Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.

As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.

Thank you and happy chatting!

It's pretty much saying "I like to sit in my chair and pretend to be a racecar driver."

Would it be better if they're into rally or F1?

And would it be worse if it was a VR headset or multiple screens?

my interpretation of the above (no outside info): basically they found out he was also on 4-chan. presumably he kept a lid on the 4chan vibe because he knew it would not be tolerated. Eventually, his opsec failed and he was cancelled on the basis of also doing 4 chan stuff.

never heard of this game subculture before but apparently it has higher standards of behavior than most western governments.

It was screenshots of him saying shit and posting racist 4chan memes on a discord server that someone dug up and spread around, leading to him getting condemned by basically everyone else involved in the competition and the bulk of the community watching it.
