, 2026
A lighthearted reaction upon receiving disappointing news of some sort. Usually something that isn't a particularly a big deal, esp. when it primarily affects someone else - sort of a mild schadenfreude. Sometimes doubled or tripled, and possibly said in a sing-songy voice for added comedic effect to imitate a muted trumpet, which is how the meme originated.

Surf Dracula Syndrome 

A phenomenon in film/television series, most notably streaming series, where the main premise is drawn out to such a point that it takes an entire season or more to get the parts of the series the audience is actually interested in seeing.

For example, if a series is titled "Surf Dracula," a majority of viewers would tune in expecting to see Dracula surfing by the first or second episode. However, the entire first season would instead be tedious padding and backstory before finally ending with Dracula surfing in the last five minutes of the season finale.
I watched "Smallville" on Netflix the other day. Dude, it was ten seasons of filler before he finally flew! Major Surf Dracula Syndrome!
